5 is a Lancia Stratos

I'm not saying I can't hold it in for half an hour (I can hold it in for hours as I'm averse to public washrooms anyway), but, if I'm sealed in a capsule that I can't leave with other passengers, especially the elderly, children, and anyone with a medical condition, I'd want them to have a sanitary option should the

I don't think it matters how short the trip is, unless it's roller coaster short. Someone's gonna need to go during the trip and accidents will happen if there is not a toilet on board. It's not the same as a city bus or a car where you can, you know, get off before you reach your destination if you can't wait that

As the UCLA students imagine it, a passenger would arrive at a station and drop her luggage off with a Kiva robot (the kind Amazon uses in its warehouse). She would pass through security on what seems to be a moving sidewalk going under a metal detector, an idea that sounds tricky when you consider how often people in

I don't have a picture, but, a little over a decade ago, there was an anti-drunk driving campaign in Quebec where the somewhat clunky English translation was "Don't let your friends drink and drive. INSIST." with "INSIST" in large red letters. I get what they were trying to go for ("Insist they don't drink and

Bah, if I was a master of the universe and money was no object, I'd rather have this super yacht with a Monaco-inspired kart track and choose my own supercars to park inside.

I liked "Paul McCartney is still relevant, look, this music video has video game stuff" better when it was called "Ou-est le soileil?" (1989)

Yep, the 550 Maranello is the exact Ferrari I'd buy if I ever came into money and, by choice, I'd rather have it in a colour that's not red. Steel blue would be my ideal choice, although I don't think that's an official colour for the car and I'd rather not have it repainted if it doesn't need to be, but green,

Does the XBox 360 version require you to be always connected to the Internet to play even in single-player mode? I want to play this, disappointing as I'm sure the X360 version will be compared to the next gen consoles or PC, but my X360 isn't even connected to the Internet. (My puppy chewed the Internet wire to the

For driving games released this Christmas season, I'd be interested in THE CREW were it not for that darned online-only requirement. I'm only interested in playing solo anyway, and my XBox 360 doesn't even have an Internet connection. (And, yes, due to lack of new console money, I would be playing the XBox 360 version

Yeah, I agree. My comments were more in response to the first lot of photos, where it still had pop-up headlights.

I was a tween/young teen in the OUT RUN/Testarossa era, so, if I'm thinking of a Ferrari in a videogame, the Testarossa is what I think of first, however, the F355 is an easy number 2 due to being featured in the other Sega/Yu Suzuki Ferrari game, F355 CHALLENGE (which I own on both Dreamcast and PS2), which, aside

Hmm, I usually don't like it when spoilers are added to cars without them, but that one looks kind of cool. It's too race-specs for my tastes overall (I'll forego the lightweightness for some interior comfort, besides, if I'm in the car, it ain't lightweight, heh), but I'd take the spoiler. I mean, I wouldn't add a

I like the F355 and I prefer the Berlinetta (hardtop) to the convertible, and I like Ferraris in colors besides red (and I also like them in red). My one reservation here (besides not having ~$40K... coffcofforadriverslicenseatage40coff) is that it's black. My ideal F355 would probably be green or blue, although it

What about a biopic of Joseph Ganz, the Jewish engineer considered by many to be the true creator of the most iconic and enduring automobile body design in history, the Volkswagen Beetle. Ganz's designs were allegedly copied by Ferdinand Porsche and Ganz's automobile magazine was shut down by the Gestapo days after

I tried to find video of the Nurburgring 3 game on Youtube to see how it compares to Sega's TURBO (1981) or Namco's POLE POSITION (1983) but since the name of the game is the name of a track used in many games, it's practically impossible to narrow it down.

The Ferrari 400 and 412 (the one shown here is a 412). It still has the proper Ferrari and Pininfarina badging but it in no way matches what the average person thinks what a Ferrari should look like, especially when it's not red. (I think it looks much better in blue anyhow.)

I prefer the relatively stock-looking (aside from the scanner & interior, obviously) 1982 original version of KITT without the added muscle lights nor the array of circular tail lights, but that's a fantastic build by Jennifer Catano and I appreciate the passion involved in making it.

All railguns should sound like Japanese voice actress Rina Satou as Mikoto Misaka, the titular "Railgun" of A CERTAIN SCIENTIFIC RAILGUN (To Aru Kagaku no RAILGUN).

I wish Citroen would license Hot Wheels designer Jun Imai's design for a modern Citroen DS homage, called, naturally, "Avant Garde", from Mattel. This is a design that needs to exist in a scale larger than 1/64, even just as a concept car.
