I hate questions like this one because there is only one answer and that answer is quite obvious, and then I never see the thread early enough to post that obvious answer which means that I don't get to have my name forever immortalized in 1's and 0's on Jalopnik. :'(

V10 for maximum sex appeal

You have assumed correctly. The mobile site, kinja, and a 4G connection were too much for my phone to do as it was told.

Good catch.

This car/truck has been featured on NPoCP before. It was listed at $7900 then.

Dually to carry the immense weight of that front bumper's ugliness.

There should be a sport where they take two disused TBMs, put them face to face and have them battle it out.

best griswald-mobile ever made.

Though perhaps not strictly one-offs, giant tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are often designed specifically for one project and will often not see any work after completing said project.

If you were not part of the safety and quality teams, what are the chances you're going to be hearing about some sort of fuckup outside your department, especially if that compartment didn't address the issue seriously or tried to cover it up?

Convince the world they're incompetent?

I have a fun one about stalling:

Stalling a motorcycle. At least in a car you can hide in shame, on a bike everyone can see you. That pretty much sums up my first week with my Ducati's dry clutch.

Beat me to it! Stalling your manual. Terribly embarrassing, especially for an enthusiast.

Hahaha right. I only do that when there are other people in the car. never on my own

I've been there. I think 4 or 5 cars drove around me before my uncle (who was teaching me) and I figured out what was happening. This was also the same day I stalled about 17,000 times in the grocery store parking lot with basically my whole town watching.
