Still Going...
While out and about the other day I happened across my car's older sibling...
At the time I thought the aero on the late Fox body Mustang GT was a little overwrought. My opinion has mellowed with time, although the cheese grater taillight louvers are still a bit much.

Automotif DCXXII...
I was absolutely tickled to spot this very clean and straight Austin-Healey Sprite out and about. This would be a 1959-1961 model, and the color is Colorado Red.
This was from back when sports cars were very tiny. As an illustration of how tiny, the Sprite Mark II was a little bigger, and you can see how it's dwarfed by a Subaru Outback in this photo. (And an Outback itself is not a monstrously large automobile.)

Tab Clearing...
- Juanma has a really neat, lavishly illustrated, in-depth look at a car show in the Netherlands.
- Forget the "Great Man Theory of History" and instead consider the "Mediocre Man Theory of History".
- Funky vehicles in the presidential motorcade in China. Anti-drone vehicles? Some sort of SIGINT thing?

How very Teutonic.
"Klaus, what if we made something that resulted in the same outcome as an airbag, but it had a whole bunch of moving parts and also effectively totals the car when it goes off?"
