I'll admit the laser's got be worse for understeer. They're known for wanting to go in a straight line. Straight line speed, though: 671 million mph. The TrackSTer can't even be close.

The powertrain is of course the output coupler. Torque steer is just a means of stimulating emission. By which I mean poo.

I'm going to start referring to FWD engine bays as lasing cavities. You're welcome to join me.

Is it cheaper than, say, an industrial laser to use only for destroying tires?

It's their fault, then for not using Ls often enough in German to teach the locals the difference between that and R. I guess. I mean, if you're not going to use Ls for anything but a handful of words, it's asking for trouble.

Hell, I think Pawn Stars or a similar show had one they bought from a guy for less than $13k that was cherry. CP only because it's a lot to pay for a (probably ex-Swiss) 404 when there are better ones for 1/2-2/3 the price. Hard to find, yes, worth that much on the open market, not really.

The bottom kind of fell out of the market on 404s, IIRC, when the Swiss dumped their remaining stock on the market. Mogs can be worth a good bit, but this one, not close to that much. CP.

I didn't go to college with many fratty bros or spend great amounts of time with them, so I guess I have another reason not to regret that. It was just enough of a momentary "wut" to allow my mind to wander.

I'm very visual, so while I knew it wasn't pronounced the same way, the picture of beer next to a swap ("herro") meant my brain made the link unbidden.

Not to be rude, but as someone whose vocabulary did not until this moment include "rager" in this context, isn't using the word somewhere involving beer and r-l confusion asking for trouble?

Now, if she'd stolen several Explorers, fled in a box, and hidden in a tampon, we'd have a real Florida story.

They're leaving out the part where an electrical shock was necessary to give it a soul.

I never owned a purple car

I don't know, but I have it on good authority Marussia has something to do with the Motherland. Which makes sense, since it's Swedish for "more milk".

Now that's one greasy customer.

They sold most of the Rootes stuff, sadly.

Iso would work, if they can buy the name from whoever holds it. Bandini or, as has been mentioned, Autobianchi are viable, as both those names have ties to Fiat. If they wanted to dig into Chrysler's catalog to distance themselves from Italy, many of the Rootes brands or Simca would have been options but they were…

How about the hilariously pretentious EcoChic option on the Karma? In addition to being an obnoxious name, this is the option with fossil leaves, deadfall-or-recovered wood trim, etc. Bamboo! Brushed aluminum!

I like the original Air Grabber scoop.

It wasn't just the Explorer. The Eddie Bauer Edition debuted on a Bronco II, carried back to the fullsize Bronco, and was available even on the F-150. The EB Bronco II was actually much more than just a trim package, but most of the rest were only that.
