I was wondering the same thing. The Ford Ka was a huge seller all over Europe, you’d hardly be able to not know about it if you were exposed to the European market at all.

“If you haven’t heard of the Ka before, you can be forgiven. It’s a teeny little subcompact that, for a while, was only available in Brazil but has since expanded to be sold in India, Mexico, South Africa, Argentina, and Europe.”

I know styling is subjective (outside of a few notable cases that EVERYONE agrees on), but, man, Toyota makes some SERIOUSLY ugly cars! I just scrolled through all the cars on their website and the only two there that weren’t hideous or “meh” were the 86 and the Corolla hatchback. Everything else looks like abstract…

I’m not sure about paint, but I’m pretty sure you can get retro-reflective vinyl.

Don’t forget all the Civic-like owners that will end up tinting the SHIT out of their front/rear lights.

I had a friend who bought one of these new. I got to drive it a few times. It was a real joy and I loved the look. I even tolerated the bumpers.

This sounds like a perfect opportunity to scream hurr durr aluminum is for sissies or something equally childish.

It it quite interesting how many hostile nations are funded by oil. Everything from the terrorist countries to Russia. The reason why the soviet union collapsed was due to their dependence on oil.

Not that an M3 or C63 is an epitome of low insurance costs, easy repairs and reliability.

Stoners are their own worst enemies when it comes to this, though. My brother-in-law is a former Colorado state trooper (retired last March) and he said he had a sizeable increase in DWHAF (driving while high af) charges on his shifts. He said it was a combination of all the stoners who moved to CO just to be high all…

The majority of people who “need” pot fall into that category........

This was bound to happen, and will continue to happen, probably even involve a fatality, because people are fucking dumb. It’s alarming the amount of people who have tried to tell me that driving high is “better than driving sober, and that it’s not even close as bad as driving drunk” (I shit you not, someone said…

Its like they have some kind of thinking impairment, or something else preventing them from making clear and cogent decisions or something.  

In New Zealand I only had one real problem: the wiper and turn signal controls were swapped. I kept turning on the wipers whenever I went to signal a turn. Then the same again at first when I got home. 

My wife and I did this exact same thing last week of June. Week long trek through Ireland from Dublin to Kilkenny to Cork to some tiny villages I cant remember, back to Kilkenny and Dublin again. In a manual diesel Opel Mokka.

I’ll take that bet. Almost everywhere in the World, Ferrari is the most popular F1 team, thus they will be picked more often.

Just in time for Saudi Arabia to jack oil prices and cause everyone to run back to fuel efficient vehicles... who am I kidding? Saudi Arabia is our friend and they’ve already been forgiven. It’s time for everyone to get rid of those tiny CUVs and step up to the new definition of full sized.

Didn’t know it was possible for a car that hasn’t been released yet to already look dated.

Holy shit, those kidneys... WTF BMW this is getting ridiculous.

Based on this video, it’s shocking they ever survived.
