@Dave Mangold: It usually just counts from the from to back, but in a truly B-pillarless car you still usually refer to the pillar holding the backlight (see what I did there) as the "C" pillar.

@pauljones: Exactly.
@salguod: XPN is ok, but incredibly hit or miss. They can be great, then head into a Joni Mitchell/Beach Boys kick for an hour that makes me want to shoot myself in the balls.
The music stations are generally awful here in Philly, so I've pretty much ended up like an old dude listening to NPR (WHYY) in the car.
@Fish_Beard: one word: cropping.
Much too fast into Chicago, and I think he lifted in the Follow Through.
@seeayesix: When I was there they did no clay, all hard modeling. Used to be plaster, now more modern materials. But yeah, clay's possible too.
@doomonu: I'll bet the white and silver ones are both design dummies made from high-desnity foam or resin. Common practice when creating a new design, especially at Pininfarina.
Just doing their part to keep future collector car prices high!
@rev02: Um, I'm pretty sure this guy is one of those 14-year-olds.
@Shamoononon: Perhaps, but really, if you live in a place with 21 foot long crocodiles, you probably don't do a lot of skinny dipping in muddy ponds anyway, y'know?
Yay for killing giant 350 million year-old animals because they ate your food while trying to survive!
@moonshadowkati: Because 90% of the time, what we're getting is a 3D rendering of something 2D that started as 3D. Real life has real depth, it isn't on a flat screen with fake 3D "effect" applied.
I've seen a hell of a lot of Explorers over the years, and I can tell you that most have been driven by slightly overweight middle-aged women to and from Walmart. Don't blame Ford for ruining the Explorer name, blame the buyers.
The real reason Facebook has such low scores is that they keep making their site worse in order to make money. They're doing the same thing as airlines – using their position of power to take away convenience for profit – and therefore inspire similar feelings.
@gman1023: Totally wrong.
@TraderCoz: The shocking thing is how recognizable they are, even at a very advanced age. Most of them still have the same cockiness and swagger they did when they were racing.
I met John Fitch about a decade ago at the Watkins Glen historics and I have to say, the man was 100 times cooler at 80+ years old than I was at 25 and also a "hoot" to chat with.
@MikeK: I absolutely agree. I find the usability, from upload to searching, to be atrocious. Problem is, there isn't really a better solution at the moment, all the options are pretty awful.
