If you’re going to do donuts that is not the place to do them. It wouldn’t exactly be hard to launch your car right over the edge and the Bay Bridge is 200 feet above the water.

You could probably do the same with a welder.

Not exactly. The concept of the autobhan had been around since the 1920's and while the vast bulk of the autobahn was created after WW2, around 13,000 KM of road was completed before the end of the war. It was used as a piece of propaganda and in some instances during the war planes were hidden under some of the…

Like speed holes.

That has to be the longest timing belt I’ve ever seen.

Its sort of like seeing one of those stupid ads selling some sort of organizing system for closets or pantrys. Humans aren’t wired to be regementally neat. So when I see stuff like that along with those glamour garages I’m like: “ Yeah right!”

I’m too much of a packrat for a house like those. Designer houses only work if you keep them perfectly clean and decorated. Since you can see through the entire house if it were mine people would drive by and see a house full of random crap that I collect.

I’m not a fan of sterile, cold home designs. Then again I also think the design for the i3 is terrible too. I don’t get the design language in that car especially seeing as how the i8 looks great. But the i3? WTF...

I did too and wondered why those never seemed to sell very well. I think the complaint was that they had zero trunk space or something.

Seems that was the case with the aforementioned teacher I had. That and it seemed like the interior would have bits and pieces falling off. Back when it came out GM was promoting Saturn as being akin to a Japanese car with all of the quality controls and so forth. A first that seemed somewhat true. But the car don’t…

The plastic body panels was one of their bragging points. Remember the ads where kids were playign basketball or something and the ball “bounced” off the car? I think there was another where a garbage can ran into it. But the plastic seemed a bit brittle. Occasionally I see one on the road with actual holes punched…

I have a friend from the UK who’s father works at a Vauxhall plant. I can’t recall which one. But hopefully he won’t lose his job as a result of this.

They were big where I grew up, but mostly because they were made nearby. I grew up in Tennessee and the Saturn plant was big news. I distinctly recall going to the local mall and there were 2 brand-new Saturns on display, a little after the brand first came out. I think this was in late 89' or something and for at…

I love this car. Its like a Maverick, Mustang, Pinto, and Celica all got wrapped up into one car.

Oh I see. So the tesla would beat the shit out of the Porsche and then the Porsche driver would say in big labowski accent:” no faaaaier!” And insist on doing the race over until the tesla ran out of battery power some 250 miles later.

No it shouldn’t have. Because rich people.

I have horror stories like the one above but the worst was in getting the harmonic balancer off my Brother’s old Avalon. We were really broke back then and couldn’t afford an impact wrench. The piece was held on with around 190 pounds of torque. The end result was that I wound up making a HUGE 4 foot long wrench out…

Yogi’s eyeball seems to have dislodged itseld from its socket and is sticking out in front of his hat. He seems rather happy though.

First gear:

As a 39 year old man who grew up on the rural south, all I can think of when I see this thing is that it reminds me of the kind of truck the skinny, mullet wearing redneck guy down the road might own. You know- that guy. Who drank Mountain Dew for breakfast and only listened to Skynard’ and the Eagles.
