This question was answered in 1984 via mankind’s crowning cinematic achievement, Red Dawn:

I get that they don’t like it which is fine, but going FWD really makes sense for them on these platforms. The 2-series coupe was robbing them of a lot of small car sales vs MB and Audi since their smallest have 4-doors. They’re also both FWD. with all the safety equipment required in cars plus all the tech robbing…

Arizona, California, and Nevada are a quick flight away if you’re as obsessed as David is.

I’ve mentioned this to David with every rust heap he buys. There are hundreds of ZJ’s that’ll take the body harness, engine harness, pedal box, and driveline from the rust bucket. All of these are selling for basically scrap value, just sitting around here in the south, rust free.

Yeah, how dare he (checks notes) drive a car around a track without saying anything

Um @Porsche, this word Turbo does not mean what you think it does

It’s climate week, we’re all about recycling.

Here’s what Torch said about it:

I dunno, Germany and Italy teaming up makes me a little nervous. 

ME: “I’m just going to pop over to Jalopnik and read the headlines, then get some work done.”

6500 MPH is ~9533 FPS. 1 G of acceleration would be 32'/s squared, so just to accelerate to 9533 FPS at 1G would take just under 5 minutes at a constant 1g. During accel, you’d have covered 352 miles. Decel is the same time and speed. So, assuming san fran is 2900 miles from NYC (google maps), that leaves 2196 miles…

Twelve valve 4-cyl? Was that the standard Honda 2L at the time? 3 per cylinder isn’t something I’ve heard of before.

neutral: i had a lot of welding projects loved up but the price of raw materials is brutal right now. guess it will wait.

Definitely in the running. There are still thousands of Airs roaming the Detroit area, at least in the summer. But Mike Ballaban has a strict ‘No Bel-Airs’ rule for the staff, and we wouldn’t want to awaken the rage that is always bubbling just below his calm, collected exterior.

This is my serious answer too. Not many haters for a '57 Bel-Air.

A well thought out response deserves a star, especially a response to a comment with so much tongue in cheekiness, and also because you didn’t just call me moran who hates America.

So the puddle of money left over after they have spent it all stateside on all the various expenses you outlined goes back to Japan, and what? Like, into a big room full of Yen that Corp execs swim in? Do they give it to the Emperor (respectfully)? Do they throw it all in the streets and proclaim “this is America…

Most definitely. Half shafts and transmission gone. Propelled exclusively by exhaust thrust. A hair slow off the line but a beast from 30-150. Don’t stop too close behind it at a light or it’ll melt your front plate right off. 

Neutral: Fuck it, I’ll compare it to the fast food industry.

Alas, local police are being real sticklers about returning what “belongs to the bank” or whatever.
