Hey, it does look like a cartoon car. Pat called: he want’s his mail truck back

hmm, would that change the emissions enough to invalidate the test? also, how different? maybe a few different joints, bends and manifolds, but wouldn’t the catalytic and mufflers be exactly the same?

VW would have to test the Golf Wagon with the R drivetrain for emissions, fuel economy, and crash testing. The costs are huge.

take it to the dealership and say “order this for me?”

^...which is what Australian states are doing with ‘hoon’ laws (including mandatory impounding of vehicles), even though they have reckless and other laws that would cover such behaviour, it plays well to morons who see people doing burnouts in quiet industral estates and think that should be against the law. This…

Depends on the car.

The third Star Wars Battlefront—just called Star Wars Battlefront

Is the wreck filled with 1980's pure uncut cocaine?

So is the 500L named such as to confuse non-car people into thinking you’re cool and drive a Fiat 500?

Faced with the pressures of speed and the tipping system, motoring prudence can sometimes get thrown out the window.

My first reaction was

hey, one i've actually been to! my brother bought a VC Valiant from them, which Flynn had acquired from outback NSW (nygan area). it had been dunked in flood water.

The idea that you (and everyone else) drives full-throttle around the entire race track for 500 miles without lifting - is stupid

Qualifying it like warms ups and practice. not really worth watching, let alone broadcasting. Hell, do any other sports telecast the athletes getting ready for a match? and if so, does anybody watch it?

Just a shame they didn't do the lip sync, rather than have the 'actors' just standing there like they're bored. otherwise a funny, well done homage to TGUK.

For completeness, it's also available in Australia under the Holden badge. oh, and the slogan "Trax be nimble, Trax be quick". lies, damn lies.

I don't know much about lane-splitting, but why can't bikes split/share parking bays? why do they insist on one bike per parking spot?

Allan Moffat had his Ford Falcon GTHO race car stolen in Melbourne, Australia. the thieves took it for a joyride and returned it with a 'thank you' note, saying they hocked the spare carburetor for gas. People reported hearing it ripping around the hills of Geelong.

During the GM Chevrolet meltdown, i wondered why GM, who had dozens of brands, insisted in making every car in every brand, rather than specializing types of cars for each brand.
