A bigger question is, would Lockheed stay in Texas once the U.S. no longer has any reason to do any business with that former state?

There is actually one very good part of this movie: When Ashton Kutcher gets hit by a car.

The real question is why you think California’s standards dictate the standards for the whole country? This is a pretty clumsy red herring.

“Air pollution is localized”

Still, not as bad as Texas.

Nearly half of Texas’ economy is in government contracts. They’d be in a much, much, worse position than California if they seceded.

The old-fashioned spun aluminum Centerline style wheels have been (and seem to still be) popular in Japan. These look like they’re just trying to imitate that look, but replacing the rivets that hold Centerline wheels together with some cooling holes, which would make a lot more sense for a one piece wheel.

I have to be honest, Matt was by far the worst presenter the reboot of the show has had. Awkward and unfunny, I found it difficult to sit through any segment he was a part of. Once he’s gone the show may be watchable.

Why didn’t you take the Yugo?

Here’s the thing about influence. I’d argue the Mini had little to no influence on Japanese automakers. Suzuki followed Lloyd’s path, and essentially established a branch of evolution of front wheel drive that simply circumvented the Mini’s influence. The Japanese didn’t have to look to the Mini because they got their…

The prewar DKWs put the engine behind the transmission, not beside it. The first production car to put the engine and transmission inline and transversely mounted was the SAAB 92 (and it must be stated that this layout was not copied from any other car, no DKW was ever laid out this way, even if the prototype SAAB…

Most of their copies were licensed. Mitsubishi made Jeeps and the Henry J, licensed from Kaiser. Hino licensed from Renault. Isuzu from Hillman. The only unauthorized copy that I can think of is Datsun ripping off Crosely (of all companies) - which they were heavily criticized for in Japan, but so far as I know…

And look, there’s the Suzulight Fronte, which predates the 1959 Mini, but has a two box design, front wheel drive, and a transverse mounted engine - despite the Mini fans claiming their car was the one to introduce all those things to the world.

Yeah but don’t you weigh enough to cancel that out?

A toilet that tilts up into the wall? What could go wrong?

This is known as

One thing Porsches are very known for are not being as reliable as Saabs.

Same thing happened with my SAAB in the same area. Was very unhappy to be going uphill in thin air.
