It's not for me, but if Yugos are your thing, this looks like it's in nice, almost rust-free condition. Potential NP for the right (weird) person.

If the accident looks like obvious dumbassery, the cop will write up careless driving. (Source: life experience)

I'm sure by the time your dad passes GM will be on top of the horsepower wars again. (said as a guy who hopes the next all black Buick Regal GNX has a 1000hp)

Thank god no one was hurt or killed. That's all it would take to start a moral panic against cheap power. I'm still not sure this won't blow up in Chrysler's face, alas.

My dream ride is a Morgan 3-wheeler, so one day it may happen.

The pre VW Bentleys are God's way of telling you you don't have enough aggravation in your life.

But the power to weight ratio is probably half-decent.

Most people in the 60s traded in every three years. "Planned obsolescence" was very much a thing. A car with 100K miles on it was a beater. Only Mercedes Benzes were built to something like modern day standards.

In a 2-stroke the exhaust functions like a fireplace chimney - it helps suck the exhaust gases out.

CAFE standards will tighten regardless of gas prices, though.

They're still selling old French cars out of that location.

Wait ... Peugeot / Citroen Diplomatic Sales and Service (in the Hackensack Meadowlands) is closed?

Yes. I've encouraged a friend, who's experiences are more recent than mine, to go to the New York Times. But they've got a family, and are afraid of what happens to whistle blowers (getting sued for violating their NDA, never working in the field again, etc).

"we just test all the blood for safety " - that's what we do know. Only problem is, the American Red Cross (the nations premier blood-banking organization) is about as effective as the TSA.

You're assuming that screening is reliable. I've worked in blood banking QA, and I think it's a miracle we haven't had a major disaster yet.

Doesn't surprise me at all. They're in a business where huge amounts of money are at stake, and yet they don't know how to make great product consistently. You'll find the same mentality on Wall Street.

I picked "allies" and also got the 3-wheeler.

Uncannily accurate; it matched me with my IRL dream ride, the Morgan 3-wheeler.

Punishment and rehabilitation are two aspects of a penal sentence. Deterring copycats is a third, and that probably weighed heavily in the year.

True fact: they used to use plutonium batteries in pacemakers. A couple dozen living people still have them, which could be the premise for a bizarre terrorist "dirty bomb" scenario.
