Diorama111 should collaborate with Instagram user Tokyobuilds who makes detailed replicas of Japanese buildings.  

Every time I see a TV ad or an article about these self propelled resorts I scratch my head and wonder what the attraction is. On the plus side, the more tourists that get sucked onto these, the fewer tourists where I want go.

Which raises the question of whether Komatsu's other divisions use Komatsu presses?

They are both wrong, John Oliver is not as funny as he thinks he is and Elon is a “wisdom dump statted popped collar douche bro” Popehat

At $23,900 asking,  no M = No Dice. An M535i or M5 would be worth it but a vanilla 535i isn't.  

The Citroën Bijou was neat little coupe with less horsepower than a Cub Cadet riding mower, but a fantastic ride thanks to its 2CV platform

The Sonett actually had decent performance for its class. If you wanted more performance a Ford Cologne V6 was straightforward swap in a V4 model.

My friend didn’t face this level of complexity when the 12 V battery in his Nissan Leaf died. He could open the door with a key, pop the hood and hook up a battery charger. It was the same with a Think City,  charging a flat 12 V battery was no more complex than jump starting a Toyota Corolla.  

The side view looks like a mash up of a 740 and an XJ Cherokee.  If Volvo had a decent AWD system it could have been a Swedish Range Rover.  

It's cute and fun and I love the AZ-1 but I have trouble with a set of wheels that costs more than a used Miata. 

That massive range drop at highway speeds is a powerful lesson in aerodynamics.  As you observed this is best suited for urban use so restyling like the old BMW F650CS with Super Motard style tires and suspension for $5000 less would be a winner

Are NFTs really and truly dead? I certainly hope so

I'm not sure,which is more appalling,  the number  of idiots caught trying to bring guns on plane, or the number the TSA didn't catch based on typical TSA failure rates 

That reminds me of my ultimate car desecration story. Early oughts, height of the “Fast & Furious” craze and the kid at TCBY had a Mazda RX-7 Turbo rattle canned black with Acura badges and “powered by Acura” seat belt covers, plus a fart cannon. FFS an RX-7 is a genuine performance car in its own right and he made a

It’s jacked up so it doesn’t get high centered on the parking lot boulder :-)

I’d call this a risky bet. On the one hand a used Model 3 is good way to get a decent performing EV on the Tesla charger network. On the other hand it’s Hertz so there’s a very real possibility of being pulled over and held at gunpoint because they reported the car stolen.

Cuba’s fuel problem is a direct result of the collapse of the Venezuelan oil industry which had been supplying Cuba with cheap fuel since Chavez took office in the late 90s. Then Maduro replaced Chavez and through gross incompetence and asset seizure production fell from 3.5 million barrels/day in 2001 to 500,000

The OSI Daf City Car should be on the list for the unique combination of a sliding driver’s door and center opening passenger doors, probably the first example of pillarless rear “suicide door.

That’s Bring a Trailer level pricing. Somebody wealthy will pay without caring and someone less wealthy might pay and regret it.

Regular Teslas are also good for wheel spin in snow. All that torque through tires designed for low rolling resistance and even Model 3s spin. FWIW a Tesla with proper winter tires is no worse than a Subaru Outback in snow. As noted the idiocy is in not preparing.
