I still want to find out the story of how this got produced as an official Tatra promotional film in early sixties Czechoslovakia. The sense of humor makes perfect sense when I think of the people I know who come from that place and time but I’m still curious as to how it got approved by the company and the…

Not as desirable as one of these (too bad about the audio glitch in the clip):

My father seemed to believe that people in Quebec only spoke that funny language to annoy him and felt that every part of Canada east of the Rockies should sink into the sea and be devoured by crabs. Even he absolutely loved Montreal.

Stuff and nonsense, all those options! Get a Citroen 2CV. That will stand out just fine from the crowd. Use the extra $100K or so and buy a nice classic Cessna 140 and learn to fly if you want. Or spend more and get a Tatra 603. One of those will stand out like a tarantula on a slice of angel food:

Still better than Toyota - their logo looks like an naughty Venn diagram drawn by a twelve year old on the classroom blackboard while the teacher was out of the room.

This is the same Wall Street that loved Enron, WorldCom etc., etc. Not that I think Ford is doing particularly well but I have my doubts about the clarity of Wall Streets crystal ball. On the other hand, if I was looking for advice about committing larceny and accounting control fraud...

So... their best quarter so far lost billions, the average ride is a money loser subsidized by investor cash even after they dropped driver pay and now they’re going to try scooters? So much for “when you’re in a hole, stop digging.” They’ve decided to dig harder and flood the hole with raw sewage hoping they’ll float.

A genuine 300Km range minimum - by which I mean 300Km in hot or cold weather, highway cruising or stop and go traffic. Reliability (which I want from any car), and a price I can afford - no more than $40,000 here in Canada. Oh, and I also don’t want a car where I have to use a touch screen for everything including chan…

Back when Stirling Moss was driving for Rob Walker’s team, Walker asked him for advice on buying a new car. Moss said “Whatever you get, make sure it comes with an automatic. I won’t own a road car without one. Get a Facel Vega.”

Seems like it would be the other way around but I went from a black car to a white one and noticed the same thing. I’m actually not crazy about white but being a glider pilot I kind of had to learn to love it. The vast majority of composite sailplanes have it as a condition of their type certificate that the finish…

“Gray has become the top color for new-car buyers in the UK”

“roof boobs”! :-) There is (was? I haven’t seen it on the streets in a long time) Fiat Abarth 750GT Zagato in Vancouver. That’s the car I’m reminded of every time I see any car that has even a hint of a double bubble roof shape. From now on the phrase “roof boobs” is going to pop into my mind too.

Why did they gave the 7 series a Hitler mustache?

I wanted to love the Supra, I don’t. I still hope it will sell well enough that sports cars continue to be seen as viable by the major manufacturers. If it tanks I would bet there won’t be replacements for the Z, Miata, 86/BRZ etc. in the future.

I’m bummed that UX (infotainment screens) is even something that has to be considered when buying most new cars.

You’re probably just burnt out on the Supra because of how long it’s been teased - 200 years according to the latest video on Jalopnik. Familiarity breeds contempt as they say.

I figured the styling out. As a Lexus it needs to be distinguished from the lowly Toyotas. We all know about the “Camry dent” that Toyota owners have to apply to their car. The Lexus, being upmarket, comes from the factory pre-dented. They went to great lengths to curate a special selection 0f the finest dents…

I own a 370... I haven’t seen it shit on any other cars yet. Do you think it could be sneaking away at night and doing it?

I dunno... to take the most extreme example go look at a 2000GT - it’s beautiful. I can’t look at one without crying myself to sleep in the knowledge I’ll never even get to sit in one let alone own one.

I hope it looks better in person than it does in the pictures, and I really do want it to be a success... but I’m not optimistic. It’s not going to be within my budget anyways so Toyota isn’t going to care about my opinion:-)
