Interesting that Mazda is still clinging to the rotary, even in the face of it basically being considered a meme engine due to how unreliable and difficult they are to own. 

Neat, but is this a Miata? Seems more like an upmarket RX-7 to me. Gotta think it’s going to be $40K plus and generate limited sales, and our fun, simple little tossable MX-5 will be a thing of the past.

Let the horsepower wars and alternative fuels combine!!

Literally every car from the Mad Max franchise. I want a V8 Interceptor. Or a car that’s three or four other cars smooshed together.

Crazy answer: A triple diesel engine pickup truck with a 6 inch lift installed at the factory. I mean, the EPA’s going to get a gut punch, too, so might as well make a FerdRamChev F-Teenthousand Denali with a 6.7 Power Stroke up front, a 6.6 Duramax in the middle, and a 6.7 Cummins bringing up the rear.

If I can’t get a Suzuki Jimny, what even was the point of destroying the American experiment?

Non-Jalop answer: I would love to see a unification of safety codes between the EU, Japan, Korea and the US. This way, if Toyota makes too many Kei vehicles for their market, they can export some to America cheaply and sell them here. It would allow for enthusiasts to special order stuff like Alpines or the like and…

My favorite ocean liner will forever be the Normandie (I’m a sucker for any Streamline Moderne design), and her untimely and mostly unnecessary demise was a great tragedy, so now seeing the SS United States about to be w…

Hey look, it’s a video by our friend, Mike Brady, from Oceanliner Designs!

Hawkeye : did you take his pulse?

No lights, no siren, no special privileges.

$100,000 is for damages. The rest is for his pain and suffering. (Also, it’s a starting point for negotiation. Never start at the point you want to end at, and typically these lawsuits are capped at just under a million, so they usually start at just under a million.)

People will call the Bronco Ugly and somehow find this thing attractive.

It’s truly a sight to behold. They tried to turn it into a museum for years. It’s sad they couldn’t get the funding for it.

yes, it is indeed a good business model.

That’s going to give my company’s marketing team some ideas.

I had a campus meal plan one year during uni many, many moons ago, and can guarantee cockroaches would have been an improvement over much of what was on offer in the main cafeteria

You know how many roaches are too many to count?
