Back when the Pontiac Aztek came out, my neighbor a couple of doors down wanted one, and ended up buying one from the dealership where I was assigned at the time. He drove us to golf the next weekend, and stopped for gas. While he was filling up, someone asked him where he had won the car. He replied that he’d bought…

It was probably the cheapest solution that technically met the written requirements. Everyone gets upset when the government spends too much of their money so they probably had to go with the lowest bidder rather than their preferred solution.

These are excellent questions. I think Torch needs to write an article about these very important issues.

This is a concept car. Concept cars are pretty much by definition design exercises. Engineering exercises wouldn’t have an interior anywhere near that nice.

See!!! What do you have to say now all your run-flat tire naysayers who are always saying nay about run-flats?

All I need to finith ith my two front tireth

Pfft, what wimps. I’m spent my whole life with 2 front tires. And on my motorcycle... ONE mic drop

To begin the 3D printing process of the moon, insert the source material into the reservoir...

Great water effects though, have to give them credit for that.

“Land of Eleven Thousand, Eight Hundred and Fourty Two Lakes” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.
