I should point out there were a couple Th!nk electrics by me. There’s a left hand 90 degree turn needed to get on the highway, and every snowstorm, I’d find one gently spinning on it’s tailgate as it tried to make it, failed, and skidded off the road. Smarts, while not electric, have the same low center of gravity and…

The Forester was designed to be something between a car and a SUV. It presages the crossover but it’s more a ‘tall wagon’ in the beginning.

You know, I don’t mind the Aztek look. I think it looks better than many modern crossovers.

Hey, the 914 is a heck of a car in the -6 form. Tossable, raceable, incredible handling. It’s a slow-car-fast kind of car, but it could destroy things at autocrosses. 

In the day, that was just how you made a hotrod.

I got my co-workers to see Office Space once. Including my boss and her boss.

I have been harassing people about this for years. Glad to see this happening.

The only disagreement I have here is that I would have given Yugi a Honda City Turbo for the _extra_ spiky bits. (and strapped the motocompo on the roof)

I dunno bout tuning it - I just feel it deserved to be on the list as the  harbinger of the 4s replacing 6s and 6s replacing 8s trend that spread across the industry. 

I can dig it, but I couldn’t find a better name for it, and the ‘killer app’ was the ‘stang version. 

That sounds fantastic. Better than the calzone with pineapple I used to get. 

True fact: I was the first ‘gamer’ to eat a Hot Pocket. My father was involved in the market research for a number of food products at the time and we got supplies to test out. (Other things: Soft Scrub, Hershey’s Kisses with Almonds.)

Yeah, I honestly have to wonder how the mustang gaskets wound up on that production line. But it didn’t eat gaskets in the Mustang, and as I said, it was the leader for fours replacing sixes in cars, which I think is important.

... okay, you’re missing at least two: The Mustang 4 Cylinder Ecoboost (as also seen in the Focus RS)

I don’t know if it’s big enough to turn around - but it’s big enough to keep full employment while the company retrenches, it literally uses all of their best features, it can sell through the same dealers without messing their current branding, and it can sell to the existing clientele as well as new ones. You could…

I got bored and figured out a trike that you could convert with those bolt-on tracks and a front ski. 

What color is the sky in your world? I mean, what _is_ an untuned TV set anymore?

Well, I can give you one reason right now: sunk cost. The majors have software and engineering tools designed to understand the stresses on a conventional IC frame, and that’s a big reason they’re sticking with fairly traditional designs under the skin - clean sheet requires clean toolsets and that’s a few…

Hey, that’s my area! You never really know what you’ll find around here - saw an Aceca the other day when it was 70 midwinter and everyone dragged everything out of the garage. 

Just be sure there isn’t a bollard, planter, or other item under your front wheels or juuust off to the right side.
