Ford has more money to spend on lawyers than these guys can ever expect to make selling those body kits. Plus they’re almost certainly guaranteed to win since they patent their designs. If Apple can beat Samsung over squircles, this is gonna be a slam dunk for Ford.

As long as the body kit is MADE for fender washers, like the Pandem and Rocket Bunny kits, I think it looks good. But using rivets/fender washers on a kit not designed with them in mind just looks half-assed.

Hertz is doing something stupid and having it blow up on social media is as predictable as a rainy day in Seattle

For example, their most recently issued design patent is for a lower grille that looks like the grille on the current gen mustang. Also, they won a decision against the Automotive…

Im not feeling the Suprabird. It needs a bigger wing and different wheels. It also feels a bit lazy, its like they pulled some stuff off the shelves slapped it on the car and then painted it blue.

the buses are not fans of this practice, and they’ve been ratting out the parents reporting a crime

I have no sympathy for parents like this.  Park around the block and walk to the front of the school to get your kid.  It’s pure selfishness.

I was going to almost partly side with the parents, but really it’s not a problem the city made. It’s a problem the schools made by not setting up the school with an addequate way for parents to drop off. Whether that’s a public school system issue or private schools, I don’t know.

When asked about “tackling the nation’s debt,” he mentioned changing the tax code, and then went on to say there would be some financial difficulty imposed on some Americans. “Most importantly, we have to reduce spending to live within our means,” he said, adding that these efforts will “involve some temporary…

I don’t think it’s too far off - a few grand? Could probably push for asking if it had the premium interior.

Okay, everybody say it with me now:
