You made me look again, and now it bothers the hell out of me that the front wheel is so off-center of the wheel well. Or, is it turned to the right? I sure hope so. If not, it provides a wonderful illustration of QA @ GM-and gives lie to the sign below it

Multiple appendices will only serve to provide additional material for reading

Fess up, now: you wrote this entire article just so you could use that final sentence, didn’t you?

A star for you: few people have the gumption to come back and say, ‘aight, gimme that damn crow’

So, why are you on this thread? I generally just scroll past stuff I don’t care for rather than posting my disappointment that it exists

Mystery solved, I believe. Someone posted in the Automotive Fun Facts thread that the Fiat 600 had the choke and starter between the seats

2CV on the ‘ring? Trabant as well?

An AI doesn’t have the fallible human body to distract it, is >always< monitoring all inputs, and has way better reaction time.

Last year I avoided mashing a little car in my company truck b/c I saw leaves swirling ahead, moved over, and braced for the coming wind gust. I idly posited on here that it would be some years before AI could match millions of years of predator/prey evolution giving us intuition. I was hung, drawn, and quartered in…

Nice!

In fact, last time I drove it ( on an isolated, low-population dead-end road ), it veered toward a bank deep in 3rd. I still cringe over that: I…

Then I have no idea. VW did it because they needed a straight run for the cables actuating the flaps controlling airflow in the boxes around the manifolds. Heater core would ( presumably?) be up front, so...  Unless there's still a cable to a flow valve out back?

Target demographic, not the actual machine, then. That makes better sense. Thanks

I bet you’re right. Rear-engined & air cooled, right? That’s exactly where the original Beetle’s heater controls are. The didn't look nearly that cool, tho

That's feckin' weird and I absolutely love it. Thanks for posting it!

Yay: playtime!

What makes you say that? Are they targeting ageing wanna-be-outlaw dentists? Isn’t Harley still using some sort of steam engine or something? Article states these are DOHC >and< (gasp!) fuel-injected.
