you know I've been meaning to ask, how are you supposed to be able to enlarge the avatar photo, if for example I wanted to look at an avatar in full screen, I have no idea how to do that

I don't think you can as they are probably re-sized to what you see in the Avatar.

Take your own Avatar photo.

I don't know what size you uploaded but below is your Avatar photo and it's properties, showing it as an 80 x 60 PNG image file.

It's now a car that only a mother could love... but with a daft engine...

Well done for taking it on, Chris. You're a brave man!

Oh, and if you need the name of a good plastic surgeon, I'm sure someone on here can help.;D

"What do you mean he can't adjust the brakes...."

Watch the video. Every time Leno hits the brakes hard,he LOCKS the fronts till he stops. The bias is off. All 4 wheels should brake together,and equally bring the car to a halt. If the fronts are locked...so should the backs. That car is NOT stopping to its potential adjusted like that. I suppose it is probably safer?  I don't know...I can't stand a car that locks it's front brakes well before the rears. It just does not feel...balanced.  They said there was a bias adjuster..that is why I made the comment.You better believe I would have been spinning that knob to get things proper. :tu:

Jay Leno says "Porsh", not "Por-sha".  I guess he's entitled without losing car-guy-cred.  :)

This was apparently the factory demonstrator:

Another Leno perk - call up virtually any specialty car shop and say, "hey, mind if I try out your product."

One downside of the body design (other than subjective opinion of aesthetics) is the obscuring of the suspension.  Maybe I'm wrong, but the cutout "windows" over the shocks seem more for the benefit of passers-by than for the driver.  A big attraction of the minimalist Atom philosophy for me is the promise of observing both the left and right front suspension in action.

What do you mean he can't adjust the brakes....it has a brake bias adjuster same as the atom....what did you mean by that.....me confused

As much as I would like to warm up to the Derondo...I hate the look of  the car. Enzo is flipping in his grave: Ferrari nose? Um...no.  The back end is ultra- ugly. The sides are...ugly bulges of stuff. The nose is hideous! Even the interior just says yucko to me.  I do love the engine/transaxle...but a car is so much more than what powers it.  Why can't Leno adjust the brake bias? $100k?  I wish you all the best of luck.

Maybe call it the swan?

I just realized what the car reminded me of.... I did love that show!    http://video.aol.com/video-detail/sting ... IDURVENT03

I do love the integrated turn signals into the wheel, if it's self canceling too that's awesome
