Cadillac once did a small series of pickups, and they looked really nice. Might as well give it another go.

If reliability was the major factor when being vehicles, we’d all own Hondas and Toyotas.

One could make the argument, that these things drove as cars, before they took to the air.
The Dutch Carver microcar looked like a good idea, but unfortunately the company went bust after producing a small number of the tilting three-wheelers. Someone has picked up the pieces to produce the PAL-V ONE rotary wing airplane.
The GAZ engine - license built copy of the Ford A engine - was also used with a propeller.
The ‘DKW Erla Me 5a’ had the same 2-cyl. two stroke engine as the DKW car pulling it here. As the picture suggest, it was made to be easily disassembled and towed behind a car.
What are the odds that your mother dies while you’re driving your car, and doing so at a time you could actually get to her deathbed in time? Besides, it only happens once in your (and her) lifetime anyway.
They’re great. When I was a post office supervisor for a few years, I used them if a colleague came in asking for something he/she/it already knew was a stupid request.
Not really. Some years ago I talked to a Boeing representative who was over here [in Denmark], trying to get us to buy F-18s instead of F-35s. His opinion was that politics was the single major factor, when the decision on what would replace our aging F-16s was made. But this relates only to military procurement.
Right off I’d assume that the Sukhoi design team built in the maneuvarablity for a reason, and that reason not being to excel at air shows. A fighter jet is a tool, and Sukhoi - being professional airplane designers - must have concluded that building it this way was the best. It doesn’t matter if the seemingly crazy…
Naw, the British Harriers already had the Argentine fighters under control. Mainly by better tactics (like kicking the Harrier into ‘reverse’, so the Mirages end up ahead instead), but also because the Argentine air force was rapidly running out of auxiliary fuel tanks for long range missions. When going into a combat…
Epic indeed, but it made no military sense at all. The few bombs dropped and the relatively insignificant damage they did, in no way could justify the expense of flying the bombers and tanker planes that far. Surely the Vulcan is a beautiful plane, and likely would have been good at delivering nukes (thankfully not…
So true, just like bonobos….
Space alien? Terrestrials have their little toes on the outside, mind…..
Guess there’s no restriction on stuffing the passenger into the trunk, if he/she/it turns out to be really obnoxious.
Add half an inch (or even a full inch) of sole to your riding boots. Along with the seat modifications, it all helps.
Hard to believe that anyone still writes what you just wrote....
Good and predictable, until last pic. Well played.
