To say the least.

Does that mean one chicken in French?

Re Model T: besides standardization and simplicity, obviously the other key to the Model T was continually improved assembly line mass production. All cars already have that, with robots doing lots of things people used to do and cars built to be easier to stick together and easier to make near perfect. So the other…

I drove one once. It was frightening. Worst handling since the '53 Buick Roadmaster.

The current Sienna comes in a not often seen SE model with a sportier interior with two color leather/cloth seats , different front facia, one inch bigger wheels, stiffer suspension and steering (I think), and clear taillights. Doesn't quite make it the coolest thing ever, but for a minivan it's something. At least it…

The two seat offset bench is a thing of the past, or almost. Siennas and Hondas and Kias have either two regular buckets, two buckets with seat in between, or two luxury thrones.

All the non-Kia minivans have the shifter on the dashboard. Not at handy as a column shift, but cooler I guess, and you can still cross over in the front if you have to.

I think that's the same basically as the Quest.

That looks like it's US minivan size. GM is stupid to not sell them here. My neighborhood is half minivans, but it's also half Asian families.

That's at the Smithsonian. It was used by a real family for vacations. Excellent choice - the original Caravan with the fake wood and fake wires.

Another Alexander Calder Braniff.

Braniff Airlines around 1975.

And there is a bike path from DC to there.

Best ever.

Going back to aluminum with some stripes and lettering would save fuel by saving weight.

The Continental Meatball scheme was The Proud Bird With the Golden Tail. Which led to the unfashionably sexist "We move our tail for you."

Yes there is.

Bigger steering wheel for more leverage, a lot slower ratio for the same reason, bicep building parking.

Americans don't buy diesels because of a history of much lower fuel prices than Europe, and today unlike in the past Diesel fuel is around 20% more expensive plus the cost of the fluid stuff most need. GM didn't help with diesels a couple decades ago that only lasted long enough for a test drive, although I'm sure no…

The Statue of Liberty is less than 160 feet high not including the base. In 35 mph winds it gets kind of unnerving in the crown (top of the head highest accessible point with the windows). Of course, with just a framework and copper skin it has a lot less inertia than a building would. It is reassuring that it has…
