hmmm, i didn’t pay attention - is there more “business” going on in the front under-hood compartments of the i3/Bolt than the Tesla?

I think most would agree that it looks better than the Bolt and i3.

For me it was the instrumental version of “Insensatez” off the Lost Highway soundtrack. Welcome to the world of Jobim

related: there are many car guys and gals in animation. a buddy of mine snuck Ferrari taillights onto a cruise ship design. it made it to air (that’s a screengrab of the actual episode). A CRUISE SHIP WITH TAILLIGHTS!

He’s referencing a classic story from 2009 (one of my faves):

hey, did you know some crazy Italian dude built a real-life Batmobile from Batman: The Animated Series? (there’s a video of it running!)

Yes.

It’s probably no coincidence that the logo reminds me of the female reproductive system:

well that didn’t last.

Yes, I’m very happy with my decision.

well, i ended up buying the retro-tastic Yamaha SR400 (basically a re-released 70’s motorcycle with a kickstarter). i chose with my heart - even though the Honda ticked off many boxes, including practicality, performance/handling, price, and brand loyalty - i wanted a vintage motorcycle but really didn’t want to have…

the Grom was the bike that got me interested in buying a motorcycle late last year. But I decided during my shopping that I really would like something highway capable, so I decided against the Grom. I came very close to buying the Honda CB300F (lead pic and #2 on the list above). I never test drove it but just…

Well, I have the impression that some C3 owners are classic ‘Murica old dudes that wouldn’t be caught in a Ford, let alone a foreign car. But everyone is usually nice (and helpful when I’m on the forums), and I’ve met some nice guys and gals at C3 meets.

ah! i remember you - i think you made a comment about your C3 and your Abarth a few weeks (months?) ago and i thought “woah, another C3 owner that also digs the Abarth!” I’ve borrowed an Abarth a couple of times for a weekend here and there and I absolutely love that little car. it’s one of the funnest cars to drive…

Hah, we’re like the alternate universe versions of ourselves - my wife finds my C3 (1980) uncomfortable (and loud). I may take a (solo) long drive in it this weekend.

Your mention of Bowling Green and what I can see from your avatar pic tells me you’re a fellow C3 owner. I’d LOVE to do a cross-country trip in my C3, or almost any car. Maybe even a motorcycle. Maybe.

yup, as with every single car sold in the U.S. at that time thanks to federally mandated “85 mph” speedometers across the board. Didn’t matter if you were a Toyota Corolla, a Corvette, a Ferrari 308 or a DeLorean.

Ah shit, a very timely article, indeed. Tomorrow morning I’m waking up early to take my beast to its biannual smog check. I dread it more than doing my taxes. And I’ve been audited before. Twice!

have fun, good luck, and take plenty of pics/video for us commoners. As far as tips for participating in the Mille Miglia, I recomend you watch these two educational films:

As a classic car owner (but not classic enough) living in CA, I’ve been following this and the previous law mentioned above. But I thought it was supposed to go for a vote this past Tuesday, April 20? What I found:
