You can’t charge premium prices for a car that isn’t really desirable. I mean, that view of the rear? Woof. Solid ND.

Maybe he went from bath-tub gin to bath-salt gin.

Man, if only there were some way to confirm this theory. 

This is why navy ships have what is known as a shakedown cruise. It’s a test to see what the problems might be and iron them out.

It had so much decoration and adornment—besides the fact that aesthetics were different then—for a very simple reason.

Been there - that museum is amazing, as is the preservation of the ship.

In Stockholm, there is a museum dedicated to the Vasa, which was (probably) the world’s first warship with two gun decks. It was so tall, that it was unstable. The king demanded they stop doing stability tests for fear it would sink. Then, it sank in the river on its maiden voyage. Some 300+ years later, people found…

I think it’s a great idea. Frequently I find myself approaching our wagon coming out of a store with bags in hand, wanting to open the rear driver’s side door. No big deal to hit unlock twice, but then that does defeat the safety intent of preventing others from climbing in the passenger side. Wonder why other makes…

i’d love my car to have this. I always drop my laptop bag on the driver’s side rear seat, then get in the car, instead of unlocking the whole car

My mother had the same van when I was in high school, and if I remember correctly, the unlock sequence being like this was intended for parents looking to put their children in the vehicle with one click, and not having the other side of the vehicle unlocked as a safety feature while in parking lots

There is so much pettiness/weirdness that there just has to be a deeper, probably more stupid truth to this whole mess.

Best used car ad I ever saw, in the Albuquerque Journal classifieds one morning:

Both guys seem like jackasses, but at least one of them is probably lying (maybe both, to some degree). Personally, I prefer look of the pre-rubber bumper MGs, but that black and white one with the Minilite/replica wheels in the photo above (I know, it’s not the actual car in question) is quite snazzy looking.

Maybe David "Rusty" Tracy will?

Well then it turns into an OnlyFans video and they make even more money.  

Wiki says 246, which sounds more likely to me.

Do automakers like Maserati include those toolkits in their cars as an inside joke with their customers, or on their customers?

You haven’t been to a Jeep event then. they have them all over the country. I was at one in our Gladiator this labor day weekend with over a thousand Wranglers and Gladiators from just our area. Trail riding, Obstacle courses, recovery training seminars, make money for charity organizations, etc. They happen several…

The charger/challenger hellcat/redeye were mostly garage queens that were driven on nice weekends and might get raced on occasions. What were gas actually got guzzlers that driven anything more than negligible amounts were R/Ts, G/Ts and Daytona’s (maybe a few 392s) that got backyard modified to be pretend hellcats.
