Welcome to The Morning Dump, bite-sized stories corralled into a single article for your morning perusal. If your morning coffee’s working a little too well, pull up a throne and have a gander at the best of the rest of yesterday. Quantron Announces Massive New Hydrogen Trucks Hydrogen’s been experiencing a bit of a rebirth in recent months. From the hydrogen hybrid Hyundai N Vision 74 to news of a hydrogen-powered BMW X5, this renewed interest in fuel cells should make up for some of the shortcomings of batteries....

Do you allow a lone tear acknowledging the aching beauty to track silently down your cheek? Do you gasp, a deep, ragged gasp of near-erotic pleasure? Do you find a drink just so you can perform an appreciative (and directed harmlessly to the side) spit-take? Do you collapse to your knees and weep, openly and unashamedly, as you proffer yourself to this shockingly well-packed trunk? Any of these responses is appropriate, I think....

Easy, easy, stop being so horny on main, dude. Get a grip. Anyway, that Fairlane from that angle has all those key traits: bulging headlight eyes, a gaping open mouth with a bumper underbite, and an unhinged, hungry leer. Be careful, lady. I don’t trust that car. This silliness is precisely why. https://tenor.com/view/futurama-bender-eyes-gif-25647365 Putting a whole new positive spin on the “…You and the horse you rode up on…” meme Thought I was being all clever and stuff and you beat me to it!...

These were pretty sinister-looking cars, I always thought, with their inscrutable eyeless faces, long hoods and that sweeping arc of a character line coming from the front side of the rear wheelarch. I also like how the three-speed auto for these was called a Merc-O-Matic, because that’s a hell of a lot of fun to say. Merc-O-Matic, Merc-O-Matic. None of this explains why this lady looks so disgusted with me, though....

My friend in LA just took ownership of a Morris Minor project, and I’m so excited to see it up and running. These are such charming little proper puttering cars. Also, I think they’re one of that class of car where the second-generation redesign actually made the car look significantly better. Remember, the Minor started life with its headlights down low as the Morris Minor MM from 1948 and in 1953 the Series II moved them up into the fenders: Personally, I think the higher-headlight version has a much more appealing face, even if the double chrome trim around the grille is kind of strange....

Maybe it’s just the idea that beach parking is no worry if you’re willing to just drive up to the very edge of the motherflapping water and just call it good enough? Honestly, I bet it has more to do with the fact that today the entire staff is heading out to Los Angeles and I have to try and keep the illusion that everyone is here and everything is running just fine until I have to hit the airport this afternoon....

Are you one of these people? If yes, you made a smart decision. In a country where the cost of basic healthcare is sky-high, having health insurance coverage ensures you can access medical services whenever you need them. You won’t worry about settling your bill out of pocket. Unfortunately, sometimes health insurance companies refuse to pay out claims. What should you do if you’re in this situation? Here’s what to do when health insurance won’t pay....

The Rabbit wins! Though in this version of the story, it’s the hare that’s slow and steady. The VW is one of very few cars you could probably drag-race against that Metro and lose. The ’80s are back! Whether it’s Stranger Things, RADwood, or re-releases of Tamiya and Kyosho classic radio-control models, the nostalgia train has parked at the 1985 station and it’s not showing any signs of moving. The only problem with this, for those of us who lived through it, is that we’re constantly reminded just how very long ago it was, and how little progress we’ve made....

From the front, you might be forgiven for thinking that Rick Moranis got his hands on a Honda Civic Hatchback. Yes, the exploded blobfish nose makes an appearance here, for better or for worse. If you ever wondered how Lexus would evolve the spindle grill, it looks like we now have an answer. Honestly, I don’t hate it. The wavy edges of the grille are gloriously weird, plus the low height of the grille really helps visually ground the RX to the ground....

As children, we are often taught to practice humility; to not show off in social situations because it is considered rude. Consequently, as adults, we often feel awkward discussing our achievements, even if we are asked about them directly. We subconsciously worry we are coming across as unlikeable or obnoxious. Of course, in many situations, including at work, humility is a useful trait. But the entire purpose of a job interview is to convince your interviewer that you are the best person for the job....

If your morning coffee’s working a little too well, pull up a throne and have a gander at the best of the rest of yesterday. Ford Is Reportedly Killing The U.S.-Market Transit Connect It sounds like trouble might be brewing in small commercial van paradise. Automotive News reports that Ford plans on making 2023 the last model year for the Transit Connect in America....

Oof. Sorry, Porsche fans, but the consensus is that the 914 is just too much work to bring back, jackstand collection or no. Besides, Sixties vans are just too cool to ignore. Right then: Today we have a faded American icon, and a cheeky Japanese import. What do they have in common? Four wheels, two doors, and… well, that’s about it, really. But hey, I’ve seen marriages work with less....

Camaro 1SS 1LE Speaking of compromises, if you’re okay with something that’s not Japanese, not especially highbrow, and $4,005 more than a Civic Type R, there’s always the Chevrolet Camaro 1SS 1LE. At $47,995 including a steep $1,395 freight charge, it’s a mullet-weilding trackday weapon with one of the finest chassis on any front-engined rear-wheel-drive car today. Brake pedal feel is as confident as a Toastmasters champion, the steering is surprisingly communicative, and the LT1 engine is an absolute torque monster....

Many of you may have heard much of this story before, but it’s so interesting that it bears revisiting. Also, I want to show you BMW wheels on a Honda van. While the second-generation Odyssey packed its spare tire under the floor with access through the cabin, the third-generation Odyssey did things a bit differently. Many minivans were moving towards offering seating for eight, so Honda offered a removable second-row center seat that it needed to stow somewhere in the vehicle for the sake of convenience....

While this is a great investment strategy, it’s much more complex than just listing a property with a broker. You have to be realistic about your vacation home. Are you sure you’re ready to sell it? Are you sure it’s a good investment decision? Considering this as an investment strategy, you must answer both of these questions. You have to make sure it’s the right decision for you and your future....
