You're welcome. Great article by the way. I rember as a kid lamenting how weak my mom's late 70's Benz was compared to it's counterparts that stayed in West Germany (so I heard from friends who traveled there and the auto rags). I always thought it was the US EPA/DOT.

You ran this story 101 years too soon

Any dragstrip. Nothing better than testing your car from a standstill to it's top speed to work out any kinks.

I don't even know where to begin. CP

In Switzerland they call the New York TBM a "Dremel"

Nice article. Too bad you burst the NASCAR-hating bubbles of much of the commentariat.

You overlooked his double double-entendre of "red-bodied" stepchild and "Carma." Both were intentional. Delicious.

Funny but this looks photoshopped- the Chinese lettering is reversed

The only thing redeeming about the Scorpio is the reclining rear seat (if it still works). Other than that total CP. If I had to have a car named for an astrological sign (which I did), it would be a Taurus (of the SHO+ variety)

YOU'RE welcome!

Thanks. I was hydrofoamed on South Beach once in the '90s. Wouldn't recommend it.

You don't like Contichero or Ranchinental?

I have a French colleague who loves American cars; however, he was appalled to hear that I had a 1977 6.6 litre trans am. "How can you drive a car that's so environmentally irresponsible?" he asked, to which I replied "yeah, but it's recycled!"
