I noticed the same thing...hammered metal? doesn’t exactly fit the theme of a Ferrari interior.

Agreed; in the case of the original GTO, it meant that the required number of street cars was to have already been produced in order to make the race car legal (although this wasn’t true at all). In this case, with the total number of vehicles limited to one and one only, the name is truly ironic.

Unsightly bulges:

cheep cheep...

probably that forged carbon fiber bullshit thats really just like carbon particle board or chip board.  dont know why thats such a big thing.  it looks terrible. 

Na, it’s actually cheap. Only $5.98 at can at HD.

I’m sure somehow that cheesy looking silver plastic trim on the inside is actually some uber expensive material, it just looks cheep and chintzy.

Even a Formula Firebird thinks that’s ridiculous.

I’ll say this about the 1st gen Leaf’s weird headlights, though: they absolutely worked as designed. They looked like that to channel airflow around the side of the front mirrors, and I’ll be damned if there was almost no wind noise around the front mirrors.

I drive a dorky looking hatchback too!

Looks, range, performance and price etc etc just like my Wifes 2020Nissan Leaf, even the interior is close

Believe it or not, my 1984 Camaro had that exact feature — loved it!!!  jb

“One feature I would love to see on intermittent wipers is a “tap tempo” feature like many guitar delay and modulation pedals now have. It would use a momentary switch - tap it once and release, tap it again and release and the time between those two taps would be the wiper interval.”

My old 2007 Vauxhall Astra had that feature - if you pushed the wiper stalk down once and then again when the screen needed clearing and then pushed the stalk up to activate the intermittent wipe it would go at the speed of the down presses on the wiper stalk (if that make sense!). I don’t recall the feature being…

Windshield wipers used to be powered by vacuum motors, rather than electric motors like they are today.

They’ve been around a lot longer than you think and many have been successful. Here’s one that will blow your mind - an elevated and inverted monorail that goes over streets, canals and even over electrified street cars. This film is nearly 120 years old. And by the way, the system is STILL IN USE.

Monorails aren’t necessarily a worse idea, but they’re a more space efficient idea in the case of static routes. Roadways for cars can be built above, and monorails can be hung from below. It’s just a matter of planning.

Sadly planning is something American traffic and civil engineers seem to have forgotten about since…

this one does look cool.

What about the rumor I heard that they were going to partner with FiatChryslerStellanis on using the turbo-encabulator?

I think Ford should also not consider an electric version, with power supplied by an onboard thorium reactor.
