It’s kind of odd that for a company as influential as NSU was, they have no real modern identity. They were pioneers of Wankel engines and once made little rear-engined Prinz cars that were quite popular, but when they got absorbed into VW in 1969, their identity kind of disappeared. Auto-Union/Audi got swallowed by VW, too, but they got to keep an identity. What gives, VW?

Also, the wheels on that Sport Prinz are adorably tiny.

I'm Sorry To Say That Bonkers Tweet About The Big Rig Driver Who Looks Like Amy Schumer Is A Joke
It’s possible you may have noticed that comedian Amy Schumer was trending on twitter today, something I’m not sure I’d ordinarily even notice, but the reason for it was something special: that featured a big rig driver that looked uncannily like Amy Schumer, only with a goofily vulgar T-shirt,...

Blip: This Is Where The People Go
I’m not exactly sure why this old Subaru Sambar ad needed to show where the driver sits—there’s pretty much no other possible place it could be, or another position they could be in. Were they clearing up a rumor that to drive these, you sat on your knees and...
