There was a good doc about this.

The nuttiest engineer who ever worked for Citroen, the one who conceived a side-wheel-drive coupe, hydro-pneumatic suspension of course, three-wheel steering, with a hybrid Wankel-turbine engine using both mechanical fuel injectors and carburettors that runs on a 50:50 blend of diesel and orange juice, with bumpers…

I get that it’s a joke but according to the CDC, Native Americans are the most-smoking of all racial/ethnic groups.

Red and white like the bloody phlegm you cough up as you succumb to your lung cancer, emphysema, etc.

You created a beauty of a thread here- a true Pearl!

I starred you and I mostly agree, but Koenigsegg is not Bugatti; they aren’t backed by a conglomerate like VAG, and they don’t court the ridiculous mainstream elitism of Ferrari or its ilk. They are a small, purposeful firm with some of the most impressive engineering on Earth, and everything about its culture springs…

If you don’t mind the question, where was your school?

It’s childish to imagine that you can tell people what title they must be called. I’m fairly sure nobody has ever demanded that you accept the misuse of your own name, and this is exactly the same thing. Show respect for people and learn to adapt.

Is it as striking in person as in photos?

With a name like DBX, it had better make a good sound!

Go for the far spots for your health. Most of us could use more walking anyway.

Sounds like you’re saying that you can’t afford to do anything except what you’re currently doing, which is unfortunately something a lot of Americans are stuck with. But you then turn around and act offended at the notion that other workers might rise up against that kind of helplessness, and that’s precisely the…

Most factory work doesn’t require a college education, and most union contracted workers are harder to discipline due to that contract. How many UAW workers have been caught drinking on the job, or other things that would get most normal people fired.

What exactly is your point?

Now, I don’t quite agree- you’ll notice that for almost every temporal displacement, the time vehicle is clearly massively decelerated, implying that some of the vehicle’s kinetic energy was used for something and that 88mph therefore represented some estimated rough requirement, at least in the beginning.

I think we’ve found the ancestor to T-tops. A creaky, leaky panel right above your head, why not?

Wow! I get that they are probably lumping the 7500 credit in those offers, but even then that seems ridiculously cheap. If those are real prices, and not fake made-up ones assuming you’re a veteran in college who works for GM and has bought 53 previous GM cars and is offering a trade-in for peanuts with 84 months…

Of course whoever actually wrote the book is in charge of the characters, so there might be something deeper that I am missing. But I have not perceived Teasle to be a veteran from the film portrayal. The way he struts around town and violently bristles at any insubordination from Rambo, the way he was immediately…

Try a couple decades before that:

First Blood is magnificent- I don’t think you’re being completely fair about it. TBH when I first saw it I didn’t think of it as a B movie, I assumed it must be as well regarded as something like All Quiet on the Western Front, one of my favorite movies.
