“Like the remora and pilotfish, the Lancia Beta has evolved to ‘hitch a ride’ on others since it cannot reliably make its way to food sources on its own.”

Wow, second comment and it’s straight to being an asshole. Bravo.

Who writes 63/200 inches? Just go decimal. 0.315"

Tesla simply can’t do it with the old hardware they say they could do it with! The new hardware, which they say they can do it with, is much faster.

I missed this, but the Buick 215. All-aluminum, lightest V-8 in the world at the time. First delivered in 1960, I think, still in production on the other side of the ocean 30 + years later.

Yep, I believe the Mk3 Cabrio was sold alongside the Mk4 Golf for a period of time (until 2002 I think).

No love for Mr. Two?

The obviously correct answer is Opel Calibra Turbo, by the way.

So, do you always throw in a dash of sexism when you are through your “being a dumbshit” morning routine, or is that a Tuesday special kind of thing?

Well, somebodys gotta do it.....
