    That’s the best part!

    I’ve got a soft spot for big ol’ ugly American chod cars of the 70’s and 80’s.

    One day I’ll actually get round to buying one, I’m sure.

    If someone can ship it over to me in the UK, I’d drive the hell out of it.

    I have never seen a YouTube video I’d be willing to pay for. YT is for random cat videos, Russian dashcam footage and people hurting themselves in idiotic ways.

    Oh, the blimpmanity...

    Racing.

    The best part about working in IT is that our accounts bypass the internet filter.

    Fact: People in IT have already clicked on it. I know I did.

    I do not want my car, autonomous or not, to have a fucking emoji face.

    It’s pretty much the dictionary definition of development, but y’know.

    Um, code? In a car? What witchcraft is this?

    Well, it was first patented in the late 20’s, so obviously the design was conceived and worked on prior to that. Makes over 80 years by my counting.

    Which is all fine in a niche, race car, maintained by experts/enthusiasts, but it’s pretty much useless in a production vehicle. Most people don’t remember to put in oil when the warning light comes on, let alone every fill.

    They’ve had what, over 80 years to play with it, and it’s still high maintainance, low economy and poor emissions.

    Well, no one’s really managed so far.

    Well, I guess that’s a load of Mazda RX-8 replacements to be used as body donors, after the engines inevitably grenade themselves.

    Yeah, I’m amazed that 400’s still going. Wonder how many engine rebuilds it’s had over the years!

    It’s expensive, but old RD’s are hella fun. Loud, brash and you just *have* to thrash them to get the most out of ‘em.

    *Nothing* beats a good, fresh piece of bread and some good butter.

    Certainly way better than stringy, boney shite chicken meat smothered in crap.
