@ZZZYZZZ: Very common problem in most of the UK, where most years that sort of snow only happens a couple of days a year at most, so it's usually not worth buying winter tyres- especially if you don't have a place to store them.

@headhot: 52 gallons big enough for you? At "full chat" it burns through that in 13 minutes.

@Gothmog3VZ - Rocking a Camry V6 5MT - Haters gonna Hate: No, the Prius is built in Japan.

@ps3udorca: Interesting that you say that replying to a post about a (FWD) Mini Cooper.

@Isetta:

@Schm-san strikes back: I thought this was fictional...

@krypterband: In strict terms, not all rockets are missiles and not all missiles are rockets.

The convoys also include…

@Nissan-280zx: Wrong Smart car...

@parkwood60: Of course, the 3-litre bike will be the MST3K...

@Turbineguy - now with Ash78-less dispersant: That's what this is for. It doesn't matter if you can walk- if you're 83, no-one will bat an eyelid if you're carrying a stick...

@irishman-AARGH!: No steam catapults. That didn't stop the Stig, though...

C.S. Rolls says what the fuck is this shit?
