Funniest thing I read all day
Nowhere among the credits ascribed to the talented group of influential designers profiled (Dec 2010 issue of Automobile Magazine article "They Draw, We Drive") did I find any reference to the marque that dominated almost twenty percent of that same issue's editorial content. A marque whose cars' very shape characterize speed, whose corporate profits are apparently too embarrasingly large to publish, and that has redefined the SUV "hockey mom brat bus" and, most recently, the family sedan. As I had suspected, Porsches must be designed by God!

Archie finally got Betty to go out on a date, and his jalopy broke down
I was curious what Archie drove, so I dug out the old 1965 copy a friend gave me years ago.

Canadian colonization advertising vehicle... looking like a streetcar on a truck chassis
Seems the big wide open plains of the Candian west needed farmers, and they used this to spread the word. Just study that box of a body and let me know if it's anything but a one off single purpose built vehicle

suspension takes a lot of abuse, here to demonstrate, a crash test dummy. Behind him is the demo of how well suspension smooths the ride for passenger
The whole gallery of wacky racers after the link
see the gallery of them at http://autozine.com.br/inusitados/trazendo-um-cartoon-para-a-realidade-corrida-maluca Bigger hammer theory in practice, the building of Trabant cars in the 1980's
Skip the first 22 seconds, it's boring, after that they get to hammering for proper fitment
If you haven't heard of the bigger hammer theory, you aren't a submariner or a mechanic. The theory is this; if it doesn't work, hit it with a hammer (known in scientific circles as mechanical agitation (thank you XO Joachim) ) if it doesn't work after hitting it with a hammer, hit it with a bigger hammer. If it still doesn't work, replace it... it's broke.
