How about going Ze German Way?

You do remember the kind of country Germany was back then, right?

Yes.

Tiny wheels look tiny.

Yes, absolutely! That's what makes driving the MZ in the snow all sorts of bonkers. Some WWII german machines are 2WD, mostly BMWs and Zündapps. I also thought about getting an Ural (the russian copies of those WWII BMWs still being made), but their quality is awful, and they are fairly complex. And heavy. And slow.…

FYI: 1979 MZ TS 250/1. 19 HP of two-stroke eastern german commy badassness. That sidecar has a hydraulic brake, btw. The scary skinny tires made it quite usable in the snow (3,5" back, 2,75" front, 2,5" on the sidecar). I still own it, but not longer try to get killed driving it in the winter.

It's missing a wheel, does it still count?

This was my daily driver for a couple of years:

I was just about to ask: Japan?

But of course Japan.

This fuckers give me the same sick gut feeling that did Firefly's Reavers ever since they appeared, and every day a bit more.

Funny enough, this video was made to show how bad the Rettungsgasse principle sometimes work.

For some reason, in Germany emergency car drivers (thowe with flashing blue lights: firefighters, police and ambulances) are allowed to break driving rules, but only as far as no damages occur. They are responsible for damages and punishable like anybody else behind the wheel. They might drive over red lights, but…

The extreme opposite example (me with friends last week):

Argentina lost the war.

Hi ThePro. I'm half argentinian, and my family lives there.

Fuck.

I want to have this guy's babies.


Yes, I'm a dude.

And I love its vulgarity. I would hang truck balls in mine.

That will buff right out.

It doesn't have to be animals. Cars have been wonderfully named after weather, planets, astronomical phenomena, mythological figures, feelings, powers, emotions, and probably the occasional vegetable or adverb. There's so many words and concepts and ideas out there, and not all of them can be easily rendered on a…
