Someone who lives near my parents has this bike’s predecessor and I’ve almost crashed my car staring at it as he rode by because it’s so gorgeous. Those big heads poking out from either side of the chassis is such a badass look.

Why? Often times, when caps enter a recycling facility’s sorting process, they get sorted out because of their small size, and are then sent to landfills. As such, caps are now among the most common trash items found in our oceans (which also end up in the food chain when ingested by sea life).

I’d imagine the penalty laps are still in place for vehicles that really, really don’t fit the nature of the event. I mean, when this is the starting-off point:

It’s because every collector is different, generalization is impossible, and articles like these don’t help.

Every machine is a compromise, and if you don’t absolutely need performance, it’s amazing how much capability you can get for minimal outlay. That’s something Americans used to know as well...

Kind of ruins the point if there are high budget teams involved. I would have preferred a hard limit on the budget and seen a lot of this:

Every time I think I appreciate the weird and unloved vehicles of the world, Torchlopnik enters and quickly informs me that I’m purely an amateur. Torch is in a different league of weird car appreciation. 

Two interesting things about that engine:

How I imagine Torch reacting when learning about this Isetta

Was the captain named Kinja?

Missed it by ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᵐᵘᶜʰᵎ

Right there!  You cross right there!

I’d have hoped that if I were on the bridge I would have noticed the ship and stopped (or sped up) before the collision. You don’t want to end up like the nine vehicles in front of this one:

It was probably “hung over Russian” with a .086 after sleeping it off.
