I always said one didn’t accelerate; one gathered momentum. Really had to plan over taking moves, ringing down to the engine room ahead of time for more steam.  Built like a bank vault and built to a standard and not a price point....

I had a 1983 Benz 240D. The shop that took care of it said it was the slowest 240D they’d ever seen...and it had a four speed manual. Wanna run acceleration tests? Bring a sundial...

I drove a new Accord with their CVT - it was pretty ‘normal’. Altimas with CVTs are just crappy drivers - droney things. Awful cars.

Torch, a family in Raleigh had several 1920s era European cars moldering away in a damp garage, pack rat style. One was a 1924 Renault...scuttle nose and a full width radiator behind the engine. Radiator was thick and it was big.

Gesus.

Also because he's an uppity negro...

I'm sitting in the airport giggling like a fool at this... it's glorious.

Yep, my formatting went to hell a couple of days ago.

Somehow a company that claims it can’t afford to pay its drivers is worth $82 billion....or rather some damned fools think it’s worth $82 billion to them and are willing to pay that for it.  What a scam!

You say that like it's a bad thing...

No, but the article headline is still reeking clickbait...

I thought Courtney Love was a farce.  Then I heard this album...and you're right.  It's damn good.

Were said chrome upgrades at the expense of proper maintenance?  That's what I usually wonder....

SWEET BARKING CHEESE.

That is better...or rather somewhat less awful.

They looked like tumble turds. Topheavy, awkward, clumsy, cumbersome.

I really like this.

The moyel gets the tips.

Italian cars of that era are not noted for being paragons of fine craftsmanship...I’m betting that’s a factory weld.
