OK I will stick to human power and save money 

Wake surfing looks cool but I don't want to shell out the equivalent of my house on a boat, trailer, and truck.  I'm quite happy kayaking mountain lakes in my $300 kayak tossed in my $3000 truck, which leaves money for my house,  car , bikes, and road trips. 

Nifty but I probably need a bigger car for my size 12 feet and size 46 shoulders. FWIW Westfield des a store bought version with a Suzuki Hayabusa.  Personally I'd like a rotary powered car. Somewhere in the archives is an article and in-car video of a rotary powered Sprite. 

What the Del Sol should have been.  

Yeah LBJ died in 73 so Fiat was a major presence then

The ND Miata is a miracle of weight saving that only Mazda has pulled off. VW has only added weight and complications over the years so I consider it unlikely that a fourth Scirocco will  be lighter than the third generation, much less the lightness of the A1 platform of the 70s and 80s.  Making it a BEV is more…

That's so serious WTF and failure to grok. Especially when I compare Hannah's income and expenses with my son's.  He's 25 and an engineer and his lifestyle is rust free David Tracy,  a shared rental house and several cheap beaters 

but, but,  how can we make $15,000 per unit profit like we do on the $50,000 EV?

I want to believe but the last Scirocco didn’t make it to the US and if it happens this one is also likely to remain forbidden fruit.

That's what I expected,  16-17" wheels seem to be driven by larger brake rotors, to stop heavier cars but anything over 18" seems to be looks or bragging rights.

I have trouble understanding cars on wheels bigger than the average Kenworth. I grew up thinking 13" wheels were normal and 15" was big. Sure they look good in renderings but what possible engineering benefits do 22" or 23" wheels have?

A cautious NP since it is cheap for condition 2 but expensive for condition 3 which is about a $25k spread.

The 3800 V6 is a shining beacon of hope that GM sometimes gets it right

Current art often appears to be money laundering because more effort goes into the three paragraph “artist’s statement” then the actual art piece. Great art shouldn’t need an essay explaining it, art should be immediately comprehensible. I grok color field painting, Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism, Dada and any…

My semi-obscure object of desire is a Peugeot 106 Rallye, the poor man’s homologation special. The early cars were almost turn key Group N racers and the later ones were almost as serious.

I’ll support that, my Mom’s 91 Protégé LX with the 16V was a blast the times I borrowed it. It was nicer than my 84 Jetta and quicker

Saturns lasted well until the differential grenaded. We had a 97 SL2 for 15 years and then the differential pin walked which fractured the transaxle case which was not cheap DIY and insane at shop. It's a well known issue now with some fixes https://www.saturnfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=212202

If a company uses an AI bot, they are responsible for its actions. Air Canada may regret this since this establishes the precedent and the next bot screwup may cost more Loonies.

They are still stuck in the woods waiting for the spring thaw and will look like a Lancia Beta after 10 Michigan winters from the corrosive effect of pine sap :-D

All those cameras do add costs, both at build time and in increased insurance and repair costs because it doesn’t matter how many cameras are installed, people still have to use those cameras. Raising the standard of driver training and testing from perfunctory to diligent would solve a lot of problems. I suppose…
