Here in Seattle, we're about to have "Pronto!", our new bike share open. I'm looking forward to the convenience of having the bikes available for daily errands. Having an e-bike option would allow me to expand my errand options to Capitol Hill.

Now just wait a minute! This is a travesty!
Yes.
I love riding bikes! Many of the racing techniques are complimentary between disciplines (line selection, weight shift, drafting, intimidation).
Surely they gave you a commission of an old Roadster drivetrain, right? That's just the thing to wake up your Beetle's performance at the next Ultimate Street Car Challenge.
This is turning F1 into 80's style professional wrestling.
This is what motorsport is all about! I started autocrossing in a '94 pinkish purple Escort GT. I had a blast in that car. It doesn't matter what you drive, just that you drive.
Yes, the Fulvia is another lustworthy car.
I want one of these so bad. I'm hoping to import one of the later ones in a couple years. Here's an Integrale 16V I found in Florence not too long ago. It stood out in the car park like a flaming T-rex would in Disneyland.
I drove a Viper GTS on mammoth Hoosiers once. That was fun.
In 20 years, I think I'd more regret letting the Miata go. I still regret not having my '68 2002 hot rod anymore (it blew up, I was in college couldn't afford the fix). The Alfa would be just a car (albeit a very cool one) and in 2 years I'd probably be pissed at myself for not buying a Ferrari 355 or 328 instead (I…
Well shit. I was honestly hoping the 4C would suck.
That's how I pronounce his name. Is that incorrect?
Another great article, Alan. You need to dig out your camera and get shooting again.
Is this more of a problem for people that fall outside of the normal human size considered when the car was designed? Perhaps people over 6'5" (or whatever is out of the index population) have long enough legs that this becomes a concern.
Thanks for filling in the blanks about Hawthorn's demise. It wasn't until after I got my own Big Healey (just a 3000, not a 100 S) that I learned the rest of the story about that crash at Le Mans.
Eventually, most police departments adopted the Ford Crown Victoria, which is an excellent, fantastic vehicle that really rivals the Ferrari 458 Italia both in terms of performance and attractiveness. I say this because you cannot insult the Ford Crown Victoria on the Internet and get away with it: Ford Crown Victoria…
11 June 1955: The scene of the crash at Le Mans racing circuit, after Pierre Levegh's Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR spun out of control and exploded into the tightly packed crowd, killing Levegh and 80 spectators and injuring many more.
