I own a 14 year old Land Rover and a 46 year old Triumph TR6... so I am not allowed to comment on reliability.

I know it’s not as loved, but we rented a (Fiat) Abarth 124 in Italy and I would buy that before the Miata. Sorry.

When I was fresh out of college and working for a Enterprise Rent a Car, we had a few Mazda 3 hatchbacks with the 2.3(?) liter in them, and they were among my favorite car to take out.

Hey! It’s on BaT right now at $19k... I’m sure it won’t go any higher.

Back then the Kia Optimas and Hyundai Sonatas were in the Intermediate category (it went: Compact, Intermediate, Standard, Full), one below the PT.

What an odd quirk.

We got a Disco 2 last year. The first thing I did was replace the head gasket. Din’t “need” it, but I wasn’t going to wait until it did.

I barely made it through 20 minutes of RP1. I knew it was going to be garbage from the opening shot that shows the main character leaving his house in a trope-y “look how slick he is” manner.

Lancia Stratos Zero:

This guy does make the rounds to the shows. This was from this year’s show, but I think he was there last year, too.

2. The producers will sometimes dub in in starter sounds and engine noise for hybrids. Or you’ll see an implied motion of someone turning a key for a car that has standard push-button start.

He has batteries up front and in the rear. He said that because the original Spitfire motor was an iron block, the suspension was substantial enough to be able to add the electric motor and batteries up front. However, he had upgrade the suspension in the rear for the bank back there (which I did see, but don’t have a…

Three things:

How about this car that may or may not be a 1975 Stutz:
