I can say that the Tesla Model X isn’t quite there yet. My (wealthy) friends who just got theirs report it still can’t handle the “Summon” function, especially for put-away.

How about the weirdest on average? Cause my dad brought home something odd every chance he got. From the 71 Honda Z600 to the 60 Ford Ranchero to the 57 BMW Isetta, it was never boring.

I think of The Big Bang Theory as symptomatic of the anti-intellectual fervor the US is under. Look, they’re smarter than us! But it’s ok, because they’re pathetic and weird. So we’re still better than they are.

66 is a difficult year. Lots of one-year-only stuff, like taillights and turn signals. And while the front of the car is shared with Valiant, the rear has a lot of unique bits. Like those taillights - in Valiant, the middle piece is plain while Barracuda got an extra reflector with molding. No turn signal indicators…

You can buy a kit to put a 5 speed in any XJS. And then you could have it with a V12, which is why God created the XJS.

Renegade is smaller than Compass/Patriot. Cherokee is larger than Compass/Patriot. More importantly, there is a price gap that needs to be exploited. And since ‘Murrica can’t get enough SUVs, and there’s a CUSW chassis with adjustable bolt rails for the mockups in Auburn Hills (you know, where the K body used to serve…

I’m genuinely confused why we care. It’s a Taurus in a designer suit, right?

That script is also on the dash, so you can shove anyone’s face into it if they don’t know it’s a Fulvia.

May I suggest a rating system for awesome badges? And also nominate this Fulvia for 5++ star rating, due to that script being on the dash too?

Jeebus, here we go again.

I can't even imagine how hot the interior must get. My Kombis were tough to live with in Southern California, and they have a fraction of the glass area. Hope a bunch of that glass opened!

Not a problem. It’s a Lancia, so most electrical items won’t work anyway. Unless you don’t want them to.

I’m going with Spiderman. He’s strong enough to break rusted stuff loose, can lift car by web or sheer strength, but mainly because he can still retrieve that one tool he needs without climbing out from underneath.

Is anyone else instantly turned off when sellers cover the license in their pics? I mean, really, is there a crime syndicate just waiting to crank out clones of YOUR plate now that it’s on Craigslist?

Come on, we’re better than when we were Nazis. Honest.

That’s why the XJ-S was perfectly happy with a three speed auto. It really doesn’t need to shift. When my shift modulator went south, it was weeks before I even noticed because the engine just doesn’t care.

Oh, that’s easy. The one in my garage.

Pretty sure a combination of karma and Darwinism will eventually take care of it, but had my gob not been entirely smacked at her response, I might have done so - and with a completely clear conscience.

HOLYMOTHEROFGAWD this is single worst driving faux pas possible.
