@thatguy01: Okay, major points for using both "bindlestiffs" and "Hooverville" correctly, combined, in context. Been reading Steinbeck or something?

@graverobber- Two BEER minimum:

I'll take your 72-month lease the day you match it week for week with a bumper-to-bumper warranty. And provide gap insurance.

So... are the offering adjustable-rate mortgages for these?

@Elhigh: Well played.

@CptSevere: I went to USU and drove those roads. You are right on.

Get that chicken a helmet — it's Team Gonzo.

@FuzzyPlushroom: Hey, don't underestimate the 3.8 - that's a decent engine, and my girlfriend's GTP has some power. That 3.8 is decently torquey, and gonna be reliable. Maybe the most reliable thing in the low-rider. Certainly more so than the last guy's air set-up.

@Mike the Dog: Those big, round headlights — suggestive? should this car be discussed in the currently-ongoing "gay car blog" thread? Semi-erotic overtones on the front end?

I heard that Tata had acquired the rights to the Tucker marque... Although that third headlight poses a bit of a problem.

If anybody has a right to do this, MB does. And I was set to like it. But it's a cue that I'm not sure fits on this particular design. This car has no sense of retro or common design language with an old gull-wing - it just doesn't connect. MB should do this, but maybe not on this model. Besides, look at the liftover…

@v8corvairpickup: No, it is an Econoline - you're thinking of the A100 Dodge vans. Very similar, but note the headlights:

Scenario: Me, young and stupid, under the hood of my 49 Plymouth trying to start it. Dad, on the phone from the Oregon Coast, giving advice.

Daimler/Jag might be the perfect company to help Tata deal with the problem of the Compressed Air car's noise level, which is reportedly loud.

Proof positive that the above X-ray was intended for public broadcast and consumption:

If that Amazon really does vent the exhaust in straight stacks through the hood, I really, really, want.

@mmr: Welcome! I like your choice of Jalopnik name. "MMR" is an eligibility category for education that I apply to cognitively impaired kids in my job as a school psychologist.

@Dearthair the Totally Uncreative: Bull Shiite?
