@Jr_Pharaoh: I was hoping to actually gain some perspective from this, but it's just 9 1/2 minutes of protest footage set to dramatic music. Waste of time.

I thought this list was stupid until I got down to 7. Then, I was like, "oh yeah, that's right."

Hey, Bulldog.

What's with the Toyota emblem on the steering wheel?

One of my favorites.

@wjbean: You want a graphic representation of a toroid? Here you go, I got you a whole box of 'em.

The #1 thing the 400i had going for it was its beautiful lines (as well as being, I believe, the last Columbo-engined Ferrari). The decapitation just ruins it.

Awesome. The only disappointment? Those stickers mean they've really settled on the name "Veloster", haven't they?

For those commenting on the looks, let me point to the fact that Saab has a history (as do most other manufacturers) of using old bodies to cover completely new underpinnings in early testing. In Saab's case, one such vehicle actually became somewhat famous as the "Toad". This widened 96 was used for early testing…

*Chassis test mules*. It's common to use older bodies riding on new chassis (or the unibody equivalent) in early development. Actually, Saab has a history of doing just that, with a famous example being the "Toad" test car of 1966, which used a 96 body to cover 99 running gear. [en.wikipedia.org]

@Kardster: Yep, all travel in the "levels" is still based on a 29.92 altimeter setting. By the way, I'm by no means calling you a liar. If your GPS read 34,000 feet, it just means the local barometric pressure actually was 29.92. It's certainly not impossible, just an interesting coincidence.

@Nomic: Cell towers don't radiate signal in all directions. They emit a toroidal radiation pattern, the perimeter of which is not far from the ground.

@wjbean: No antenna radiates signal in a sphere. Cell towers, like all dipoles, exhibit a toroidal radiation pattern. If it were possible for cell signal patterns to be spherical (it isn't), it would take some pretty stupid engineers to set them up that way. You want most of your gain localized in the areas where,…

@Kardster: That's weird. It really shouldn't have, since once an airplane crosses 18,000 feet, the altimeter is set to 29.92 and the airplane is flown by pressure altitude. Usually, when the pilot says you're at 34,000 feet, you're not actually at 34,000 feet. You're just at the same "34,000 feet" as all other…

Okay, since the Cold War is over, I'll help you out. We'll try and bounce a signal off our interstellar space probe from outside the solar system. I'll just use this photo to make sure I get the azimuth right.

Sorry, Yuri. America can't hear you from up here. You'll have to speak up.

It's been said already, but who would I be if I didn't come here and put in my two cents' worth. As great as my Range Rover love is, the P38 and 3rd gen models mean very little to me. The classic is where it's at. Legend says the Land Rover assigned David Bache (of Rover P6) fame to design the body, but the…

Hot damn that looks good.
