Are you refering to the 1998 Multipla as first generation? It was itself a revival, at least in name (of the 1956-1965 Fiat 600 Multipla). I have to wonder what drugs (and I'm guessing multiple—a cocktail if you will) the whole of Fiat was on when that design was created, then proposed, then approved, then…

I like and agree with your points but let me reiterate and rephrase one—a manual's throttle response is more predictable because the driver controls both of the most important inputs, while with an automatic the driver merely suggests the general value for one and the car guesses what a certain type of driver would…

Thanks for identifying that car. While the rear detail is neat, I think your side picture gives a better sense of the car. Just some well meaning nitpicking, though: Iso designed the Isetta but wasn't the only company to manufacture it; so did VELAM, Romi, and BMW.

Not the only any more. There's been a case of a DVI-VGA adapter that, when a pin got bent, was bending the pins of computers connected to it such that they would bend the pins of other DVI-VGA adapters in the same way as the first, similarly spreading bent pins.

No cable cars were harmed in the making of this film.

Yes you did. It's a manual sequential. It operates only as such.

Perhaps a wagon based on the Smart Coupe instead?

The P50 wasn't an attempt at a station wagon based on the Trident?

YES. ALL OF THEM.

I use over-ear studio-style monitors/headphones with large oblong cups so that they don't press too much on my ears, even when walking around with a portable device. Much more comfortable than (cheap) earbuds or on-the-ear headphones, though higher-end in-ear (especially custom fitted) monitors could be even more…

I thought it was possible to get in-ears with an isolation hole/plug you can open when you want to hear the outside world. You might want to try looking for those. I guess another option would be microphones, like a combination binaural mics & in-ear monitors; you could mute or reduce the volume on the mic(s) when you…

It looks like this is basically a low resolution display, so it should be possible to show or animate directional arrows or movement for the turn signals. Another possibility would be to have an always-illuminated red "tail light" in the middle (that gets brighter for a brake light) so that turn signals will be to one…

I think anyone who has watched enough SNL was thinking the same thing as soon as they found out about gTLDs. But it looks like nobody has yet applied for it. Perhaps someone should do a Kickstarter campaign to create the .fart registrar? How much of a market is there for domain names that are NOT clownpenis.fart?

Oh, that's been done too. Mr Jones Design Katazukue.

It's been abducted—by aliens!

The ridge may have similar ergonomic problems as those described in that article, but that was about typical pillion (passenger) seat design, particularly on motorcycles based on race bikes with pillion accommodation as a checkbox get-it-to-market afterthought.

I didn't see it at first either, but it's in the title, "Home Soda Fountain Dispenser".

There's no I in Teamocil, at least not where you'd think.

You mean televised/popular/national American racing? There's quite a variety of events going on in the USA but they don't get nearly the attention that NASCAR does. Even MotoGP, if you can get to the track for the day/weekend of the race, and New Jersey is supposed to be getting a Formula One track. As for televised,…
