Second that. What a great post!

I'll take this opportunity to share a similar story about the time I asked my Grandpa about the glue factory he worked in after the War. "How many people worked at Peter Cooper?" I asked. Without hesitation, as if waiting to answer this question all his life, he answered: "About half."
He went on to describe how guys…

Exactly what I thought of. Saw this DN-01 regularly in the parking lot near my old office. It was really unsightly. Especially in plan view - if you take away the fairing, it's just a cruiser bike with a weird front-center.

2017 Cayman GTS, I reckon.

Modern cars have extremely complicated hardtops that can open in a few seconds, but the idea itself is nothing new. Peugeot introduced it in the 601 Éclipse six years before Hitler started his invasion of France.

And HVAC vents!

This concept is so freakin' unsafe and distracting - are they serious? Does Germany celebrate April Fools Day early?
Am I going to get my hand stuck in the motorized steering wheel, or the motorized cupholder at 110 mph on autopilot? Terrifying.
Also, the "Minority Report"-style menu navigation? Totally absurd. That…

That's it's own new version of terror, isn't it?
To me, I have been wondering if some terror group developed a sophisticated way to make a plane "disappear". They sit back and watch the world turn itself upside down for a week (or longer) while the hostages are being held in a secured space.

The administration plans to award the contact by late August, but it's not open to everyone — the contract is limited to "Major Domestic U.S Automobile Manufacturers, who have their primary headquarters located in the United States of America." I wonder if that can even include Fiat-Chrysler anymore?

But it must also fit in the plane that transports it.

It bugs me that the front door handle is ~20' from horizontal.

Came looking for a James Garner reference....

There were a lot of "BM's" in that video.

Whenever I see these, I think "Ford Taurus". Especially in silver.

This is excellent news in our cause to keep the Juke weird. Audi may be the best example of this, but Nissan isn't far behind in its ability to make its sedans and crossovers practically indistinguishable from each other. And that's fine, as long as there are at least a couple cars in the lineup that show a company…

Slightly odd that it's not given 4MATIC badging…. Audi uses the Quattro name regardless of which AWD system they use.

Regardless, this is good news following on the VW Multivan concept from yesterday. Truck yeah.

Insert the obligatory "Kill it with fire" GIF here.
