Susano Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Re: "Neat" Pictures You mean this one? We had one of those back in the day. The engine was under the driver's seat. Fun to drive, but thank God we never rear-ended anyone, as there was nothing between the front seats and the next car ahead except a flimsy foam dashboard and a huge windshield. That's it!

Edsel Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Re: "Neat" Pictures Huh' date=' I knew a guy in high school with two Corvairs.[/quote'] My father used to rebuild them. My first two cars were Corvairs. My dad owned over 40 at one time. They were excellent cars. Very stable on the road and handled well. Tests done years after the model was discontinued showed they were very safe automobiles and do not deserve the mis-representation they got.

Fun to drive, but thank God we never rear-ended anyone, as there was nothing between the front seats and the next car ahead except a flimsy foam dashboard and a huge windshield. If by "Enterprise" you mean The Original Series Enterprise, then yeah. It looks the same shape as the boxy shuttlecrafts they had. There was a van/minivan a while back (I'm thinking late 90's) where the (big) windshield and hood were a uniform slope (most vehicles have the hood at a lower slope than the windshield), and the taillights were mounted vertically on either side of the rear door/hatch. But I can't for the life of me remember the make or the model. But that one looked like a Next-Gen shuttle or spaceship IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Windstar was close (the Aerostar was too boxy IMO), but Ternaugh got it right with the Trans Sport. Though the Oldsmobile Silouette was a very close second place. ... And the Chevy Lumina APV as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcan Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Re: "Neat" Pictures Doesn't Lion + Human = Sphynx? Depends on who's mythology you're looking at. Of course, to properly do the Manticore, you'd also need an overlap with Bat and either Scorpion (for a stinger on the tail) or Porcupine (for spikes). So perhaps you're right on this one - or at least more right than the original writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkdguy Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Re: "Neat" Pictures I just noticed one mistake. Cockatrice (aka basilisk) = snake + rooster, not snake + eagle, as is shown in the chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
