Now I'm thinking I should delay the car article until the new Master List is out.

I don't think retired vehicles need to be taken that seriously, personally. You could easily just make a permalink for each one, then allow people to post that in the old build threads. I personally will probably get rid of two of my "retired" cars altogether if they become integrated into the rest.

Then you have the issue of people- not naming names cough cough BZP - who create a new car entry every year, complicating things. How to deal with that?

--------

As far as the current article goes, I'm almost to 350 views and have gotten comments from three different people with exactly the questions and presumptions you'd expect.

One of them seems generally interested in aero/FE and I had to politely explain that we don't have many efficient cars because the average consumer doesn't care, and therefore car companies don't care.

Either way, I look forward to more EM plugs and efficiency discussion on my page. For as long as I decide that it's worth my time. After all, if I quit tomorrow, the articles will still be there until the Kinja servers succumb to the apocalypse.
