Doug sold his douchemobile:

That looks mighty intentional. Who would shoot a car on purpose?

My theory is the red car was trying to prevent the grey Civic from pulling in between him and the truck in the left lane. Either that or the red car was trying to be a dick to the truck in the left lane by slowing down in front of him, basically giving him the proverbial finger for camping out in the left lane.

Hoboken, no jokin':

It was, let's say, a good enough solution for GM. They didn't bother to work all the kinks out.

Exactly, it's not going to take up anymore room than a rear-engine setup would. If anything, it give them more space to clean up the airflow before it hits the rear diffuser. With the engine in the rear they only have a few inches between where the engine ends and the under-car air exits. With a mid-engine they…

With all the suggestions below I think we've come to conclusion that Tavarish was flat wrong. Any car is perfectly fine to purchase in it's base trim. In fact, maybe we should have a contest about which 5 cars you shouldn't buy the base model of. I can't rightly think of any at the moment...

While searching for the manufacturer of the head unit I did run across a few Android run versions. Pretty nifty, but probably a too complicated for me.

TV remotes are an example where I would NOT want AA battery sizes and am thankful for AAA size...

Now that you mention it, the steering wheel does look at least slightly similar to VAG "sport" steering wheels:

It is nearly the same that's in my VW Golf. It's actually a nice unit, why do you think it's cheap? VW doesn't actually make the headunit. They source it from an external vendor.

Nearly the same head unit that is in my VW Golf! It's a nice unit, I'll allow it.

Is this the diesel version with the Cummins V8? Are they still gonna do that?

Nobody can own an idea?! You know that's the entire basis of our patent system, right?

Bottles and cans, just clap your hands?

You can most certainly patent designs, and that's exactly what Lego did many years ago. As another commenter has posted it seems that the patent has run out. However some Google searching is showing that Lego still actively fights their copyrights on the blocks.

The worst part was that the gauge wasn't even that accurate. Once it got down to a quarter tank you were pretty much empty...

Here's the cluster from my first car, 1990 Jeep Cherokee, 5 speed manual. Also no tach:

Does that speedo go up to 140MPH? Ford might have been a little ambitious don't you think?

I could see attachments for the little yellow hands. Varying diameters could get in there pretty easily. However, if you make a range of blocks that fit perfectly into actual Lego pieces wouldn't you be infringing on some patents?
