Yes, it is scary that the Chinese have better knowledge of US car history than we do.

People like open floor plan houses and flat floor cars have the same inviting feel. They are not really more useful but it is lovely to stretch out your legs.

My neighbor had an SP250. I always like the old angry catfish.

“impact the design”   Ha ha ha

Your first product won’t be perfect but it will be on the market which allows you to learn,…

In the late Jurassic period, dinosaurs had developed optics and had begun to scan the heavens. One day, a Brontosaurus exclaimed, “Damn, that incoming asteroid is blocking my view.”

The ICE MINI is not light. The EV MINI is even heavier. Just because there are bigger pigs, doesn’t make it not a pig.

New GMG tactic.
Lead with a giant error in the first paragraph.
Everyone slams you in the comments.
Count all that interaction toward ad rates.
