    Wait! Did you know that there's a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity? Think about it.

    @GitEmSteveDave'sAPeacefulMandalorian...:

    Indeed. In my neighborhood, we're going on 45 years now of ever-spiraling gang warfare, with the inner radius Hypotrochoids drawn in deadly turf battles against the outer radius Epitrochoids.

    Talks to unify all gangs as HasBro's have only gone in circles.

    (Sorry it took me so long, GitEm, I was asleep at the wheel.)

    (And by wheel *clears throat* I do not mean Apple's fabled new product.)

    I dont know the details, but in my hood, this would get ripped off the garage so fast that I would still be paying the credit card bill before I would even get to enjoy it. There better be some kind of locking mechanism on there beside a piece of velcro.

    The beach scene reminds me of some kid-friendly app from Windows 3.11. No clue what it was, just had a lever to change themes from space to jungle and other 8-bit themes like that. Sigh, the past.

    @TeriyakiChicken: For a second I thought it might've actually been Bob. Fortunately, I found out what it was before I rethought my entire childhood: Packard Bell Navigator, specifically the "Ark Kidspace." A few screenshots here: http://toastytech.com/guis/pbnav352.html

    Yup. Our good ol' Packard Bell from the early 90's had everything. Taught me how to count with the Berenstain Bears, plumb on a tight schedule, and avoid giant insects/robots while looking for keys and chips.

    @My Secret Identity: Sad indeed.

    I was slumped over my keyboard, numb to my self worth and the rest of the world. I stared with a blank expression at a bottle of pills in my right hand as a tear raced down my cheek and graced the now half emtpy bottle of vodka.

    The emptiness I felt was like a bottomless pit and I searched my soul for a reason-- a glimmer of hope.

    And that's when it happened! I looked at my name on the screen, saw that shiny little star and I had a cold, harsh dose of reality: DAMN CHILDPROOF CAP IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN!

    In reply to The Personal Sky Garage
    The garage is half outdoors open to the air. That's how the FDNY allowed it. The video is a sales tool and does not show the actual approved design. It's got low walls and it's concrete is built to keep a bad or drunk driver from going over the side or through it.


    Having said that I still think this is an awful idea. One can never overestimate the stupidity of people.

    @odobo: it looked like they designed it so you wouldn't have to back up, entry is made by pulling in, then exit is made by driving forward to the 'exit' elevator, and then driving forward on the way out of the ground floor...good for traffic flow.

    i guess that question could only be answered by you. if you have the skills, i don't know why you couldn't. it's a lot better out there now, than when the bradley GT was one of your only choices. you can get a kit for just about anything that has ever caught your eye now.

    @godwhacker: I really don't have the skills, but the purpose of building one would be the learning experience (and my brother has the skills to help me)... I've looked at the Cobra kit cars, and think that would be neat. I'm just wondering how safe they are... Or maybe I could be a stretch limo kit car with a theater in the back and get the best of both worlds.
