Because Italy is definitely not a European country

If they have a 15 year old platform they can stuff a V8 into it meets the Mopar criteria 

So does that mean Citroen is now officially Mopar? Just checking.

Damn right. I’m swapping the dampers in one of my cars soon, and one thing I won’t cheap out on is the spring compressors I'll need.

This...actually makes sense? 

Something “Day of the Dead” or “Mayan”, the kind of stuff in all the Mexican souvenir shops. Actually black obsidian could look pretty good in the right sculpture.

Love that idea!

Yes, Hungary does this well:

You can actually see it ping out of the rear wheel well when the top mounting point breaks - I think that a lot of the energy that propelled it on to the balcony was actually the spring unloading.

I’d send that thing off to a shock dyno and then post the results...

IMHO it is a huge missed opportunity.

That’s not a Balcony, that’s a multi-story Souvenir stand.

It’s because of that new-fangled indeependent rear suspension. If that were a solid axle like god intended, he probably could have saved it with a really cool powerslide or some shit.

It turns out that love remains one of the best motivators when it comes to changing behavior.

If only there was an inexpensive tool the responders could carry for such occasions....

There are some things that we use because there is no better technology, like the ICE. It needed replacing, and better technology is coming along.

Fires are one thing that worry me about EVs. Having one charging in my garage makes me nervous, even if I know it’s slightly irrational. If it were to catch fire, my whole McMansion would be toast in like 5 minutes. It’s basically made out of graham crackers and elmer’s glue.

She’s missing a leg. You should see that nub wiggle when she has an itch.

Typically I fall in the camp of never touch a car/motorcycle ever, for any reason, at all, no exceptions!*
