This just in from our reporter in India.

@Fodderthesane: Hmmm. You may be right.

@luisthebeast: Bolt-on FTW!

@nick2ny: ... and fewer A-pillars.

@Jagvar: I'm waiting until they release the R-type.

@Spiegel Hernandez, Doctor.: You should put that back in your clipboard until Toyota releases a jet...

I don't care who ya are, that's funny right there.

@mrwoolery: You may think so, but I just got off the phone with Shinoo Mapleton at Sector 111. He is the California distributor for Ariel. Here are the facts as I collected in our conversation...

@McMike: *Volvo Truck!*

@Metalface Eagle: He looks happy!
