This is either an engineering marvel or disaster depending if you love or hate the fruit. It does make one hell of a comedy prop.

I think this article applies here:

Mr. P85D’s wife sounds like a keeper. His fiancee wants to pay her own way, so that is one less worry (and one less conflict point).

“Even though I let the salesman know they are my GP’s, he continued to screw them over by selling them a bare bones, no optioned Camry, at a stupid price”

I can relate to the sexist behavior of stealerships.

This is very interesting. I use Seagate extensively and had zero failures so far. I use a few Hitachi for 2.5” drives with no problems, either. I had 3 WD drives where 2 failed. The one that did not fail was used for an external backup.

Don’t forget the gas mileage for this hybrid was EQUAL to a regular Civic at 37 mph with a price premium. Hells no!

I sat in one during the local auto show years ago. Visibility through those little windows was very poor. The plastic made the interior look cheap.

Jaguar XJ-220. A supercar tha tpromised a 12 cylinder, but was released with an anemic 6 cylinder.

Aztek. The concept car was great, the production car was neutered.

The last I read about his big dig, the boring machine broke and the construction firm had to dig a new hole to drag it out.

I troll on DOTA when I need that little edge. There is nothing like disgusting taunts and porn links to throw off your opponent’s mojo.

“X4 and X6 (even numbers) are the “sporty” ones that look like giant wheeled armadillos”

I forgot to add that the holes for the suspension cables to thread at both ends of the bridge are off center. Any sway causes the cable to rub against the concrete and damage the very cables holding up the bridge.

The cherry on top was making the car out of stainless steel which makes working with aluminum seem easy.

What was wrong with the Countach?

I lay the blame squarely on Caltrans. They picked the steel contractors.

Definitely up there with Audi engineers.

Takata, apparently.

I disagree on this one. We have rockets filled with hydrogen and other flammable liquids all the time. I attribute this to lack of safety knowledge at the time.
