If you smack this stupid plastic cover with a hammer, it will fall off and leave you with just the slim contact that will be compatible with more cases. I've done this for both of my Amazon lightning cables otherwise they wouldn't work with my wife's Lifeproof case.

Where have I seen that gaping mouth before? Hmm...
Stop, you're going to make everyone cry... *sniffle*
Anthony Bourdain?!
Formula... Understeer?
Case in point: on Friday morning, I hit a construction barrel. Seriously. I'm cruising along, driving at a normal pace, when a guy in a Chevy Silverado with New Jersey plates – their drivers are the worst – pulls out in front of me and begins moving at the speed of televised golf. So I did what any member of the…

Yup, and it out-performed a BMW M5 in the slalom at the time due to the sticky Michelin PSS's.

The 1999 Honda Insight had the shape profile 4 years before the Prius did (2003). The first Prius was an ugly blob:
Yeah, even if its small fixes they make a difference. My 2014 FR-S had the knee pads on the sides of the footwells and it made it a lot more comfortable as a daily driver. I also didn't have the "crickets" noise issue under the hood.
I wouldn't buy a first model year car... I'd let them work the kinks out first. I've heard a lot of groans first hand about first year new Camaros and Toyobaru twins. Wait and see what the forums show about early issues and fixes.
To prove my point, let's go back to a time when people got really excited about concept cars. It was the 1950s and 1960s, when concept cars were all the rage. What happened back then was, you'd see a concept car at a show, or in the news, or on TV, and you'd get all excited. "Gall-dangit!" you'd exclaim, as your…
