Entering a Japanese car assembled in the US hardly merits notice, hence the reason nobody did.

This:

The K-Car -it saved Chrysler, it popularized the minivan, it resurrected the convertible in North America, the turbo models were quick for the 80's, and they even managed to get a limo out of it (maybe not a great one, but good enough for a retired Richard Nixon).

In a couple of months none of this will matter.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m starting to think that this Elon guy isn’t such a good dude.

Not too bad, since they cranked the ventilation. Movie theaters were pretty bad tho, and restrooms. Every single urinal worldwide would be choked with butts.

The Murano was “always a looker?” Are you high? All the time?

Toyota will sell you a Camry or a RAV4, for about the same price with about the same features. Through Q3 of this year in the U.S., over 100,000 more RAV4s were sold than Camrys. That’s what people want.

I remember flying near the smoking section as a kid. It was disgusting and the overheads were noticeably coated in a yellow film from the tar. One of my aero professors smoked his pipe so much the walls of his office were yellow along with his hair!

Never once had that happen. But I’m probably a lightweight, as I start having a bad time north of 15 mg. And I grew up with asthma, so I don’t smoke if I can help it.

I can’t imagine what smoking-allowed flights must have been like.

Could be the slowest race in GP history. Instead of a chicane, the course should include a drive-through lane, and the driver has to hold an order of fries between their knees until they finish eating them. Then they can tactically throw the empty container over their shoulder.

Gummies, y’all.  Gummies.

Good thing alcohol never stinks up a city....

I’d say that’s the least sad part!

Before the (very recent) advent of consumption lounges, the only place to legally use cannabis was in one’s own private property... which left tourists with no place to go.

Because they are regulated, it is completely illegal to consume cannabis in a casino/hotel. If caught, not only is the individual in trouble, but…

I’m with you on BMW’s terrible design choices of recent years.

well the event is held in the middle of the city so I would assume many residents/visitors/tourists just smoke freely around the city.

And Las Vegas resident could say the same thing about the event itself. The F1 grand prix stinks up a part of the city for a few days, creates traffic, congestions, higher prices, yada…

Audi’s move into the boring luxury market in the 90s.

1. Rebranding Mustang to basically be anything, including a blob of an EV CUV
