This is the door trim of an ageing Lancia Appia. Look at the junction line between the screws. Nice fit right? Now look at it again and see the almost imperceptible junction in the front part of the trim.
The Lambo was measured on old, comparatively shit tires, and the Sedona was measured on much better, much newer tires.
You can now never unsee the terribly lazy second row doors showing that Volvo did not give two shits when designing the wagon version of the 140 and repeated the same trick for the 240. All those that hold Volvo up as the paragon of wagons, you have been deceived by a false prophet.
You don’t need to reach limits of a car to appreciate your car. I don’t drive anywhere near my car’s capabilities and I really really like my car.
That hood doesn’t sit well. Salvage title special cop car?
You also get these when making espresso if the conditions are juuust right.
Just because the 599 took a shit on convention doesn’t mean I don’t prefer my GTO Ferraris to have anything to do with homologation. Like the 288 GTO and 250 GTO. And not the bastard 599 GTO.
Cars would be significantly less fun to me if I had to rely on them for basic transportation.
Spreading your arms increases aerodynamic drag, not friction.
The Renault 5 is a classic car because it represents something besides transport. I’d even say small cheap cars are more worthy of restoring because they represent the times much better than expensive luxobarges.
Please. Plenty people realize. And those people also realize you’re grossly oversimplifying. The actual valvetrain of the OHV engine is heavier. An OHC valvetrain is also simpler than a OHV valvetrain because you can ditch the rockers, lifters and pushrods.

Matt, let me help you out:
Could you show me examples of cars of the era in the same price bracket that were better cars than the Fiat 128? I am personally hard-pressed. Keep in mind this car was in the price bracket of a Morris 1300 and Ford Escort. A Datsun 510 was significantly more expensive.
Well, if something is terrible 90% of the time, but 10% of the time it is brilliant, it’s objectively a terrible car.
People who’s only knowledge about Italian cars comes from their racist uncle might not be aware, but Fiats and especially Alfas were always among the better driving cars.
As a fellow becaged, decarpeted, car owner I cannot agree. A carpet would hide a lot of dirt that gets deposited in the car from shoes.
