Who's pushing two tons of vehicle with a Civic drivetrain?

Yeah, I do hear things can get a little ridiculous with union regs; I think what we're both getting at is some great underlying truth about road crews....

I'm going back to Germany this summer, I'll keep an eye out for how they get stuff done.

And yet our vehicle mortality rate is orders of magnitudes less? Apples, meet oranges.

Say what you will about unions, but our right-to-work road crews don't operate any quicker.

Um, 95M. Thanks. Though that 97 is very nice and a rare example of tasteful stance.

Just gonna leave this here:

I don't think the Monte Carlo's ever even smelled luxury, but design-wise the ELR really is just a tarted-up CTS coupe. I know the underpinnings are Volt, but the language is aalll CTS. And that's certainly a personal luxury coupe.

Thanks for catching that, I only knew of the CLK-GTR till your post led me to look up the difference; totes a prototype. I just posted that remembering that a silver Mercedes flipped at Le Mans.

And some really suspect aerodynamics:

Major props to whoever was driving that Prius V he passed near Brünnchen. I'm guessing those brakes regenerated that battery like never before!

Yeah, but he was standing outside for the first pass, inside for the snowball throw.

Sandblast Rally in SC is next month! It's pretty much the only one though....

Eighth Amendment?

That threw me so hard. I thought we borrowed the idea from Ze Germans? Or at least came up with it on our own but after they did?

This logo was also on my '94 626, though. The Miata and Millenia were a Eunos-branded cars elsewhere but I'm pretty sure the 626 stayed with Mazda and Efini.

Came expecting this:

Seriously, 10 runs? My first AX only got me 3, and the most I've gotten is 6. Granted, I never stuck around for fun runs because I always wind up at either scorching hot or completely soaked courses...

Sweet Pumas.

Yeah we're so lucky. Either our bosses force us to come to work and we have to brave the mess on all-season/summer tires with a bunch of other yahoos that can't handle low-traction situations, or we don't get to go to work and don't get paid. Win for everybody!
