Bathing suits? We just used Fun-Sacks — at least, that's what Uncle Walter called them after he emptied the chicken feed out of them. They're so versatile!

Wire Hanger was so much fun! Although I don't remember my cousin liking it so much the last time we played it, though — she just seemed relieved later on and mumbled something about "that damned rubber" and ran to the bathroom. We haven't played it since, as all the silly yelling from those Westboro people outside the…

"Marsha" Brady?

*sigh* One my favorite cars... Holden's one-off Efijy. IIRC, a number of customers begged Holden to make a limited-run of these beauties, but Holden refused.

The blue wire with a white stripe. Not the black wire with a yellow stripe.

Hey Sam, d'you think you could convince R&T to let you and Krewson go on a couple of road trips with old cars and write about it? I still have that article you wrote about the DS Decapotable, and re-read it every time I need a smile or two. :)

So which F1 track would Rainbow road be, then? Monaco, because if you screw up even a little you're toast? Or perhaps Bahrain, because it's built out in the middle of f**king nowhere, and no amount of pretty lights will distract from the fact that you hate dealing with it?

I love how sleek the Catalinas look without all the bubbles and turrets on them. They're really graceful.

The Convair XFY-1 Pogo was a pretty strange vehicle — unfortunately, the inability for the pilot to see where s/he was landing rather stymied its development.

Excellent. Mazda made a big investment in SkyActiv, so it makes good sense to get as much benefit out of it. Plus as MrQuick stated, SkyActiv is the kind of tech all their vehicles need to be moar awesumer.

Congratulations on your promotion, Peter! I've always loved your slightly-offbeat-but-ever-fascinating posts (your article on the Amur springs to mind in particular.) And of course, your Crayola-renditions of F1 will be sorely missed ("Jensen? Are you listening? Lalala... :D ")

Given the strategic placement of the hat in his hand, I'd venture to guess that he also helps extend his modesty and good manners to the more bombastic team engineers.

True, but did he fix the car with a zip-tie and a couple of pages of the owner's manual, so we can forgive him for the wreck.

While Giorgetto Guigiaro is one of my favorites, I'll steer from the obvious and nominate the greatest car designer who never actually designed a car.

4.85. Just below the average (which sums my math skills up well, I guess.)

Paris Hilton. Even when she's not crashing, she's still causing grief to cars.

They bent Rod's Pikes Peak Tacoma? That gives me a sad.

So many beautiful Traction Avants. I can hear ShantJ fainting from here.

I'm currently fixated on the Corvair Monza coupe. My desire for a nice 2nd-gen model is bordering on obsession at this point. So lovely.
