ok, so geezer here, but as a kid I remember these. There was a mix of old and new trains, and I regretted it when one of these old ones pulled up.

Didn’t know there was a another city with orange subway interiors. Helsinki metro went for orange in the 70's and after a attempt in the late 90's to change the color it has now come synonymous with the metro and people rather just embrace it.

Even though I no longer live in NYC, I’m happy to see the R42's back in service, if only for a little bit. I always liked the R42's, but the R46/R68 were my absolute favorite subway cars. They had the right smell, the orange seats were lovely, and they held up really nicely. When the Q train switched to the awful R160 

I equally blame the manufacturers, only interested in profits, stock valuations and the CEO’s salaries, and the government’s poor to no, or puppet, oversight. Whatever the reason, we’ve sure forgotten how to build quite a few things:

It amazes me how so many transit vehicle makers can’t seem to build good vehicles.

The Warriors did it!

Fender mirrors look soooooo good 

Quick correction: not a ‘70 Corolla 1600gt, but rather an E70 Corolla 1600gt (produced from 1979 to 1987, not sure if the 1600gt was available for all model years).

Nissan really needs a split personality Akio/Morizo at the helm, maybe put a bit of life back into their lineup.

Watching him genuinely lose his mind on the WRC podiums with his drivers pretty much cemented that, yes, he is a real hoon at heart...

Gazoo all the way

What even is with Boeing right now?

Who puts comments like that in internal corporate emails? I have never seen any back and forth of that nature in 40 years in corporate environments, even in one-on-one email discussions.  From the nature of the topics being discussed, these should be a heck of a lot more professional.

A hint you might have designed a horrible plane : special training is required to combat the automatic, self-destruct feature.

Looks like Boeing picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue......

It’s because the speed limit in their entire state is 7

If it helps any, we hate our insurance.

it’s not the speed that kills you, it’s the sudden stop

I’m shocked! Shocked!
Ok, not that shocked. 
I mean, anyone from Ohio could tell you NO ONE IN MICHIGAN CAN DRIVE.

Interesting. Utah was one of the first states to do an 80 mph limit and the data showed almost none of what this study found. Marginal changes in speeding or injuries and people, for the most part, still just drive 80.
