    Every chassis gets a body

    Sedan or coupé

    So we'll build an all-steel body

    In a colour gay

    @Replying as a troll: I always described that pronunciation as "turkwise". And yes, that YTMND is quite familiar to me. Try listening to the "gif' of Koo'Laid" audio clip on loop sometime.


    My bus driver is black. He says "urnge". I was amazed.

    Nowadays with the unions there'd have to be 3 or 4 other cars standing around while one car builds itself.

    In reply to 1939: When Chryslers Assembled Themselves
    Okay I have a number of questions in no particular order:


    How is it that the engine runs when it's not greased and lubed?

    Since when did car bodies engulf full steering wheels?

    I'm assuming lumbar and arch support were non existent in the 30's?

    Did it creep anyone out as much as me when the guy started singing "and the engine hum hum hums"?

    Why does the tire tube have a giant zit?

    And how is it that a car that knows how to build itself doesn't know how to do it more quickly?


    Surely at this rate of speed in Chrysler factories, in the 30's, they would produce, at 8 minutes per car, assuming they were to get one done every 8 minutes, on a 12 hour day, that would mean that 315,360 would be mad every year. And with the stories my grandfather tells me about how he was living on corn nuts and oatmeal ration tickets in the late 30's, this would seem to be out of most peoples reach, correct?


    iDrive? How about iBuildMyself.

    @stoke has a JDM banana: It reminds me of one of my 11th grade advanced placement U.S. history teacher's many schticks. He would be holding an object (textbook, rubber spatula, etc.) and rapidly move it toward an unsuspecting student's face whilst uttering, "3D, ooh scary!"


    Needless to say, he's one of the favorite teachers from my scholastic career.
