MINIs aren’t small, per se, they are just smaller than most other cars. That’s something I can support.

I had the first gen. Loved it. Had Mini problems so I sold it. A couple of years ago I was looking for a small, fun, quirky, European AWD hatch and end up with a Fiat 500x. It has genuine character, heated seats, phone connectivity, a good AWD and a god-awful automatic for a total of $23,000 new.

I live in Denver. Cheyenne is a decent place with a rodeo once a year and some Republicans. Ft. Collins has a University. Denver has weed and hipsters while Colorado Springs has, hum, churches and even more republicans. And there is an Irish bar and a good burger joint in Pueblo. So yeah, I would totally use this…

When he talked about sausages cut to different lengths was he referring to the e46, e39 and e32? They were all reasonably sausagy, and quite Bangled but not an e36 or an e30 or a shark nosed anything.

Yeah. I complained, but I think I owned three of his cars. First gen X5, Z3, 135i. His disdain for my stately and classic E39 and E46 at the time as sausages cut to different lengths (sausage is delicious, BTW) kind of annoyed me, but the designs grew on me and I even think the “sows belly” crease on the side of my…

Buy Volvos. They are boxy but they are good.

And with the jeeps doing 70 on the trails, like off roading is because there are no speed limits.

My question is—I am 44 and have only ever had one SSN. My ssn is now public knowledge so I can be hacked for the rest of my life?

That’s the famous Guibo. So glad you got the rectangular one, not the cone or squid model.

The Kia does everything this car does. It’s 152x58x63 (ok, not even close). Why do people even buy those stupid Kias. Because, seriously I would probably take the 2cv, such is my euro snobbery (I own a Fiat which makes way less sense than owning a Citroen—those skyrockets in value every time it’s mentioned on…

Should you have the means it’s totally worth it.

Speedycop takes the car to a *radio* interview.

I love the U.K., from Wales to Northern Ireland and, of course merry old England. But when your town is named after a direction and a body part, it’s probably not a tourist destination.

Can you swap in newer 2.0t, because those are a delight.

Surprised that I didn’t get more response from this one. Stihl, do you think that a small two stroke is the only internal combustion engine with low enough rotational inertia, and this high enough levels of responsiveness, that it could be played like an instrument?

On the topic of using engines as instruments—god save the queen—on a Renault?

Wrong song. It’s Jackyl, not Metallica:

Nothing! Absolutely nothing! You so stupid!

Safety tech is keeping Joe Arpaio on the road? Whose safety? Maybe age should finally be the one thing to discourage him from being able to drive around hassling brown people and immigrants.

Pure genius, unlike this hacky shifter thing
