That would be “turbo” lag

That’s one creepy picture - The Don and his ladies

They’ll let anyone with a driver’s license operate one of those things.

Fair enough, but I’d still go with the known (albeit imperfect) quantity over “Joe Bloggs Back Porch Motors Inc”

So do we - hence the resounding “CP”

Hats off for a seriously adventurous bit of car modding, but this is essentially a one-off built outside some dude’s garage in the suburbs. If I’m paying solid money for a used VW, I’d like to it to have been built by folks with some track record in building VWs (i.e., VW). The fact that he didn’t manage to complete…

The seatbelt -or lack of - doesn’t really put other road users at risk, short of the risk of flying out of the car and hitting someone else

Agreed - you need to like tinkering and be prepared to roll your sleeves up, but that’s half the fun, IMO

Don’t ever raise the image of “Stephen Miller leaking” ever again. I can’t afford the therapy

SLCs are pretty reliable if you keep up with the admitted higher level of routine maintenance. In 8 years, my TR6 has stranded me once, when the 45-year-old ignition switch crapped out. I replaced it with a $30 modern switch and all good again. Every few weeks I spend a few hours tweaking the ‘6, but that’s fun, not a…

Go to a British car show anywhere and you’ll quickly realize that Triumphs and MGs are the poor relations of the Small Leaky Car world - Healy’s and E-types are the rich uncles

Agreed - the frame is the key, closely followed by bodywork. Rust in either of these places can be expensive - pretty much everything else is easily and cheaply addressed, and aftermarket spares are readily available

Given how rust-prone the frames on these little devils are, the oil leak should be viewed as a feature, rather than a bug

Same way he could never find a good tailor - too cheap

the bad credit/Hertz counter brand

“Losing”.....I’d say that ship has already sailed, but it’s apparently broken...

So, a devoted bush explorer...like his former boss

I suspect that there’s a fair chance that this is how he’ll go - rage tweeting while simultaneously trying to squeeze out a toughie - his flabby circulatory system will just give up the ghost. The sad part is that it’ll likely be covered up - they’ll pull up his pants and sit him behind the Resolute desk, then spread…

I suspect neither does Donnie - he just likes the idea of commanding the biggest bestest fastest arm of the military. I’m waiting for some quiet legislation renaming it “Space Force, brought to you by The Trump Organization”
