I mean I guess you could have some crazy linkage so when you turn the outboard motor it turns the wheels. What I can’t figure out is a good way to have brakes

Alternatively power to the ‘car’ could be provided to the VW transaxle via a driveshaft that would slot into a receiver on the outboard, opposite the propeller. I’m assuming Evinrude could make that happen, in theory. Still don’t know what you would do after launching the boat but it would probably make it cheaper.

I use to work on seatbelts for a living and one of the safety researchers our company deals with presented it this way:

There is nothing proper about a Focus, or my writing for that matter.

Good to hear! I’ve heard SYNC 3 is greatly improved but never used it. Frankly I don’t want the infotainment system at all if it can be avoided

I like it.

Yeah but all the Foci are going away in a few years. I’m using my tenses improperly

Ford has always been pretty conservative on their styling, for the most part. You might be right though. The Mustang might be the only one that would feel ‘special’ even in it’s base trim. Then again not a lot of cars from any company’s line up would feel really special in base trim, at least not until you start…

I mean they had the Fist, Fost and Focus RS, plus the Mustang so for a bit they at least has options even if you did have to put up with SYNC. I mean even a Transit Connect with a turbo would be interesting but it seems all they want to sell is crossovers and endless drivel about autonomous tech.

New Supra blah, blah, blah

Exactly. My household has 3 cars, a truck, and a motorcycle. So that makes 5 manuals. I’m only going auto for a daily when I either physically can’t push a clutch in or there just aren’t any cars left that meet my needs and have one. 

The infra-red cameras see through that but I don’t think this will. The linked Automotive News article states it’s optical (read visual spectrum) not infra-red

Yeah, we really need an EPA ‘dickbag’ driving cycle

Sounds plausible.

I’m only surprised it’s the slow Alfa that is catching on fire

I like it. Also it should shout that at you every time you start the car to make sure you are alert 

Well I’m referencing the Mercedes holiday commercials but logically being Nordic and being able to fly there is only one choice, Saab.

Only in in the low German dialect.

They probably don’t even need to change their entire line-up to do this. Why not have a CT-6V and a CT-6 Opulence?

So I had to Google Translate these and while the first one stumped Google
