I thought they were the same guy all along.

Probably true.

mikedrawcar commented on Which Dead US Automotive Nameplates Should Remain Buried?

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 19:16:57 EDT

Laser would actually be kinda funny to see on a new car, so that stays.

I'm gonna say XR4Ti, because it makes no sense, and I blame it for
A) encouraging American automakers to go w/ alphanumerics
B) tandem spoilers recently popularized on rice rockets
and
C)being the most likely to return because of the popularity of alphanumerics

I'm just pissed I'll miss it in my first year in Detroit. Living ON WOODWARD.

Please inform me of other cruises/car shows though. I always hear about them after the fact, but can't seem to find any info online or anything.

@UDMan: Pleased to make your acquaintance, Mr. U.D. Man.

I am Teritius Fortune, of the Fortunas tribe of New Jersey. I come to you with excitable news of a most rather important feature to be revealed. My father, a one Meritius Fortune, has recently passed, leaving a certain sum of one million United States dollars ($100,000,0000,000) bequeth to his relatives. Unfortunately, due to the failure of his bank and lack of heretofore housing, I am unable to relinquish this amount. I would kindly ask for your greatest assistance in recovering this through a deposit of $200,000 for a new sports car, and would repay, soonest, including a 41% interest in the time I require your monies and development of the Fortune sports car.

Many thanks,

T.F.

mikedrawcar commented on Ten Worst Things Automakers Do To Make Their Cars Seem Cheap

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:10:44 EDT

@tenbeers: good one

I'm not sure if there's a top one in this category- my top two are the multi-color seats that were famous in the 80's and 90's, and the gray-plastic cladding.

In defense of #7, I thought it was decent campaign- at the very least, they were right. Obviously people stripped the thing of the coins in a short amount of time, so uh, yeah, they were desperate for pennies.

"They may be able to do it in a public space. But not in anyone's home."

Is it just me, or is there something wrong with this statement? Sounds like they should just do it in the middle of the street in front of the house. You know, where they won't bother anyone else.
