I feel like we don’t spend nearly enough time talking about Burt Reynolds’ Citroën SM in The Longest Yard.

It seems like you have to do a fair amount of work to clean parts with that - and you can only do one at a time as you manually spray or brush it down.

I didn’t realize the Microlino even carried forward the Isetta’s headlights mounted like wing mirrors. Please tell me they put mirrors or cameras on the other side of that.

The most important feature of the concept is the quick-release mechanisms everywhere that make for easy dismantling and easy refurbishment.

Pretense.

Don Norman would have a field day with the Dyane’s door handles.

I would have voted for the Mazda Porter, but the t360 is also a good choice.

It’s the El Camino.

Because I know you’re going to want one of those gadgets for yourself, here’s the actual translator he was using.

And yet none of the American automakers seem capable of it. Ford has given up on cars entirely, Chrysler is basically just selling a minivan and some old stock of a 16 year old model they have laying around, and Chevy is limping along with infinite SUVs and a Corvette.


$500 would be a good price for the whole bike, not the deposit.

Everyone should watch Greased Lightning, starring Richard Pryor as Wendell Scott.

The Lyriq has CAPACITIVE BUTTONS.

Is a 535xi a “sleeper?” Maybe so.

I’m looking up the laws for North Carolina, and it sounds like his insurance policy might not have to pay at all, since it’s his own fault?

I would have suggested a Cayman if I had found any in Oregon - but the quick search I did only turned up ones in the 45k and up range.

A lot less than an AV driving on city streets. And a lot less than a human-controlled flying motorcycle at 15,000 feet.

If flying motorcycles ever make it to market, they’re going to be autonomous. That’s the only way they’d ever be safe to operate. As autonomous (and probably EV) vehicles, they make a lot of sense. It’s much easier for an AV to operate without all the unpredictability and complexity of ground-level navigation.

Cayman was my first thought as well, but I couldn’t find any in Oregon near his budget.
