Oh God, is this where the whole ‘participation trophy’ thing started from?

Huh, this may actually be a case where investing in 3D printing may be useful. While there will always be some failure points that are quite large and/or require materials that can’t be 3D-printed—leather armrests, seat cushions, headliners, etc.—for a lot of little things, especially buttons/knobs, and even some…

OK, horrible idea, but it DID give me a better idea for how to put more cupholders in my NB

I remember the guys at Janus Motorcycles saying something similar when they were having problems with their Norton-derived frame. Turns out, Norton had the same problem in the 50s! Good point.

Loved seeing a few at Radwood Detroit. I never knew they had sway bars both underneath the car AND inside the trunk until one owner showed me

That’s actually a really fascinating design, though I imagine the shorter barrels probably kick like a rabid mule

Fair point, though that usually implies a regression in society as well.

YES. YES, YES, YES.

If I’d had to fly that plane in such a way:

N-foils locked in attack position

The Truck that can be named is not The Eternal Truck

Saw a few at Radwood Detroit this weekend—the OZ wheels just add that extra oomph. The drifting-in-the-downpour photos are incredible.

...I have another idea for modding my NB.

If someone could mock-up or 3D-print something I could put in my NB Miata’s ashtray space to work as a cupholder, I’d be forever grateful

I can’t help feeling as if the Asian brands price & design the features in their vehicles with the notion that buyers should be getting a good experience--e.g., safe driving--regardless of their buy-in point, whereas the American brands are just trying to upsell you on something.

I suggest “Icy Hot”

This to me is actually very sad. In a way, the 500 Abarth kind of symbolizes my foray into car enthusiast-dom.

Dear Honda, re: e

Discovery is on rotation right now in my car. Going to add the Tron: Legacy soundtrack back in. I need to get the remix album, too...

I love stuff like this. Preservation of technology for historical & educational purposes is important, of course, but improving usability and enjoyment is just as important, if not more so. Props to the engineers, fabricators, and mechanics for keeping the looks while making it easier to run.
