Unless it’s diamonds or Top Secret plans, there isn’t much you could smuggle there to make it worth more than the car itself. This car is the Bandit to the Snowman two cars back in the anonymous Camry with a trunk full of.....snow.

You can’t blame the author, it’s not like ‘Cal State University LB’ is written on the doors or anything......

I’m putting my 401K into Charmin futures now!

“Both Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso showed why they’re past Formula One world champions today.” ——Lewis is actually the current World Champion. I get what you were trying to say but the sentence is worded a bit strangely.

My engineer friend who went to MIT and used to work for FORD in the 90s said if i’m not doing a lot of highway driving it’s no biggie to use the cheap stuff. Premium for road trips and highway speeds though. note--i live in an actual city where speeds above 30 are rare.

Welcome to the Gwar!

Why do those tires still have tread left? Plant that foot!

Not quite. When I bought it I made a comparison chart with a Honda Fit—-They actually have pretty similar specs. the P-car weighs about 2200 pounds and the Fit is now 2500-2600 pounds.

I live in Maryland, a blue state with all sorts of government fees and inspections. The safety inspection is only done when buying a new car, after that it’s up to the owner. They do check emissions every two years which means i need to take a hour off of work and have someone peak in my car to see if the check engine…

Remember, this is a UK car and presumably has recently had to pass a fairly stringent MOT inspection. Wear items like suspension parts and brakes are measured and replaced if out of spec. Unlike a 20-year old M3 here in the US that may come from a state with little or no mandatory safety inspections.

you’re wrong.

Because they are redundant?

Maybe you should stop posting.

This one is better. Still hand built—-just a little bit faster than the lazy Italians building Ferraris ;)

Not quite mass-produced. There’s a lot of hand work involved in 70s P-cars.

Ice Cube’s a pimp.

I’d say he ‘oversaw’ helicopter operations and not ‘overlooked’ them.

They kidnapped a family member of a multi-Billionaire who happens to be a friend of Putin? I’m sure those kidnappers will receive fair treatment while in prison.
