    I maintain that it needed a "meep-meep" horn, giant wing, and fiberglass nose with pop-up headlamps.

    Thanks, Ray, for the follow-up from yesterday on the kind of asshat moves we are in favor of. I think I get it now!

    @PetroSapien: reading back over that, it may have come off a bit harsh. For the record, it was meant in jest, and I apologise if I have offended.

    The beauty part is that amidst the razzing of the GEM, they praised the website. I'd call that a net plus.

    ...as they sped up the isles to the next press conference faster than anyone else.


    What happened? Did you take the good seats since you got there first? Does AutoInsane suffer from a case of wheelchair envy?


    It will be interesting to see how many people show up next year with golf carts, GEMs, and electric scooters. I have a picture in my head of the melee that will ensue and its not pretty.

    Negative attention is better than no attention at all. As a ex-coworker used to say "I'd rather be praised than punished but I'd rather be punished than ignored."

    Seems like the dignified way for him to get out of the Elise would be to just leave the door closed and hop out '60s Batman style.


    There is actually a way to get in and out of those things with a modicum of dignity. Getting in it goes Ass -> Shoulders -> Head -> Rotate -> Knees together -> Pivot knees in -> Pull feet in together. Reverse when getting out, you're still going to have to lift yourself up and out with your arms but at least you aren't flailing and stumbling all over yourself.
