I thought the bit was funny. What i really came to talk about was Did anyone else notice they pulled up in three cars manufactured in finland?

On a cheap family/commuter car I really like a drum and think they get a bad rap.

Lotus Esprit SE One of the Best Esprits. Should have plenty of change to keep it going.

This silly belt vs chain debate just won’t die.

Yeah right. they’re just saying that. I’m willing to get that 50% of 2004 era GTs have less than 30k miles on them. With all of them acumiluatlating less and less milage since their values doubled, seemingly overnight, a few years back.

This is more a lesson in physics: 4,300lbs vs 2,300 lbs

GREAT NEWS! Ford made a 1998 Volvo into yet product.

Let’s hope it get’s worse, Matt pissing off Evan’s could provide the entertainment component. With Sabine handling the car stuff.

I don’t get why people are so shocked about the prospect of jail time.

You are being ignorant of the fact that car purchases are as much an emotional purchase as a sensible one.

Then unheard of ?

Not quite, Hondamatic is something else entirely.

I've always thought this was pretty neat.

I thought the main beef was the raising of the suspension which wrecked the handling.

Also depending on what you do for a living, and how rich you are, you might find it surprisingly difficult to emigrate.

I think they bring them in under the "significantly similar" being that V and Zeta platform cars were already sold in the US. But imagine they also fit US emissions controls, federalized lights. They also use a US market OE firewall in their LHD conversion.

They sandbag for many reasons.

It does look that way, but its happening due to chassis rigidity.
