When I was a teenager we lived in Germany, late eighties. Pretty sure I saw one of these from time to time, though it might have been four wheels, not three.

The “mapped to an automatic” part. Thankfully, a more thoughtful reply gave me and idea of what’s in play here.

Expected to say NP but:

Hmmmmm. GM era, second generation (2005)?

Mister Gradenko and I debate this. He has a Prius, with the toe-brake, which I irrationally despise.

But I wouldn’t say those terrible things are the focus of the Bible either. It is a messy work; my favorite being, why does God take bets with Satan? And, like I mentioned, terrible things have been done in the names of all religions.

I can’t be the only one who heard “Big Iron” playing at first. Cross-post to Kotaku and see what you get.
