Id feel awkward enough about being in the pilot's space to begin with, I'd almost be afraid to make even a move without being told first. 

This plane is clearly defective, I suggest you return it to the manufacturer at once. There is no charge for my discovering of the problem.

Its all the much worse designs that have come later that make it seem not so bad in retrospect.

Yes, and it also needs to be based on a sports or GT car, or at least have some sort of sporting pretensions. This is just an ordinary 2-door estate, not a shooting brake. 

Its about proportions and balance, an elongated hood just looks right, makes the car look leaner and more athletic. Economy cars are all about space efficiency and easy parking and other utilitarian considerations, with style further down on the list. A Karma is an expensive car, it needs to look the part. 

So, basically, something more like this is what you’re after?

Its for aesthetics. Long hood/short deck are classical proportions that just look right. 

I always wonder that about animal shelters that give dogs and cats names - I mean, if you don’t know their name, obviously you have to, but they often rename animals that already have a name on an old collar or something. Why not just stick with what they already have? Give the thing at least some measure of…

Shit, I was there at about age 21. What does that say about me as a human?

Most likely its this. They’ll respond to their name if and when they damn well feel like it. 

I hear he commands a quack wegion.

OMG, that is freaking gorgeous. If that had a Lancia badge on the front, it would be worth 10x more. 

Hell, I'm no scientician, I just asked the question. 

Well, I mean it does seem like practically everything causes cancer these days.

I’m guessing the side straps mean elastic expanders in the waistband so you don’t need belt loops. I’ve had a couple of suits done that way, but I think it would look odd without a jacket. 

Nah, it will be called either the Bronco Sport or the Bronco Connect.

IIRC, Delta Shuttle was the Eastern Airlines Shuttle, Delta purchased the operation from Pan Am, who had previously acquired it from Eastern. 

There's two extremes though, you also have drivers that will veer into oncoming traffic in the opposite lane to give the bicyclist peacefully riding in the plenty wide enough and clearly marked bike lane even more room. Bikes are no wider than people, you stay in your lane, they stay in theirs, everyone's fine.

Well, the regulation was put in place in 1940, before NHTSA existed, and at the time, sealed beams really were an improvement over the older lighting systems used in 1938 and earlier cars, so it seemed like a wise move. But, it was written in a way that blocked out all potential innovation, and was later further codifi…

They weren’t exactly what you’d call “volume” automakers.
