That shows a level of commitment to a single car that borders on compulsive. Not to mention a level of driving skills mixed with luck to avoid accidentsnover all those years. I'm impressed.

Since he knew what is the question. Right?

Was this version sold in the US? I've never seen one. I live in California and went all the way to New Mexico to get a 4wd version, back in 95. The early days of car shopping on the Internet. It's one of Jose cars where other people driving them wave as they pass, and people would often come over to talk about it at…

Not to mention the 4WD version is a capable off-roader. And you can fld down the back seats and carry 4x8 sheets of plywood in there.

Kinda looks like they they did the design models out of Lego.

"That car really gets spinning after the impact. Impressively, the driver walks away unharmed, and even manages to grab her jacket and purse with a very "oh well, fuck it" kind of demeanor."

I had one of these and it was amazing, but then any of the older cab-forward minivans were like that. My old 1963 Volkswagon camper van was small by modern standards but ther was an apartment in there. The only down side is the people in the front seats become the crumple zone for head-on impacts.

An estimated 43% of accidents happen in intersection, I don't see a reason to make these more dangerous e than they already are by increasing the speed at the moment of impact. Freeways with no cross traffic are another story.

One of my favorite things about an old stem engine is it will run on anything that you can toss in the furnace and get to burn. Your fuel choices are almost endless.

I don't think blasting through intersections is a good idea, but there are stretches of freeway I've been on where opening up throttle doesn't seem to be a threat to anyone. Crossing Nevada at 100 mph doesn't seem crazy as long as you slow down for those rare inhabited areas.

Back in the days of two stroke 500cc GP bikes. those things were a handful. I saw them run at Laguna Seca back in 87 if my memory is correct. Lawson crashed out in a practice run because a mechanic forgot the retainer pins for the front brake pads. I remember sitting at the hairpin watching the bikes come down the…

I remember driving a 210 when it was only a few years old, and it was one of the most underpowered cars I have ever driven, and I usually like small underpowered cars. To give this car a track paint scheme, and not add any power upgrades would make this thing embarrassing to drive outside of a 24 hours of lemons race.…

At least it has a for sale sign in the window. My guess is the owner values the car to high, no one buys it so it rots in the field. I've seen this many times. I know a guy that has a Rambler 220 that he bought new sitting in front of his house. He hasn't driving it in years because a family member gave him a modern…

Looks like right around 1987 Detroit was like an 18 year old who had been given a no limit credit card with no explanation that it's not a magic card, and you have to pay all that money back. I've seen this happen on a smaller scale more than once.

I'm happy to see that hamsters aren't being left out of the driving equation.
