Yeah, I was actually surprised by that as well.

Last weekend I had a friend putting together a Sci-Fi themed wedding and they wanted to borrow my DeLorean as a prop. Too bad we didn't have time to do the time machine mock-up it but it was cool enough on its own.

That is a fair point, but I still defend anyone's rights to wear no protective gear. Even if helmets weren't required where I live I'd still wear one.

A Subaru wagon of pretty much any previous generation is insanely common among Seattle hipsters.

Under the fiberglass tub is a "double Y" backbone chassis like in a Lotus Esprit.

I never knew I had to worry about "erectial disfunction". I'm not even sure what muscle to flex so I can check its function. The media is always making me feel inadequate in ways I hadn't realized.

I'm not sure if this counts, but under those thin stainless panels the DeLorean made extensive use of fiberglass. This helped keep the weight to about 2800 pounds.

I ride and don't care if someone wears less gear than me. I believe in personal responsibility.

I'm with you on loving the Juke as it is. I love it even more after driving the surprisingly fun to shift six speed version. My girlfriend really wants one if they'd offer six speed and all wheel drive.

I don't get too excited about the new Explorers but for some reason when outfitted with Patrol gear they look damn good.

I feel bad for anyone trying to keep their car nice in the city.

It totally looks like she's standing right next to it!

The DeLorean built Solstice. It may be a bad idea but I actually thought it was cool.

I also imagine this helps considerably for model name recognition and marketability. Japanese characters often being complex and detailed would mean a badge needs to be quite large for easy reading at a distance.

No kidding. I had no idea they were so obsessive about outside words meshing with theirs that it has become a matter of law. Even foreign movie titles are required to contain some French or a French subtitle.

Well sure, you weren't driving it!

I actually like this one. At least it did have black wheels, mirrors and black folding hardtop to back up the name.

I know what you mean and I can't stand being blasted with everything the car's got on startup. Unfortunately only recently are cars programmed to start slow and progressively build up due to complaints about this feature.
