Ah, Wunderbox technology! Is that the EV version of the TornadoFuelSaver?

Longitudinal rather than traverse engine. Leading edge of windshield pushed forward.

Long list for me. But I own one: a base 1981 Plymouth Champ.

Well, I’m not the least bit empathic to those fancy pants folks who actually have room in their garage to park a car. They obviously have money to blow on a storage unit.

I just have to click through to read the news that didn’t happen.

I have a long S-curve driveway. Teaching the car to handle that maneuver to back my convertible into the garage would be appealing.

My daughter totally did NOT back in some thing solid with the front passenger side door open, bending the door frame and creating a 1.5 inch gap between top of door and roof. Chunk of 2x4 between bottom of door and door sill combined with many aggressive pushes and cathartic grunts and everything is square and tight

He was putting in 5 hrs of OT in the average week.   And I imagine he didn't complain about it behind the boss's back. 

This seems like the perfect candidate for BAT, not CL.

I’ve been going down a bunch of weird automotive rabbit holes today...

You also need the Art of Editing by Sissors and Baskette. (Which seems like it should be part of the Car Talk credits.) A spiral bound AP Stylebook is also a must have.  

A KITT era Trans Am is very wedgie. 

Or just buy a factory head unit off ebay. (If VW hasn’t already scooped them up!)

Roll down back window (like old station wagons, pickups, and Mercury Breezeway.

If they went full “Hardbody” with a hybrid or electric drive train, I think there are plenty of folks who would bite. Part nostalgia, part a love of basic pickup.

Count-ack? 

That light bar is mounted way too low to blind folks at stop lights.  But nothing a lift kit and a thousand LEDs can’t fix.

I knew that buses have very large blind spots. But who knew it was right in front of the windshield.

Suburban Portland, OR isn’t really bush country.  Must be legal given there’s no coverage to the contrary.

Suburban Portland isn’t quite as remote as Alaska.  I’m just surprised it’s allowed.
