The choose your own adventure trim. In this day and age, there is no reason that cars cannot be almost infinitely customizable. I get that some things may not work together. For example, perhaps a manual transmission and a deluxe cupholder package won’t both fit. Beyond that, let me choose what I want. If I want…

The Isetta. A single door in the front of the “car” instead of door(s) on the side(s).

Car soap fumes rising from a freshly-washed car are a laxative for birds...

RE: 1st gear - Is there any kind of “fast track” certification for small changes? I could see the closing of this loophole having a negative impact on innovation if the tiniest change requires a full certification process.

Agreed. This was my first bike too. If I remember, the tank was painted pink and the bike was a bit banged up, but that was perfect for me.

I agree with the Suzuki SV650. Another good choice would be one of the older Suzuki GS500 bikes. In terms of how much power is right, I think that’s the wrong question. It isn’t a matter of how much power a bike has. It’s more an issue of how it’s delivered. A lot of the sport bikes, that pretty much everyone (except…

Social media is all about engaging a specific community. For a car dealership, there are two specific communities: brand enthusiasts and the physical local area they serve.

I guess this law sort of makes sense to the extent that, even if you’re not speeding during some kind of race or contest, your attention is focused at least partly on your progress related to the other vehicle instead of paying attention to your surroundings, etc.

Totally the guy playing guitar in the front seat. My first thought was - the driver can’t see shit so he’s going to rear end or t-bone someone and the guitar playing asshole will die from guitar shrapnel when the airbag goes off!

Here’s a mundane question for you - when do you change the oil? The thing has been sitting on a boat for several months. Was it changed by Japanese Classics before you picked it up? Was it changed before it was put on the boat?

Hey Elizabeth Mitchell . . . Imma let you finish, but Baby Beluga is the best song ever!!!

When I was a kid (14 years old or so - probably in 1990), my brother and I drove with our mom from Pittsburgh, PA to visit the Antietam battleground. At the time, my mom had an 1988 Honda Accord with the pop up headlights and a manual transmission. On our way there, at a stop light, my mom looked at a map. While we…

Neutral - In part, I think Cadillac needs to keep doing what they’re doing, which is releasing high quality products that are very competitive in their market segments. As much as anything, the $12 Billion needs to be used to increase the value of Cadillacs to get more of them out the door. I see two ways to increase…

How about Ronald Reagan’s proposed “new Orient Express?” An aircraft that could take off from Dulles, accelerate to Mach 25, and arrive in Tokyo within two hours.

I'm not opposed to some of the above rule changes, but a simple fix to start would be to eliminate the k balls. I've never understood why the NFL allows one football for most plays and a different, softer ball for kicking. If kickers had to kick the harder balls, accuracy would likely suffer somewhat. While we're…

Kind of what I figured. I'm guessing if you routinely abused the mileage restrictions by too much, you wouldn't be getting future press cars. Thanks for answering!

Two things I'm kind of curious about with a supercar press car like this:

I can't cite to anything right now, but my understanding is that using the plural "they" pronoun is an acceptable substitute over the singular "he" or "she" when you want to be gender neutral.

The over-riding theme of these selections seems to be "slow is good - don't pick a supercar because there won't be anyone to pull your ass out of a ditch when you slide off the road into an embankment."

OK...that was funny!
