"My NSX is full of eels."
"It's a trap!" Switzerland is not known for light regulation of anything, let alone vehicle modifications.
I have no idea how this got approved, except perhaps that there was no OEM equivalent or OEM specification for woodstoves in a Volvo, so no need for a certificate of conformity?
"There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games." - this may actually be a combination of all 3.
Cripes, I still have mine from the 80s except when my daughter steals it.
I believe this heralds the return of the Voyager III. The front half becomes a Valiant, and the back half, well, stays a minivan but doesn't go anywhere.
2) 'Excessive brake pedal travel' on a Subaru - does that mean you have to actually push it through the floor rather than just *think* it needs to be pushed through the floor?
Not quite - while there is a slight amount of helium in the atmosphere we get it from trapped deposits underground. Once in the air it's so light that it escapes the atmosphere and cannot be recovered.
CP even it was owned by Harlan Ellison himself.

Yep! And there's some really interesting work being done now with Kinect and Kinect-like devices, among others. Still, the optics may win the engineering choice for a long time - projectors use a much smaller active display than a whole windshield, the breakable windshield doesn't contain an expensive live display, and the projector is parallax-free without extra hardware and software.
In the near term there is really cool work going on with wearable displays (glasses) that include position sensors, etc, to allow for pretty wild overlays on the real world - like these, about $1k retail in the next six months: [www.engadget.com]

The optics do something that a flat display can't, presenting an image superimposed on the real world that's right regardless of the viewer's head position: [en.wikipedia.org]
For which your heirs and estate will be charged for fire fighting, rescue costs, track repairs and revenue lost to track closure. Salute!
Spotcheck Billy got down on his hands & knees
He said "Hey momma, hey let me check your oil alright?"
She said "No, no honey, not tonite,
Comeback Monday, yeah you comeback Tuesday, then I might."

Bless you for your clarity. This is exactly right - since you can't stuff 5 kids in the back of a sedan anymore people assume you must have an SUV or minivan, when really they're just buying the 5% solution.
Related, when in Germany last week I saw small trailers being towed by all manner of cars that aren't even listed with a towing capacity here. 95% of the time you don't need to haul a bulky thing, so why buy the minivan or truck when a nice little aluminum trailer will do (yeah, they're probably a zillion euros).

Those Bren gun carriers mounted a .303 LMG that's more or less M249ish.
In reality they were much more professional, but no better prepared:

Sure, the trucks can go underwater. But the crew might want to be at least as well prepared if they're going to ford without regard to depth. My NJNG friends tell me this was a case of numnutsitis.
You speak my mind, sir - I was digging the weirdness up to that point.
Michelotti, yes. Triumph, yes, but not GT6.
The Triumph Stag wrapped a beautiful body around the Siren-like promise of an OHC V8.
Underneath? You will never find a more wretched hive of mechanical scum and villainy.

Hats off to you, Snapoversteer, a story well told.
However, did your roommate talk to the power engineering profs or something? T-bird/Cougar taillight sequencer has been a frosh/sophmore EE circuits class homework project probably since the 555 timer chip came out in 1971. Or maybe you're a *really* old guy :-)
