How many jobs and livelihoods did it save though? If it prevented people becoming destitute and homeless, if it prevented families suffering, if it saved communities from breaking up and towns from becoming derelict, then it was not money lost. It was money well spent. Just because you cannot measure the results on an…

Could easily be GTE but due to some manufactures displeasure they won’t grant us a waiver to race in GTE until we sell 250 which will be a while...

We just bought a 2015 Altima and, truthfully, it's not horrible or irritating. It's dull, but it's predictable, cheap to run, and we practically stole it thanks to incentives. Beats the MINI Cooper it replaced at everything but being fun (which we knew going in). Sometimes you just need a family car that gets great…

I imagine most of us who grew up in the early 90s could communicate entirely in Simpsons and Seinfeld references.

Camry bumper corners that prefer to be innies.

Driver education in the US is laughably easy to pass. Not only is the initial bar set low, but renewal is based on little more than a vision test. And people tend to relax after obtaining their license; they stop trying hard to be good drivers. Once over the hurdle, they stop putting enough effort into their driving.

Yep. He went to State.

Hey Bill, let’s check out the noise reported on the Z and pickup some tacos.

Backwards Bob.

I was always a Snakebite fan. Driven of course by Colt Cobra of Cobra Creek, Colorado.

Are you serious? So you think the vehicles they made when they were with Diamler were better than the vehicles they’re making now?

Based on some other comments, I wasn't the only one who had the matchbox version of this "back in the day." It was my first introduction to the marque (Peugeot, not Matchbox)

This was my favorite Matchbox car for most of 1991

The C7 uses it. They have vents that have this metal, when a voltage is applied the vent opens, voltage taken away the vent closes. I believe it is only used for a vent that allows the rear decklid to close properly (without an open vent there's too much air pressue for the lid to close).

If Cadillac isn't going to build that chunk of rolling sex, then Lincoln should rip it off, flip the rear doors, and call it a Continental.

Most monster trucks, at least in North America, have a remote killswitch that can cut the engine from outside the vehicle. It's unclear if this truck had one, if it was activated, or if it was, if it functioned as designed. It's hard to tell, since it sounds like the throttle was still open until the final moments.
