That Honda is not really a ‘retro’ design. The only ‘retro’ features it has at all are the round headlights and pseudo-dogdish hubcaps. It’s basically just another kei car ... cute, yes, stylish, sure, but not in the same design theory as the retro vehicles Afroman was pointing out.

Nice ... pay attention sweetpea ... HUNDREDS of lives in the US due to TRUcK (heavy duty, i.e., “semis”) accidents.

From what I’ve read on that subject, your statement is incorrect in it’s simplicity. What I mean by that is that you and others are referring to “automated braking” which implies the car will perform ordinary necessary braking maneuvers without driver input.

Agree. I personally cannot get my head around this ... this ... practice? of people taking their fucking dogs with them everywhere they go ... especially small dogs, doubly especially roaming free in the car instead of locked up, and triply especially when the frickin driver holds the dog in their lap while driving! I…

I’d prefer the dead/injured people. Seriously. In no way shape or form to I subscribe to that tired and trite nonsense that “first priority is to save lives”. Unmitigated utterly irrational and functionally insane bullshit.

Pretty much every non-premium brand is like that. The Korean, Japanese, and American non-premium brands all put obviously cheap accouterments on their base models. Do you remember Saturn? Back in the 90's, they had one of the least expensive cars you could buy. Their base sedan model came in various colors, and all of…

Diet is only half the battle ... sounds like you got that under control. Don’t let your self-consciousness hold you back from going to the gym ... if you’re surrounded by ‘fashionably fit’ people just keep telling yourself that is what you are going to look like. Use that image as motivation.

Ford <snip> haven’t been investing in cars much at all for the last decade.

Why on earth would you buy a new car every 2 years????

many agree works finer?

Love the OG banana seat. My first bike (appx 1970 or so) was an off-brand Stingray-ripoff ... but had all the classic looks: beefy squared off “drag” rear tire, long & lean banana seat and a 3-ft sissy bar, high-rise handlebars.

is /DRIVE (slash drive) the same thing as THE drive (tripdub thedrive.com)?

Why, dear god OH WHY do gawker media bloggers frickin LINK to twitpics instead of just frickin embedding the picture (or at least posting a screenshot of the twitpic) in the article page?

Does anybody else feel that those two guys up there are absolutely terrible at presentation? The whole bobbing and weaving and extemporaneous dialog sounded more like a grade schooler doing a verbal book report than anything even remotely professional, let alone interesting. Jeezus, people, write a frickin script for…

Are you being sarcastic or attempting some kind of irony with that phrase “shortage of tech workers”?

Small cars are generally cheaper too, and take up less space Not everyone can afford a giant SUV or a giant parking space.

Brilliant.

Cute video.
