Paul really is dead!

This Chinese source claims the list of damaged vehicles includes:

NP FOR SPIRIT ANIMAL HOOD. WHO NEEDS PONIES UNDER THE HOOD WHEN YOU HAVE A PANTHER ON TOP OF IT. FIERCE.

But not a penny more.

I saw a non-rusty Bagheera at the weekend. Sadly, it wasn’t a 3-seater any more, as someone had placed a V8 where the frunk used to be and a huge transmission tunnel where the middle seat used to be. There were some other changes from standard too...

I’ll take it for $500. Saves me the trouble of making a livery for LeMons.

Having ridden in that seat in a similar (albeit non-pantherised) car, I can confirm that it’s best for everyone if you don’t have a left leg (that’s where the gearstick is), and there will be physical contact with both other occupants, so it can be awkward.

This shitcan must feel right at home in Cleveland. I’d hate to take it away from its natural habitat. CP.

Well, it’ll get attention, but so will a cockroach on a wedding cake.

Indian also failed many times, before it was finally revived by Polaris, a company with significant cred and deep pockets. Maybe if Triumph had bought Norton, this might have some footing, but 4 million quid isn’t enough to R&D a bike worthy of taking on Ducati. It’s barely enough to get started on an electric bike…

I’m guessing this will be about as successful.

I’m not sure if I’m disappointed or relieved that they aren’t trying a Wankel again.

Note to self. Back away from the window when I see a massive explosion off in the distance.

Definitely electronically adjustable door mirrors. I’ve had them on my cars all my life, and I recently rented a UHAUL without them. It was a PITA to walk out, around, adjust, go back, test, repeat probably 5 or 6 times before it was acceptable. Huge win, totally under appreciated.

I so very miss the simple functionality of buttons and switches. The mechanical clunk of the mechanism, the 100% reliability, the way they’re always in the same spot. Shove your touch screen up your ass. Cars were better without them.

Auto dimming mirrors. Remember having to reach of and flick your mirror over to the other setting when you had some dick leaving his high beams on, or someone that had terribly set headlights?

The little arrow on the fuel gauge that reminds you which side the filler is on. Now that I have a couple VWs in the driveway it isn’t that big of a deal, but when we were a Mazda/VW family, it was easy to forget which car had the filler on which side. This is also helpful with rental cars, or any car you’re not…

A spare tire of any kind. My car has one, but I worry it may be the last car I can buy that does.

Remember when cars had these inside the “adaptor”?:

Oscillating air vents: the Mazda 626 had them with a “Swing” button. Best option ever!
