A rumble seat made a good car a little better. So does a rear door. 1931 Model A Roadster. 1972 Pinto Runabout shown with optional white sidewall tires, rocker panel molding and accent group. When you make a solid, sensible, economical little car you don't change it. Except to make it better. Now that we're making that kind of car again, that's the only kind of change we're going to make. For example, we've made a Runabout model of the Ford Pinto. It has a rear door the basic Pinto doesn't have. And rear seats that fold down for extra cargo space that's five feet long. Everything else is the same. A gutsy little engine that gets the same economical kind of gas mileage as the little imports. A solid-as-a-rock four speed transmission. Sports car steering. A welded steel body with six coats of paint. Pinto is wide and stable, but not big. It's got plenty of leg and shoulder room, but it's barely 11/2 inches longer than the leading import. There you have it. The basic Pinto: a good little car. Our Pinto Runabout: a little better, good little car. See them at your Ford dealer's.
When you get back to basics, you get back to Ford. FORD PINTO FORD DIVISION

Como os Estados Unidos resolveriam o problema das favelas do Rio de Janeiro

Um jornalista brasileiro entrevista um general americano, e pergunta o que ele faria se fosse chamado para invadir uma favela do Rio de Janeiro para combater criminosos.

O general começou dizendo que cercaria toda favela e em uma hora o problema seria resolvido e explica:

- Primeiramente, eu utilizaria helicópteros de combate com fogo total, utilizando misseis e metralhadoras, eliminando pessoas que estivessem portando armas, bem como as edificações que estivessem dando abrigo a atiradores ou servindo como quartéis.

Michigan impõe taxas de licenciamento mais caras para veículos elétricos e híbridos porque eles consomem menos combustível

A partir de 2017, proprietários de veículos híbridos e elétricos registrados no Estado de Michigan, Estados Unidos, terão que desembolsar mais dinheiro para manterem seus carros legalizados para condução em vias públicas.

Isto porque o Estado de Michigan resolveu taxar mais os carros com estes tipos de motorização. A ideia surgiu pois estes veículos consomem menos gasolina, e como usam as mesmas estradas que os carros com motores à combustão simples, não geram o mesmo retorno em impostos para o governo.

After 20 years we finally got it right. The Volkswagen Vanagon 1981.

Don't get us wrong we got it right 20 years ago. Even then our big Volkswagen was still the most revolutionary wagon of its time. it could carry about twice as much as the average &lotion wagon. On fy one small problem: Some people thought it wos funny iooking. Bock to the drawing boads. Over the years we came up with a modern, °era:Is/et body. We also mode the windows bigger. The doors bigger, The interior bigger. And more =bitable The dash more dashing. me engine more energetic. Arxi the suspension more sophisticated which led Carond Driver nisogozine to say: what we hove here is the Porsche 911 of vans. The vbnagon goes down the rood with a car like assurance that never exited in vehcles of this type before: In short, there isn't a nut or even a bolt that we haven't refined or redesigned since we produced our vintage '61 Bus. So, In every way, we think that cur '81 Vanagon is the most beautiful big Bus we've ever produced. Alas, one small problem: Some people still think it5 funny looking.
