Precisely, but as is I'm surprised anyone is fooled by this.

How about "Have more than 2 of these and you'll be LOCAL MOTORboating!" Yes the drink name is a sentence.

that doesn't look remotely real.

I never claimed it was plausible for commercial vehicles as-is, just that I like it's simplicity. So many dashboards today are a clusterf*ck hot-mess of over-designed sculptural elements that a 'back to roots' dash layout would be a nice change of pace.

I actually like the dash better than some modern commercial cars out there. Simple, clean, uncluttered, and tastefully modern. The rest of this thing however = giant crack pipe!

It's a pirate ship with wings!!!

Lucky until he had to clean up the brown mess on the driver's seat.

So... he's the African version of Grizzly Man?

I have only visited the city, but saw that all the bike paths actually take the cyclists onto the sidewalks. When asking my cousin about this, he lived there, I was informed that this is the case throughout the city. Curious about this I did a little research and discovered this was not as uncommon as I had thought.…

In some cities you are required to ride on the sidewalk and not in the streets. Hamburg, Germany for instance.

Don't worry, this will be covered by the license plate.

Cool! Thanks for the history on this. It's always interesting to know how different the 'lives' of such vehicles had in reality vs. on the silver screen.

Makes me think of them as high school kids, "Hey Jim, do you think I could come with you?" "Sure I guess, why not? Just sit on…

Yeah sure, I'd love to wear that thing every time I sit down to eat. Looks super comfortable too!

Wasn't this posted about a week ago already?!?!?!?!

Looks like visibility at the A-pillar isn't all that great.

There is a big difference between a gondola system and a cable car. Pictured here is the latter. So, since you are using the terms interchangeably, which are you referring to? I think the GONDOLA would be more practical in a situation such as this. Additionally, the existing CABLE CAR going to Roosevelt Island sets a…

Despite the similarities in aesthetics, this is a completely different system than the Space Shuttle.

This Rendering doesn't match up with the one above. Here there is what appears to be metal cladding on the wall, whereas in the rendering above there is exposed steel beams with a curtain system pf some sort and a catwalk between both floor levels. Perhaps these are depicting 2 different stairs, but that doesn't…
