Some years ago, driving to a wedding with a girl I’d been seeing for a short while:

I had to stay at a hotel in New Orleans that only had valet parking, all the valets were adamant that they knew how to drive stick perfectly.

Or rather, this could help develop countermeasures against an autonomous car that has been turned into a weapon.

I’d be more worried about autonomous cars being turned into weapons than weapons being used against autonomous cars. If anything, whatever they find could be used as countermeasures against a rogue autonomous car.

Most similar would be the Golf R, to sell the Seat they’d have to homologate it with different airbags, lights, etc... which costs a lot of money. It only comes in manual (I think), and there’s no dealer network.

Just more evidence that transit cops are evil. Probably was in parking enforcement too.

The want for a Seat Leon Cupra is big, broke 8 minutes on the nurburgring, costs about $25k, can be driven every day.

Looks pretty flat, straight and with good visibility. My guess is it was completely empty, 3-4 AM or something similar, the few cars sharing the road with him he’d have ample time to see before passing.

On the car, very, it’s actually a 2005 Seat Cordoba. On the geography, I actually bought the car new when I was living in northern Mexico and now I live in Guatemala. Car’s pretty reliable actually but I do my own oil changes and there’s always a little left so to the trunk it goes.

Maybe it’s just that it’s Monday but for a second there thought the chopper was parked in a helipad in front of the huge tow truck.

Gee I wonder what Doug DeMuro would recommend? Maybe some sort of warranty?

Nice!

There’s not many oils that work in both my gas car and my diesel van, and I get a great price buying straight from the Motul distributor.

Haha, well sometimes I keep also a small suitcase with some clothes, a towel and a swimsuit in case an unexpected plan comes up.

Haha, no, a 10 year old Seat that’s so far been very reliable. It’s there mainly so if I roll over I can pay back whomever comes to my aid with a free car service and some damn fine tequila.

Mine’s filled with a bunch of useful stuff people could recover from the wreck, I’ve got:

I was brought home from the hospital in a ‘79 Civic, without a child seat and somehow I’m here. Good thing there weren’t any mobile phones back then but if I had to guess I’d say probably both of my parents were smoking while driving.

Even spun it, I really would have liked to see a full lap really at speeds. Those things could move!

Are you telling me this is not a good idea? It’s extremely tempting.

I was thinking more of the 90's Continental with the 6.75 when I said simple (I like my Bentleys boxy).
