Probably Liquid Ice

Eh, my cousin has owned his since high school and keeps it immaculate. Over 200,000 miles on it now, and its still his commuter car in the DC suburbs. Had it stripped down to the bare metal and repainted a few years ago, and I believe at least the driver’s seat has been reupholstered. 

How terrible does your life have to be for a fast food sandwich to be worth getting into a fight over? It just really puts things in perspective, some people really have it bad. 

I didn’t click, but which duke? Better not have been Windsor, never really a fan of that guy.

Has to be Nissan's Pike cars, particularly the Pao and Figaro. They shared too few parts with the Micra and were intentionally built in too few numbers to ever pay back their development costs, were designed for a niche market so obscure it probably couldn't be accurately researched, and didn't do anything…

Yes, but not those ones, I prefer Round House personally.

I always get a kick out of the scale they used in these old ads. “Hey, I’m concerned that our car might not be big enough as-is, can you paint the people really tiny so the car looks even more enormous?"

Maybe because Henry Ford II was kind of a dick and thought paying off Krupp would mean losing face to a smaller company (in an automotive context, Friedrich Krupp was a pretty big company otherwise)?

Same thing with removing the passive head restraints for in-car filming.

Just say a wizard did it.

What do you expect? Bond Bugs were never known for weather protection.

I dont get that either - they had the extra money to spend making it into a faux cable stayed bridge with a mostly ornamental tower, but they couldn’t spend on extra analysis? Maybe build a plainer, simpler truss bridge that’s less pretty but still does the job if the budget was that tight. 

The fact that it isn’t a hatch probably means the edge of the trunk lid against the rear windscreen is covered with shiny black plastic to blend it into the glass. I expect that will look awkward in person, like the c-pillar on the 2015-17 Camry, or the c-pillar on the Jaguar XJ. 

Good lord, that is a rough 33. In the meantime, I’m 34 and get carded every damn time I order a beer or buy a ticked for an R-rated movie. 

To be fair, accurate math is really a lot to expect from a university with a respected engineering department specializing in bridge construction.

Thats the butler's job anyway, he's in charge of the household staff.

Well, someone like that could conceivably have a second home in New York, to be close to the financial markets in the city.

Well, that's a little further than I'd take it. But, I'd say that movies and TV have combined with social media to create an expectation that these things need to be overly showy, extravagant, and dramatic. 

I blame asinine romantic comedies, the same things that ruined weddings and engagements.

I just finally got around to depositing a giant canvas mint bag of pennies that had been building up for the past 10 years, so I've mainly been thinking of copper as a thin plating layer over a zinc wafer that costs 7/10 of a cent more than its face value to manufacture and isn't really worth my time to deal with.
