Not weird maybe but kind of the opposite of most dealerships - the British Motors dealership on Van Ness in San Francisco. It was a Parckard dealership by architect Bernard Maybeck and opened in 1927.

More of a parking lot. And sporting a Castriota Chevrolet sign (from the old dealer?).

I guess thieves don't need Composition notebooks.

The Super is far better than the awful normal Beetle. Longer wheelbase, modern front suspension, probably crashes better, windshield not touching your nose.

Hand crank windows now would end up costing more than power because of a whole different door panel design for a few cheapskates.

They used to do power windows with just a switch in the winder hole. Eventually it's a whole unique door panel without room for the handle to rotate and bigger pockets and different arrangement instead. If only a few percent of people want winders, they would cost more than the power windows.

Sounds like the old New Beetle, which stupidly only had enough rear headroom for people without heads.

But no one likes or wants them. Even a cheap car shouldn't scream CHEAPSKATE these days.

Assuming the story is true, he should have been sent off the plane obviously.

Yes that one was ridiculous, but I know I have been in the odd situation that I found very upsetting also, and I don't freak out much. It was probably the treatment that is not captured in a short account. I can see them pouring the half cup of water in a fuck you way with a matching expression after what they already…

Actually I think the old one was really amateurish. Obviously the far simpler windshield/roof part is better and cheaper and less like 1940. The new one is OK, and the low headlights are better practically.

The new NYC Nissan cab has a lot going for it, but looks are not one. They could have spent a dollar more on a silvered plastic grille frame at least, although it's really time for a new front clip on those anyway, that one being awful. And naked steel wheels always look terrible. Fifteen bucks worth of plastic wheel…

Every truck of every kind does that in Brooklyn.

Damnit you beat me to it.

If you Euros don't know what the silver car is, Ford US took the old Focus and made it look like a new car instead of making the second gen Focus. Look closely to the middle part and you'll see it's the same. But before that they facelifted the front end to make it look more traditional, with a bit of the old early…

And much less shining right through car's back window.

There may be many things better about the new billion dollar London bus, but the previous one looked a lot better. The asymettrical swoop on the front is uncomfortable, and for some reason it's really rounded at the top and from the rear it looks like something streamlined from 1938 only without the deco charm.

Oh.

Yes, that was completely baffling. Because it makes no sense and there's no way to figure out where the hell it came from.

They replaced it with a mature Big Car rear soon after, but it's kind of clunky and not nearly as cool. Cute Fordesque fins though.
