If that were my car, and I caught some kid doing that - he would be sitting in the driver's seat before he knew what hit him.

I parked next to a Ferrari of some kind at a local car show one time, where the car had "do not touch" signs all over it, with fine print going on to explain how not touching it would lead to its' enjoyment for generations to come. So I put a sign in my window that said to please touch all you want and, as a matter of fact, feel free to sit in the driver's seat and make engine noises. I played "doorman" for hours letting dozens of kids sit in it and truly enjoy it.

And yes, I would do so even if this were mine:

Uncle convinces his niece the car is going to eat her. Short vid here with no sound:

That borders on child abuse... heh heh... some of the comments are hilarious.

"Nothing says fun like the pure terror of child thinking they are about to die"

"Lol she's going to grow up hating convertibles."

"All fun and games until she puts an arm or neck out of the car trying to escape and gets pinched or worse. Not sure psi involved."

2013 article
Totalcar Magazine - Used Cars - The first, the last


Quote:
Aerodynamics was the keyword when developing the new family car. The engineers and designers worked hard to make the car more fuel efficient, better to drive and more cost-effective to produce. To achieve all this, Ford people in Cologne spent over 2.8 billion Deutsche Marks (approximately the same amount in dollars today) for the development of the Sierra. Searching for the most aerodynamic shape, Heinz Ostendorf and his team spent more than 75 days in the wind tunnel testing all the design ideas. People were working hard in the Daimler-Benz Windkanal in Stuttgart, as they were guests in the facility, and only the costs of renting it amounted to 1.2 million Deutsche Marks. Every idle minute spent there was like throwing money in the huge fans of the wind generator.
