But your last statement makes it sound awesome... It's hideous though.

Not nearly as ugly as the front end of it, assuming we're talking about the 2017 model. When I was buying a Camry a couple of weeks ago, I couldn't help but make a couple of wisecracks about the thing as it was sitting there in the showroom looking at me, within earshot of a young homosexual couple who were there looking at it.

Do you know how hard it is to visibly raise the ire of a car salesman while you're in the process of buying a car from him? I managed to pull it off.

Honestly, I assumed the damn thing was a Scion when I first saw it.

I hope you're happy with yourself now.

Yours truly would still use jackstands under it because it looks flimsy. If using jackstands then might as well use a jack.

I'd love an actually decent scissor-jack in my garage.

Christopher Schrader

In this photo are three structural nodes, intended to hold cables above a road in The Hague. The difference is the node on the far left was designed by a human, and on the far right by a computer. More importantly, the node on the far right supports the same weight, but weighs 75% less and is 50% smaller. It makes you think where design and aesthetics will shift toward, in a future where computers design our world.

*unhappy with Tieline tables*
*gives up, deletes Tieline tables*
*clicks "Create new table", enters "Tieline" in name field*

I don't care for the p.note style in their CSS.

EDIT: That laziness looks like straight text not a style. Some software guy wrote that not a TW.

It's from a PDF document which I doubt originated in HTML: Gate Keeper | Grass Valley, a Belden Brand
