Phil asking "what's that ugly car?" lead to my musing about the most underappreciated automotive engineers. The guys who made the cabin quiet on the Lexus
with gold rims and shaking windows cruising the 'hood. The folks who tune the suspension on a Cadillac
. I don't know why I'm exposing myself as this horrible stereotyper except that I felt like I needed a bit of an intro to this fascinating article on the culture of "Sideshows" in Oakland.
