I would argue that the inspection climate and, well, weather climate is preventing Germans to daily-drive old machines. Not the price of gas.

JLR’s problem with their EVs is much like that of other automakers: they focused on making their EVs too distinctive to make sure that everyone knows it’s an EV. The wacky i-Pace was too big and wide for markets like the UK, and too much of a hatchback for places like the US and China. It is awkward looking and…

A running E39 540i with a manual transmission that looks like an M5 in 8.5/10 shape for 6k?

Code the flight control system to a max altitude of like, 20 feet, and you won’t need a chute. It’ll still suck if you crash but at least you’ll bounce instead of spread.

Likewise, keeping ‘Honda’ on the engines would have been better marketing for them than putting ‘Acura’ on it. Why would they have turned down the chance to brand the engines with their main brand when they had RB over a barrel, only to come back months later and pay money hand over fist (to beat all other possible…

To distract from the horrendous build quality and leaks that came from the factory

When I was a small child, we lived for 3 years in a camper we’d built from an old Ryder rental truck. It was solid slab yellow except for the back wall which was burnt orange spray velour. No chrome, graphics, logos or anything else.

Haha this one is particularly ugly. But the new ones are nicer...

Funny. Here in Europe, where the hachback is ubiquitous, I’ve always digged the sedan (it’s been available for a number of years now, but it’s still a rare sight).
It’s proportioned and old school, I like it.

If by “chasing an Indycar seat” you mean, doesn’t have any offers for an F1 drive and needed to settle, then sure.

Sarcastic comment referring to a lazy, ridiculous article posted weeks earlier? Those are the best types of sarcastic comments.

I was led to believe that F1 was losing drivers to INDY?

I came to post the same thing. I expect it will take a 100+ MPH crash into a school bus before that becomes an honest conversation in any law house. It’s also wild that a (legally defined) child can legally operate a car that hits 60 MPH in under 3 seconds before they can smoke, vote, or drink.

Mk1 Panda. The new one is just too darn big.

Suzuki Cappuccino! It’s an adorable Kei car with a 3cyl turbo motor. What’s not to like?

When reading NP or ND I try not to pay attention to the asking cost then at the end, I look to see what their asking with what I think I would pay for it.

Oh the plane will definitely go deeper than 6 feet. The pilot on the other hand......

If you’re going Mach 2, I imagine you can get deeper than 6 feet in this thing.

Operating from 62000ft above ground to 6ft below.
