I think a car that tells you what you're doing wrong rather than just doing the same beeping for everything is a good idea in theory, but having experienced a talking car I found some...flaws in practice. Some of the phrasing, like your example—who ever uses the word "ajar"? And repeatedly saying whatever just like…

Was there more than one dragster Isetta with the cab at the front? I'm only aware of the one Bruce Weiner had built based on Hot Wheels Whatta Drag, which has the rag top (though it looks like the Hot Wheels it's based on doesn't). But I agree it would be a bad idea to actually race it, though I don't know that it has…
Oops, 15%, not 1.5%, but still–no jams, 8.5 car length gaps for everyone. Also forgot number of lanes and a bunch of other factors that could reduce correctness of my calculations.
These statistics made me curious about traffic jam likelihood and severity, and a perhaps less useful bit of information: ratio of total vehicle length to total road length (i.e., if all of the cars were on the road at the same time, how much of it would they take up).
Good point, and to elaborate, the > redirect only writes standard out (stdout) to the file, standard error (stderr) still goes to screen (On POSIX systems; does DOS/Windows have stderr?). 2> file will write stderr to file, but usually doesn't work for the same file as the > stdout redirect. 2>&1 redirects stderr into…
Agreed; I've thought it should have been their sports/race badge, i.e. motorcycles and performance cars.
That's a pretty bad place to leave it. Could get hit by a streetcar. It looks like there's a parking spot right there—just pull in.

Something like that.

The Golf-based Caddy is pretty cool. I really like the Bus-based Single Cabs. Big flat bed (with fold-down sides) on a little truck.
What I want is this Multipla Jolly pickup.
I think they're saving that name for the 24th installment. Or the 247th.
They had three wheels as sold in England and four wheels as sold elsewhere.
There are DOT approved half helmets. Crazy, right?
The Messerschmitt is Kabinenroller, not Kabinroller. I've only seen H-M-Vehicles abbreviated as HMV, though I suppose HM works too. I think the Velorex bodywork was vinyl, not leather.
"Usually die quietly" seems to be accurate, but not precise: there's the unmentioned unusual cases: some three wheelers are still in production (though don't sell in high volumes or even get much publicity), like the Meyers NmG (formerly the Corbin Sparrow), and some are available as reproduction kits, like the…
