I had a 1973 Maverick in high school. Amazingly it still had the interlock. Amazingly I disconnected it (so easy!)

Yes! It was not as nimble, but oh so fast and it surprised the Germans with its extended range—something the Millinium Falcon also shares.

Are you certain this wasn’t actually done by you?

Knowing how to take off cylinder head != drives around with no oil pressure. 

I saw one of these at the top of Holy Cross City in Colorado which, I suspect, even the trail rated Renegade couldn’t do.

David Tracy is like the cybermen if they had points ignitions and kept breaking down.

“Amazon wanted us to see the first episode of the second season of The Grand Tour so badly that it invited us out to the show’s premiere in Brooklyn, where tons of food and an open bar also waited.)”

Yeah. We don’t even have one here in Colorado.

So Mitsubishi calls this the Eclipse but Toyota won’t call the new Supra a Supra? I guess one brand has a lot more to lose.

You may be on to something. Our friends in Great Britain have the spectrum pretty well covered

Honestly, though, it is pretty easy.

It’s 3/4 the way to awesome and 100% of the way to hideous.

Could you just pull the fuse on that belt slider motor and attach it manually? The motor is going to fail soon anyway, right? I’m not some libertarian no federal rules sort of guy, but that is a clear example of a regulation leading to undesirable results.

One of them is already American, of course.

I agree. It was less Cimarron more Catera.

I think that I may be the only one here who has driven one (ok, that may be the definition of “meh car”), but these things really did drive extraordinarily well. For some reason the front seem to have really good grip (some sort of geometry thing in the front that controlled camber precisely?) and it was very neutral.…

Tom is the most dis-disingenuous reporter around. You could maybe give that tag to Tavarish, but never Tom. Being a straight shooter is sort of his deal. And his job.

So what I’m seeing is that it has 365 HP and gets the same mileage as my 185 HP Fiat 500x. That’s just awesome.
