I’m in France right now for work, and my colleagues here are quite bemused by my rubbernecking at various C3s, new DSs, Espaces of all ages (except the new, kinda sad Nissan-infected ones) and every damn R5 I can find.

Don’t forget Renault’s solution in the Avantime (or Matra’s, to be more correct, I guess): nifty hinges that minimize the outward swing

Does it feel substantial, like a heritage Jag, or not? I know I’m not explaining this well, but certain generations of Jaguar don’t feel right. For reference, I have an XJ-S. It feels right. The XK8 almost does, but the XJ40 generation doesn’t. Nor did the X300, though my exposure was limited.

I really don’t understand why so many assume the XJS is unreliable. The engine is basically bulletproof, and that’s a GM TurboHydramatic transmission. Yes, you want an HE or later where the ignition module doesn’t cook itself, but what else is so wrong?

So the car I drove in high school wasn’t a car at all - it was a 73 International Scout II.

So did Mitsubishi, circa 1990. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubish…

No, it isn’t. That’s akin to saying that someone who doesn’t approve of a Nazi gassing a Jew is intolerant. The position of the Nazi is wrong, so it’s not being intolerant to state that fact.

Intolerance of intolerance is not intolerance.

Here ya go, sport. Let me know if you want to arrange a test drive.

Pay no attention to that pesky price tag - IT’S A MODEL X. IT’S STUPID FAST. And seriously, everyone stares at you like crazy, even in ritzy titzy Southern California beach towns.

Hey, ignore all that bad news and buy my friend’s Model X! http://autoconsignmentofsandiego.com/index.php?main…

I’m just thinking of the pain in the ass it will be to address the inevitable Super Beetle McDeath Wobble when it manifests.

The one and only thing I enjoy about flying a 757 is that you board amidship, right at the bulkhead that separates “first class” and steerage. It sucks that I’m typically in one of those exit row seats, so people are tripping over me, dragging their bags across my lap instead of just my shoulders, and glaring at ME…

If I were the CEO of Mitsubishi, I would be looking for any excuse to resign. ANY.

Know when you’re out of your depth. I used to spend countless hours sweating and swearing at my “fun project” cars, to the point I hated them by the time they were driveable again.

Well, it sure beats my Facebook newsfeed at the moment, so carry on.

Send me your email if you’re serious (i.e. have $100K to spend on a car) and I’ll give you their email.

Yeah, you got me there, amigo. Totally made up. Along with their photos of the delivery, emails with their initial happy anticipation, irritated lack of communication from Tesla about delivery date, and now complete disinterest on the sales rep’s part about the X’s apparent inability to know if there is/isn’t solid…

They could park their cars, but it was laborious and time consuming. Also limited the cars they could buy because of the initial steep drive, tight garage space and very limited space to reverse. They had kept the Infinity FX45 precisely because it could handle the incline and the exterior cameras helped a lot. Plus…
