Supplement the Ambulance’s siren with a mine flail on the front bumper?

Nah, hate to break it to you but the original joke wasn’t terribly funny in the first place.

The engineer in me says that it’s impossible for them to stop at exactly the same moment in time

Plus the practical side. Medieval reenactment equipment is expensive. It’s nice to have a place to store things, lock them up, and not have windows peering into valuables.

I actually had to stop, go back, and reread the details to be sure this wasn’t my wife’s uncle.

My reaction summarized:

It’s probably going to end up being a fleet queen.  Who gets to drive the 4 cylinder?  All those proud drivers of fleet trucks.

Back in the day, a Brooke cost way more than a Rolls-Royce

Land Rover?

I think it depends on where you live too. If the air is relatively clear and dust free, it might be OK to go with a K&N oiled filter. I might have done it 20 years ago in my town. But lately, we have so much construction going on.

But can it jump?

Can confirm. Several years ago in my area we had several OD’s in a local High School. A bunch of kids from the HS on the rich side of town (kids with Audis rich) were getting drugs from a county over.

Now that the community of car enthusiasts successfully killed it and had it replaced by something they hate ever more, they cry and want it back.

My grandfather once said that the two foulest four-letter words in the whole English language are “work” and “snow”.

I didn’t say GT Premium.  I am rocking an Ecoboost (and no, I don’t regret it one bit).

36 year old electrical engineer here. I was actually rather interested in it, but I am about 20 years too early in my career to be considering a $75k+ car. I am more at the “new Volvo/Infiniti/Acura/Buick or used E-class/CTS/GS” phase of my career.  In my case, I went with a fully loaded Mustang Premium.

Alternate headline. 5,000 soldiers are bored but “at least we didn’t get sent to Afghanistan!”

Unlike the GTI, however, the Veloster N is only available with a manual gearbox, which is great in my eyes, but will likely hamper sales in direct comparison with the German.

I don’t know for sure, but I suspect that if there is anything it’s language that was wormed into the NAFTA treaty. Something like “we agree to respect Mexico’s trademarks on Tequila”.
