“But these days, nobody engineers non-critical parts like that. Plastic bits by your spec would be huge and therefore more expensive.”

The guy should realize that it’s his size that’s the problem. I actually understand what Hyundai is trying to say. If you’re an overweight person, you sometimes rotate both legs out the car first and then stand up. In doing so, your meaty thighs might put extra weight on those trim pieces.

A story from a service manager I used to work for...

Look, Hyundai, if you want to sell cars in America (the USA) you going to have to build them for ‘Americans’. Not give us that flimsy ‘Just for California’ shit. And throw in a few more cup holders!!

It’s also not clear just what Hyundai is getting at when they’re describing how Joey exits the car

By that logic, America didn’t have racial segregation because only the Southern states were segregated.

woahhhh I can’t wait for wagons to be popular again. I never thought about that

The real question is how can we make the minivan “cool”,so that people will realize the functionality of them? Perhaps more aggressive truck like styling?

Yeah but if it’s Jimmy’s Buick-GMC-Cadillac, as it often is, then it makes a little more sense. A lot of these stores are small town multi brand dealerships.

My wife cares very little about cars, but she swears she will never, ever buy a minivan. So we have a CR-V. And there’s your market.

The Pockar is what I imagine an Aerostar larva would look like. If Aerostars reproduced by laying eggs. And hatched into little van maggots.

Thank you. This piece was waaay too simplistic. Damage and burn risk are dictated by distance, warhead yield (not even discussed), topology and dumb luck, like happening to be standing behind a wall or building that shields you from the initial radiation/heat pulse.

Anyone who grew up in the 70's (early 80's?) or earlier already knows this. It’s the stuff my childhood nightmares were made of!

“We had to stop production of the Dart because it was selling so many models that we couldn’t keep up with demand and it wasn’t fair for other car companies.”

Stop everything they’re doing, have Marchionne meet with an “accident”, build cars people want.

There is still a lot to not agree with. Truthfully, having watched NASCAR in the 1980's, and seeing the progression, all I really want to see is relatively stock cars from each manufacturer race again. I don’t care if they are merely only 380 to 400 HP motors, I want to see it be a competition from both a racer/team…

Between the fact that I find this all confusing and nonsensical and the whole “yellows beget yellows” phenomenon,

I’ve got a great idea for a new racing series! Now I know this is a little bit crazy and not what we’re used to, but hear me out, you guys might like it...What if we have a series where points are awarded to the top finishers in each race and the driver with the most points at the end of the season wins the…

Disney’s Mulan is literally my favorite movie of all time (it is not the best movie of all time; it’s not particularly popular; objectively its story structure is a mess; I suspect if I encountered it for the first time today, I’d find Eddie Murphy’s performance cringetastic - nonetheless, favorite). On the one hand su…
