Truth, kids are awesome, their upkeep is not.

I went to Mercer University in Macon, GA 2001-2005. The University owns a Mercer Raceabout. I believe it gets driven to the local events it attends, too, but always by one of the old stalwart professors — students were never allowed to drive the thing.

...and the friggin' thing wears it's SC right up front. It's like a porn star walking about with his 12" of meat hanging out of his unzipped pants...

You'd be better served by a cast-off police Charger, then, wouldn't you?

It won't be all that different, really.

I'm sure it will be offered chassis cab — that's too big of a market to ignore, one that can only partially be taken over by the superdudy chassis cab.

Eh, I was just going with what's found on the majority of vehicles over the years. Reverse on top-left was a Germanic thing until the past few years.

Robert Heinlein. Dean of Science Fiction. If you claim to love sci-fi and have not read any of his work (watching Starship Troopers doesn't count), your education is lacking. Many of the themes and norms pervasive in science fiction started with him.

An afternoon and a few dozen cans of flat black rustoleum would be a good start.

Moving sidewalk-cities, as described in Heinlein's The Roads Must Roll.

Eventually it became a halfway decent, pretty good looking sorta-sporty coupe, but initially? Yeah, way too cool name for that car.

In which case, why not put it under the umbrella of "GM vs. Ford" as has been suggested by other commenters?

How about the Baja 1000 F-150 that competed with an off-the line, very well broken in 3.5L ecoboost V6?

Holden is Australia's Chevy — so it's covered in #1.

COULDN'T! COULDN'T! COULDN'T! COULDN'T!

I'll say it — I'd buy a Corolla if I could get the N47 diesel in it.

Glad to have been of service.
