This trend of put square headlights on cars that don’t match from the late 1970's was the darkest era of automotive design

My dad's Chevrolet Vectra is like that. It has four buttons on top of the dash. But one is exclusive for manual transmission cars and other for automatic transmission models. On the hatchback is worse, because you don't have the trunk opener, so it only has two working buttons. 

I’ve seen regular hatchbacks taller than the GLA. And with better ground clearance 

Torch, you gonna love the blank gauges from late 1990's and 2000's Brazilian cars.

The best thing on my Honda Fit’s CVT transmission is the absence of fake gears. When I’m climbing a step hill (very common where I live) the CVT makes the engine stays a 3,000 rpm where the torque peaks and the car climbs like a champ despiste the 1.3 engine having the same torque as a hamster. And on the highway

Did they talked about your hair this time?

In the metric system is even easier to calculate, because 1 litre of water wights 1 kilogram. 

Pretty much. People who drove this car says that it has a great chassis for a FWD roadster. But against the Miata, the Z3 and the MR2 the Elan didn’t had a chance

It wasn’t bad, the problem was the competitors being so good and cheaper

Hey! Brazilian buildings have good construction quality, the issue here is illegal changes on the project. Specially to add pools. Or that time where beach sand was used in one, but everyone involved with it was arrested 

In this case is more a “welcome to Brazil”. The most common thing here is a civil engineering company design a building structure and after the building is done or during the construction some rich asshole (most of the times with political connections or rich enough to be above the law) decides he wants a pool or

Thanks, that is so nice. We need to put “hot ass” as our motto in the flag, the stuff wrote that lost it’s meaning 

The police is looking for an Italian plumber with a large moustache 

This car was quite popular in Brazil at the time and was nicknamed “hot ass” due the rear engine that constantly overheated. 

The dude in the video says he towed other cars this way. He have a talent 

Remember NFS Hot Pursuit? You had supercars and straightforward races with police chase, no casino and festival like in TDU2. 

Now playing

Wait, pull the car by a control arm or the sway bar? I always tough the correct way is to pull the car by the engine block

Can we please have a racing game with supercars that isn’t a ostentatious tacky rich people fantasy? I gave up from TDU2 because of that

Oh no, the bourgeois who buys these Jeeps here don’t want to change gears, this is for the poor. As I said, it is FCA bending the legislation just to offer this engine. Still better than Mitsubishi who says the electronic off-road assists on the Outlander can be considered as a low range, BMW also do this with the X5.

Well, even with the low range the Gladiator can’t be sold with a diesel engine here, because for trucks the legislation only allow diesel engine for trucks with 1 metric ton of payload or more. Crazy legislation from the 70's to protect the trucker lobby.
