When I get a Porsche 911 like that I’ll skip the plebian Prestone and opt for premium coolants only:

I have a better (worse?) theory: the Cars universe exists entirely in the head of a terminally ill, probably wheelchair-bound child. Poor kid is wasting away in a hospital bed somewhere dreaming of a more exciting world where everything is on wheels just like he is.

Still, it’s kind of like how the Titanic didn’t get enough lifeboats installed because the right number would imply that they expected it to sink.

I dunno, the windshield is a pretty good indicator of corners intact.

Is that... is that a factory-installed fire extinguisher under the driver’s seat? That can’t be a good sign...

I don’t feel like a tool at all. In fact, this is how I feel looking at the plebes around me as I put a convertible top down:

Better expand that study to the last 150 years, I bet some of the early tinkerers were doing more or less what you propose.

I wouldn’t be too quick to judge the aerodynamics, don’t forget that the VW Type 2 (van) has a lower Cd than the Type 1 (beetle).

They’re in the TN Museum of Aviation. Not just the right kind, THE engines removed from this jet. Congrats on your pending purchase.

I got all weak in the knees thinking it was a Mechanix Illustrated Speedball Special:

It’s like a CRX from some alternate universe year 2000. I’d like to move to that universe, will I have to grow a goatee first?

Getting the language right is the most important debate of all. Blow that and your law could be unenforceable.

So, like, when do we see the FWD Mustang?

Somebody fetch me a copy of Auto Trader and my sawzall. I have some coupes to roadsterize...

I always seem to trip and spill the sample while looking for the collection drum.

Plot twist: this whole project has been sponsored by Ford and planned to fail from the start.

What if it’s viral marketing for a movie? The next Cloverfield? Another X-Men? Wolverine has had like 46 crappy origin stories, maybe it’s Storm’s turn now.

IIRC Blackberry (technically RIM) was great at security, which seems to be what the new generation of car electronics needs, and a total inability to adapt to changing markets, which American automakers excel at.
