I love the elegant simplicity of that one - it’s as ridiculous as any of the giant chains of out-of-context words, but achieves it with only two letters.

Pretty much bang in line with the $16k starting price on a Fit though.

What year? F6A or Super Carry?
Pro-tip: keep a can of WD40 around in winter, the HT leads get condensation dripping down onto them (on the 8th gen Super Carry at least).

Figuring out that the bathroom is the room for shitting in is a start, I suppose.

Wait, is that a joke or is that accurate? He’s officially listed as the exact same weight as Homer Simpson?

Generally, yeah. The reason he’s got himself in this tangle, is that he’d been reassured that if a good offer came in, he’d get the move.

Skoda Rapid, it’s a coupe version of the later rear-engine ones from the ‘70s & ‘80s (the 4dr’s the Estelle in a few countries but sometimes just engine-sizes for names). I think the Rapid only came with the 1.3? Or maybe that was the only one they exported.

And to correct myself slightly; Cowley was originally just Morris, before doing MGs after Abingdon closed.

You’re just incredibly off with your history there.

Austin-Rover was privatised in ’89 - Jaguar was sold to Ford the second it was profitable in ‘88, then the rest was sold to British Aerospace as soon as it was breaking even.

BAe changed CEO, who didn’t want it - so they ran it on the cheap then looked to flip it as…

I need a big driveway before I load up on more cheap shitboxes.

Macau isn’t certified for F1 cars.
Because this happens...

It’s about the style too though; there’s a million and one versions in the same way that there’s always been a million and one versions of Minilites and now there’s loads of cheap Volk TE37 clones. When there’s a fashionable look there’s always a huge opening for cheap knockoffs.

Manuals for the Micra its based on are very easy to come by. Until you find that there’s a bolt that’s different between the two, I guess.

The K11s are still holding up traffic everywhere, but the K10s all rusted away years ago; I’d imagine the Paos are similar. You might want to look into rust-proofing.

You’re selling the mid & late ‘90s short there. A lot of rubbish, like always, but also a lot of really good stuff. It’s not so visually iconic as ‘80s, but there was a lot of good stuff going on.

Top 5, for sure. Probably top 3... but...

Torsion-bar rear, same as the AX/Saxo/ZX/Xsara/106/206/306.

It’s just Jezebel intersectionality; whenever someone says something a bit sexist, also accuse them of racism out of nowhere.

I’ve always wondered where the borderline between “You want to use our branded product, pay for it” and “you want your item in our tv show/movie/whatever, pay us” is, when it comes to this stuff.

Eh, Keanu Reeves could always do kind of insane. The “I WANT ROOM SERVICE” monologue was pretty Pacino-ey and that was a few years earlier.
