To a large extent the similarity is given by the water cooled layout and its position. However, the exhaust ports straight out the side thereby avoiding the long swoopy “sleigh runner” look of the Honda. (Yes, I know that there was a turbo variant at 500cc that was clad in aero gear that had more compact exhaust, and…

Local VW has one with 3 pedals and it only $2k > MSRP. That is indeed special in this day and age. ( I am actually impressed they have a manual car; but not the pricing.)

Simple solution: avoid Ohio!

A couple of years ago we got two roundabouts in my San Diego neighborhood.  I have grown to like them. 

I so thought that was a prop. 

There should have been an escort vehicle, routes mapped and viable train contacts. The insurance companies and their lawyers will spend more than few billable hours on this one. What a waste of resources; but, the lawyers will be happy. 

Do you want to come to a point? Did you buy a MUCH faster car, and if so, what was it? 

Today’s car? Prius. Ouch... Why don’t we take photos in a really dark setting and convince our readers that that all the shady parts make the it look really good.

Thanks for pointing out the PR aspect - now it will be re-framed on social media. It turns a (-) to a (+) with minimal cost. 

My friend in HS had one. Another had a MG and I drove a Fiat X1/9. Everyone was slow, but it was the 1980s.

No. Hell No!

Makes sense to me. I guess that in Texas there is a different take on common sense. Though I wonder what would happen if a car fell off a lift!

That actually says a lot considering it doesn’t have California plates. 

Those have got to be some of the worst car photographs ever.  Why are you trying to hide the vehicle’s details with such dark photos? Reminds me of a used car sales advertisement by the owner, not the work of a pro. 

Ok, so it wasn’t 5,000 pounds but 18. Still, there was no reason to combine all these devices into one unless you have a hard-on to see a big explosion. Better yet, this could have been done on an official range instead of in a populated area. There really was no justifiable reason for the police to do this. I can’t…

Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) working as it should. There is just no downside to the Chinese if the loan gets paid or not. Chinese state owned companies are doing the work, and if you don’t pay, then Chinese courts have a say over your countryside. No need for invasion! Brilliant! Your really can’t go wrong when…

Let us not forget that the Prius has the driver engagement of a washing machine. In the States, that MB would be rare for what it doesn’t have. Plus, a manual MB is just proper vintage fun. 

I have had a 2011 and now a 2014 sportwagen TDI. The base is the way to go on account of the sunroof. Screen shielding passengers underneath the sunroof is full of holes, and you still feel the sun on your skin. You can tell that the whomever thought this was a good idea was likely in Northern Europe at the time. Same…

OMG a manual shifter in an SUV! I wish. Aren’t those forbidden in the US? 

I had that happen at a hotel in Wilson, AZ. It was only the night clerk who admitted smoked in my room and just threw the $200 cleaning fee in their face. So much for all the non-smoking signs.
