The rear wheels can go with or against the front wheels, depending on your needs. In fact, the 4WS on the old Prelude did the same. At highway speed the first few degrees of turn was a crab walk to make safe lane changes while at low speeds they turned against each other for sharper turns.

If they could put the fuel tank and an adequate the cooling system in the rear, you could almost disconnect the entire rear subframe - suspension and all - from the chassis, and just lift the rear of the car up and roll the whole assembly out from underneath.

You failed to mention that car brakes actually contribute to global warming! Have you ever felt the heat that comes off those things?

Let what sink in? The casual racism or the casual bigotry?

That could explain it. I've been traveling to India since I was a kid (~50 years) and have also experienced, in Africa, at least the 2CV among the cars listed here. The 2CV always seemed much more powerful (admittedly a very relative measure). Could be that the Ambassador engines are completely clapped out, or could…

Me.

I was going to say this same thing, but also ask if anyone had used both and what the $80 one offers over Dash. For $15 (plus a dash mount for my phone), Dash has made a world of difference in my driving. Aside from the 10+% increase in MPG, I am now a much more calm driver. L.A. drivers drive me fucking insane and…

That reminds me of this.

No, re-evolved. Look, the oil started out as a living dinosaur/reptilian thing, died, became oil, then re-evolved — as in evolved all over again, from the primordial oil ooze — into a living reptilian thing in the engine sump. Devolved would be, say, more something like a higher primate turning into some sort of being…

Here's one from last year. They are working on getting as many of them working as possible.

It's a BAe 146-200. Little thing, seats about 85 people. Getting quite rare now, most carriers are replacing them with Embraer E-Jets or the larger CRJ variants. This particular one is in a business jet configuration, operated by Cello Aviation.

Now you're just being silly.

No it really does. See an old car like that would have a 3 speed automatic with overdrive or a 4-spd transmission, carbureted engine, points ignition system, etc. and non-adjustable timing (except vacuum or mechanical advance probably, but not valve timing). Not to mention the redline on older large V8 engines…

Taken seriously by who? The 110 million people worldwide who read us every month?

I know it's fast, and the brakes are nuts, but what really floored me the first time I saw it was the traction control!

To all those who sort of don't get it, or think that because it's a pushrod V-6 originally designed in the late 50s that it's junk, or think that because it's a GM product from the 80s that isn't a B-body, Corvette, or full-size truck that it's junk, let me end this run-on sentence and use an analogy you may…

I learned in my dads 1996 F350 Crewcab Longbed 4x4 7.5Lv8 5-speed. I turned 14, and was given the keys, along with a piece of paper from the base commander saying I was permitted to operate motor vehicles on his facility. By 16 I had already been driving for 2 years.
