I don’t know, every time I try to use that thing at Lowe’s to check a bolt, there are just enough threads that when it stops threading in you’re left wondering, “is this the right one and it bottomed out or did it just jam because it’s cross-threaded?”

School bus boneyards are about to get a lot more interesting...

Virtua Racing was always a bit of a minor disappointment to me.

I just leave a four year old in the back seat at all times, duh.

Cltuch, brake & gas were all potentiometers - no on/off switches. The steering wheel had a giant electric motor behind it for force feedback and could yank the wheel out of your hand if you weren’t paying attention.

Sounds totally badass. Adding to my list.

Are you kidding, it’s already in his driveway.

I didn’t have a good instinctual sense on this one so I came to the comments to feel it out. I think my questions have been answered. 

Henceforth known as the Mustang ThunderCougarFalconBird now.

This poor Boxster is less than the sum of its parts.

They were fired, not because of the “no more cars” plan but because they didn’t boldly take it far enough:

This looks like it could be a lot of fun. A 3 row convertible? Come on!?

That Mikado interior has my squealing like a schoolgirl...
