I would make a care that was insanley light, had a screamer of an engine, no doors, windows, roof, saftey equipment of any kind to weigh it down, and could accelerate to ungodly speeds. Might even shave a couple of wheels to make it really agile. It would be like a bicycle with an engine. Maybe call it an enginecycle.

I remember an old story from Sport Compact Car. I think it was Jared Holstein got to drive a few corners (not even a full lap) in an F1 car. Just before he started, the French engineer leaned over and shouted ‘ziss caw iz more import-tant dan YOU!’

Because given the choice between a brand new car and something that looks old and isn’t 100% as good as the current model despite being highly romanticized through rose-tinted glasses, 99.99999999% of buyers would elect for the former.

Are you talking full factory refurbishments of used cars? Like what DeLoean Motor Company is doing where you can buy a completely OEM refurbished DMC-12?

Lightweight, rear engine, RWD, with the minimum of features needed to make it somewhat livable (basically, seats, gauges, heater, and maybe a radio if you want to pay extra to get all fancy).

Recumbents are fantastically fun. I’ve never seen them outside of bike trails though. Would be rightly terrifying on an actual road.

Because nobody with any actual money wants them. If they did, the Singer Porsche is there, and you ruled that out for that very reason.

Just lightly build the revs up to a near-comatose 10,000 rpms and let the clutch go as if you saw a spider on your foot. It’s easy!

A shocking amount of garbage too though...

I want to drive a car which looks like a doorstop.

“Irishman wins bout in sport that really should be banned.”

To be fair, “Washington Football Team” is also very misleading.

Not much to say. I look forward to catching a replay of the 2nd half of the fight on a vine.

I think Prestige is the dealership.

RE #1

If it was still running, and the insurance probably totals the car....I can think of some Jalops who could use a bulletproof 5.0 Liter 2UR-GSE V8.......

I use my turn signal all the time, but then I also know how to use tools so I am not the typical BMW owner.

You’d hope, but HIPAA laws would probably prevent it.

No joke. I saw a woman in an X3 yesterday use her turn signal at an intersection. Of course it was after she swerved between 2 lanes for the previous mile all without bothering to signal once.
