Sort of, the priests at the cathedral did fire inspections of the attic several times a day. But there was a lot more activity going on up there recently with the renovations, so there certainly is a chance something happened in between checks. 

The 5mph bumper standard has been gone for almost 40 years now. 

Aren't they kind of also part of the respiratory system?

Maybe GM is planning a whole Bolt Family of EVs? They could even do some creepy commercials with a giant person made out of Bolts. 

Bill Mitchell’s loving homage to the 1936 Cord 810, a very early and flawlessly executed example of retro design. 

Well, it is a little over 17 feet long, which makes it shorter than a Town Car and longer than a Challenger, but that image is not to scale. Advertising art in the 1950s and 1960s often exaggerated the size of the car in proportion to the people, to make already generously sized vehicles look even more enormous. 

You mean like that guy named Anthony Michael Hall who stole my car stereo?

I wouldn’t be surprised if he wakes up, and Malory says something about while he was gone, the Figgis Agency has gone bankrupt due to everyone spending so much time visiting him in hospital instead of working. Pam questions what the hell they’re supposed to do for work, and Malory says something to the effect that…

I’m willing to bet he didn’t even serve the pizza on a tin plate.

When he bought it, he pointed out that there was a block of wood wedged between the frame and the body on one side, I don’t know if he removed it or not (though his comments seemed to suggest he wanted it gone). That might indicate a prior owner’s attempt to correct the leaning. 

I’ve been passed by Amish buggies a number of times - they have their own lane on the shoulder, so when traffic is stop and go, they just keep going. 

The sliding doors are way too practical to make it on a production version, unless its purely for Asian markets, where luxury minivans are a thing. 

All I know is, if the current ForFour were sold here, there’d be one in the garage right now. Not joking.

Look how derpy Homer looks with his eyes pointing in different directions. The old animation style was almost as important to the humor of classic Simpsons as the writing.

I suppose that explains why Japan’s obesity rate has reached nearly 1 in 20 now. 

Smart didn’t yet really have a practical EV drivetrain at the time the Tesla Roadster came out (and, at 58 miles range, I wouldn’t say they exactly have one now). 

Airfares are still half of what they were 40 years ago, in constant current dollars.

Im perfectly fine with not reclining, it’s the partial undressing and unpacking of the briefcase to get through security that I have a problem with.

If you're one of the many who shops purely by lowest ticket price, then, yes, yes it is. Pay less, get less. 

If customers stopped shopping tickets based purely on lowest possible price, this wouldn't even be an issue. Everyone wants to get where they're going for the absolute rock-bottom price they can get, then complain that the experience isn't as comfortable and enjoyable as it was back in 1979. If comfort, service, and…
