I saw it on 270 traveling north near Roberts road. Not everyday you get to see a 3 wheeled car traveling on the interstate. From behind it looked like a box shaped Suzuki, but once you look at the front of the car with no wheelbase, it was kind of like WTF? It looked like a death trap.

I like the looks. It seems to be somewhat influenced from the Italian marque Ferrari. Sharing similar lines with the front engine marque cars from the maker, i.e. 550, 575, GTO, etc. The increase in stiffness, 60/50 weight distribution, and use of carbon fiber and aluminum will pay huge dividends. The 50% increase in stiffness combined with a lighter weight leads me to think the handling will move more toward the responsiveness found in European cars.
The tail lights don't bother me, I can see the similarities to the Camaro, but they grew on me pretty quick. Given everything that GM has been through with the economic downturn, I am glad they decided to mix it up.

How do you make the algorithms better, sell more adds, make customers happy?
Up the speed at which you can surf.....

very cool, so much planning, attention to detail and process to pull that off.

More info: Looks like they used low range on a fairly stock truck..... No big deal for the Yota as it could tow anything for 100 yards?
More detail here with the engineers and needing roughly 400 ft/lbs torque to get the job done.

New Toyota Tundra commercial states truck pulls 150,00 pound space shuttle. How low was the gear in that truck rated @ 381 hp to pull the shuttle.
On another note, great advertising on Toyota's part. Not everyday the opportunity arises to pull a part of history....

Thanks!

Would love to rock that thing as a commuter on my 3 mile commute. Is there any way to lock it up? (i.e., chain, bike lock?)

Is a 6sp in this model somewhat rare? I know there are a ton of autos out there but could you advertise the 6sp as a unique quality that is not found everyday.
A quick search on autotrader revealed there were 20 cars for sale nationally that were manual a6's btw model years '99 to '01.
Highest Price:$10,999
Lowest Price:$3,998
Average Price:$7,168

Anyone have a link to this? My dad puchased a '12 2500 GMC and I would like to fwd along the information.

Overall I thought this one was pretty lame. I think it did spin off a bunch of sound bites that both sides will use over the next 14 days.
Thought it was also ironic that O made fun of the tv attack ads, I wonder if he knows that he is running the majority of them, especially in OH?

"Instant Classic"
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this…The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing
The fifth would pay $1
The sixth would pay $3
The seventh would pay $7
The eighth would pay $12
The ninth would pay $18
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59
So, that’s what they decided to do.
The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve ball.
“Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20″. Drinks for the ten men would now cost just $80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men ? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?
The bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by a higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.
And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving).
The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% saving).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% saving).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% saving).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% saving).
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings.
“I only got a dollar out of the $20 saving,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,”but he got $10!”
“Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!”
“That’s true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back, when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!”
“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison, “we didn’t get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!”
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

That thing looks great, such a timeless design.

Obama is much more engaged this time around, which is good. However his command of the economic issues is certainly lacking. It seems as though he is fixated on expenses when that is only part of the conversation. What is missing from Obama's logic is that he is overlooking top line growth in the overall equation.
A great question for Romney would be. "What do you assume GDP would grow at as you cut taxes and reduce the deficit?" If the answer is above 3-4%, then something is flawed.

Anna's tailoring on the SE corner of Riverside and Cambridge, she usually turns stuff in 3 days or less on a normal basis, even faster by request.

Congratulations and good luck in the new role. Always good to see someone put the customer first! I will be looking you up at TD.

ummmm M5 does big burnout and gets beat to 100 after gaining no traction out of the hole.
Not taking anything away from that Tesla it's impressive just not my bag.
With ~400+ lbs of torque at 1rpm it makes me think the Tesla was not a WOT launch. With that being said, the turbos on the M5 seem to wind up pretty quick.

Fuck, whyd they have to pull the video already.
Probably part of the condition to purchase the car from the owner.

LOL Did I just hear Ryan say "I Recieved SOCIAL SECURITY survivorship benefits TO GO TO COLLEGE"?!! So Ryan was part of the 47% sponging of the government? LOL
I don't think the 47% was a shot at people who have had run into difficult times, it was a shot at the people who have done little to improve their situation over a long period of time. Ryan did go to school and he is probably not sponging off of government subsidies other than the great benefits members of the government get.

Noticed that as well, I wonder if it has to do with the number of frames per sec the video was shot in (in no way am I an expert on videos).
