No, the fish aliens took over Peugeot. This was the grays.

Since that time, the keys to the Vice-Presidential Miata have been handed down from each to his successor, however, abuse of the space time continuum with said Miata (termed by VP Albert Gore as "freakin' sweet") caused a paradox whose effects are felt to this day in the form of multiple Joe Bidens. Those…

A Miata would have cured FDR's polio. However, John Nance Garner hid the time machine (and his own Miata) like a jerk.

I disagree. Any standard stick setup allows for an analog-type control of the clutch, which, while less immediate than a DCT or similar, allows for a vast range of driving techniques, pleasant feedback to the enthusiast, and much better control of vehicle speed from stop and in reverse, similar to the slip allowed…

Yep. The 1st gen Honda Insight had a standard transmission. The hybrid set was on the flywheel, so any situation involving engine braking translated to power generation, and when needed, the motor on the flywheel kicked in extra torque. Simple, effective.

A Hungarian pigeon slayer, as opposed to Hungarian pidgen, slain or otherwise?

Kickstart my Heart, ZZ Top, all these ringing true, as well as quite a lot of Judas Priest.

Michael Caine passed his driving test at age 50, and Cars 2 was the first modern 3d film he saw.

Oh, I don't know, how about when Dodge decided that "Hemi" was just marketing lingo and didn't give us an actual hemispherical combustion chamber? Good sir, we require genuine hemi (not a pent roof), nitrous oxides be damned.

With #1, the last great hope of having a Shriners' convention on the Arab Street evaporated.

I originally got mine over ten years ago, but it lay dormant a few years after I'd torn it down. It's been assembled to that extent for about 3, I think.

This Series I promotional video, on the other hand, is one of the least serious things I've ever seen.

I've been there. The frame on mine had to be replaced complete out of my dad's spares, as it had been on salted Wisconsin roads and parked in the woods, leaving the bit under about the front tunnel cover plate rusted to only the welds. The daft idiot who'd owned it prior had welded steel U-channel to the frame when…

If I replied to your other post re: hoods somewhat pompously, I do apologize, I didn't immediately note your post that you *had* one as opposed to having a preference with one. She's a beaut.

That's the Deluxe hood: as opposed to the standard one with a straight sheetmetal edge. The Deluxe hood was most commonly seen with the tire recess, but mine is that model without, which I suspect (but don't know for sure) is the least common variant of any hood.

If a Landy is exposed to a lot of salt, it is possible for areas of the body to pit out. That's because even with all Series Landies being made out of alumin(i)um, there are steel support rails under the back bed, a steel radiator support, a steel firewall, steel door and sill frames, and of course a steel frame (made…

A good political litmus test for hostile posture, then.

Won't you come see about me...

The easiest way to tell the difference between an early Series II and a IIa Land-Rover (barring exhaustive knowledge of lights and engine features) is that early models have the steering arms on the top swivel pin and not the bottom. A black dashboard in a Series IIa is an indication the vehicle is negative ground.
