There's only about one car that can pull of the eyelashes and it came from the factory that way.

Don't be a bigot. Just because cars came out of the factory a certain way, doesn't mean that's what they really are inside.

I saw the most odd thing on my drive into work this morning. It was a Hyundai with really odd vinyl graphics on the bottom. I had my suspicions and after a cursory Google search I found out that it is an actual thing. Yes. The Walking Dead edition of a bland Sport Crossover UV. The only thing spiraling downwards in value more than this car is TWD viewership. I take more satisfaction in that than I care to admit. If you want to know more about this heinous crime against humanity then you can read up here

a few pages back but this is just an electric auto-rickshaw/tuktuk... and if they could make them cheap enough, it might actually help the pollution in Indian cities if electric rickshaws could replace those little 2-stroke jobs they have now.

Well their website is pretty useless: http://e-motionconcepts.com.au/ But it looks like a Renault Twizy type of thing with a different layout, which is what, 10k? Even if it's half the price, I don't see them replacing the 2-stroke pollution monsters or even normal subcompact cars for that matter.

I don't recall exactly when we stopped watching, but it took a while before my wife agreed with me, that they killed off characters because the writers were not ever developing a plot.

To be fair it's largely following the comics, and its never-ending cycle of people dying, then meeting new people, lends itself pretty well to comics which don't have to end. I was surprised it was made into a show since most shows eventually get endings, but I guess if they're still making money more power to them. When I first saw that Hyundai though I just assumed Hyundai either paid them or donated cars for the show because it was just to out of place to be random. Best car product placement was I think the second or third season of 24, where the 2 hour premiere was brought to you exclusively by Ford. Where all the good guys drove Explorers, Excursions and a Thunderbird while the terrorists all had DaeWoos.

The comics are in a state of general malaise right now. Kirkman needs to stick a fork in them by issue 200. All I know is, that if I want to drive a car with a mix of 85/15 ethanol that is around 7 years old...a Hyundai is my choice

Fringe season (I think) 2, where they take 5 minutes out of an episode to discuss the Nissan Leaf they're driving.

First time I saw it was in Heroes, when the dorky dad bought his high school daughter a Versa or something. Since then it's been everywhere. So many conversations interrupted by a description of lane assist.
