I wonder how safety regulations are handled on a car with no “front” seat. What about the airbag requirements? Side and curtain only?

Either case would sew up my next purchase.

From a bottle that fits in a koozie.

Yes, I realized my mistake as soon as I stepped outside and saw a boxy second-gen in front of my office. First-gen Escape.

Front grille says second-gen Ford Escape to me.

I agree, but I’ve heard an even better idea out there: LeVar Burton.

That Genesis script makes it look cheap. The winged badge would have been better there.

So, how is Star Trek Online these days?

I’m surprised by the lack of Subarus on there (besides the Forester). There are tons of older models on the road but I rarely see them on used lots.

Imagine pulling up next to a feeble F-250 in your amazing F-1000. That’s 750 more, baby!

I have this in my 2014 Mazda3 and I haven’t noticed more than a 1 MPG advantage over my friend who has a Mazda3 without i-ELOOP. Batteries cost an arm and a leg, though, and as far as I’m aware there are no third-party (Interstate, Die Hard, etc) versions available.

You say good looking, I say bland. I liked the “big rig” look and wish they stayed with a version of that. Bland is way better than rotten Camaro maw, though.

So when is Chevy going to fire the design team?

If you continue with these puns, I’m going to issue an Altimatum.

I saw it offered at my dealer’s service department a few years ago. Apparently people opt for it when buying a new car. Not sure why it seems to be mostly Hyundais in my area, though.

My next car is likely to be electric. I don’t know that I trust used batteries yet, so that’s an automatic “new” purchase. I wonder how the market will shift as electrics become more and more popular.

I’ve always liked the look of the restyled Tempo for some reason. I have a soft spot for those late 80s aero models.

I was going to suggest the Top Gear method--name it after someone who does something cool in that corner. That means a bunch of numbers at first, but after a few years hopefully you’ll get some memorable names.

Any chance they can license the Brabham name to go with that fan?

Honda was doing the turn signal camera thing, but only for the right side and displaying on the infotainment screen. I think they stopped doing it because nobody gave a shit.
