Redneck fix, NASCAR decided to put the lights on the road instead of the cars!

When I saw that concept in the ad my first thought was the bait and switch the USAF recruiting did with the vertical landing C-17 hospital ship that was never going to happen during their enlistment, I hope we don’t have to wait that long for an Escala :(

That might explain the black and red Volvo Batmobile I see running around NJ

As if French cars were not weird enough, China makes an electric Citroen. Buying a knock off made in China from the 40 thieves, what could go wrong?

I live between Ft Bragg and Warren Grove gunnery range, love hearing the brrrrrrt

I married one, that was a costly mistake :( She totaled my 68 Abarth, killed my 68 Corvair Spyder and was the reason I gave up my 67 Shelby. It’s one of those things you look back at and think it seemed like a good thing at the time.

There is another option, no casting, early engines welded the block together. Offies and Crosley even welded the cylinder to the head so no head gasket to blow. The downside to that was you needed to pull the piston to do valve work.

I like the side but the front :( “1925 Phantom I Round Door built by Jonckheere” had a beautiful front end

“It sounds like they’re planning to solve the buoyancy problem by venting lifting gas” Nope, it said bladders, if you pump the gas under pressure into a smaller bladder you displace less air and you sink, release it back into the bigger bladder and you float :)

We had an idiot steam clean an electric forklift, it didn’t run for days. Same crew that left it parked inside the blast booth while they baking soda blasted some parts :(

I know where they are to, in that same ocean as MH370. Subs are like mines, knowing that they might be there makes you more cautious, take pre-cautions. Hinting that they are there is part of the game like telling Kim a carrier group is on the way and his Navy can’t do anything about it.

Well in the old days I was pulled over by the police a lot because they wanted to see my engine. I don’t they would have been impressed by a spare under the hood of a Shelby, not that it would have fit.

Not surprised the police were waiting for them. On a rally in NJ one officer blew the timing on one whole stage by stopping every car in the rally for a “safety inspection” The following year they used a different route around his area!

So that’s why you don’t see those silly inverted Jeep spare tire covers on Land Rovers, they were engineered to be self righting like English lifeboats!

Now that FIAT offers 4wd on the 500 a Jolly could be a real beach car maybe even with the Abarth exhaust note to scare the seagulls :) If not that I’d settle for a 124 Abarth.

Well the main problem with asymmetrical cars is making left and right hand drive models for different markets

We can only hope that 100% of North Korea’s missile control officers don’t know where the USA is. Back in the 50's there was a joke(?) that there was a town in Japan called Usa so things Made in Japan would say Made in Usa

A guy in NJ took his cam lock from the steering wheel in to get rechromed, it slipped off the alligator clip. By the time the plater found it at the bottom of the tank it was Swiss cheese :( They had to machine one from scratch!

When I tried finding my Mazda CX-5 online the dealers lied, if I asked for a GT they did a bait and switch with a stripped base model.

The airlines are doing their best to sell us on using Amtrak instead and please Congress, don’t let the airlines own any of the hypertube!
