I did say perceived danger, not real danger. Tweakers who steel copper wire from live equipment are not smart.

I see Stockton Rush perishing from his own hubris as a just fate, but taking others with him was tragic.  

The Datsun Fair Lady roadster is very much a refined Triumph TR4. This makes it a proto Miata of sorts. Unfortunately they rust horribly.  

I'd say the Chrome Head is actually more retro BMW than imitation Harley. Especially with pinstripes it looks more like a 1930s BMW than anything else. Like Triumph with the Bonneville BMW reached back into their own heritage rather than directly imitate like the Japanese Cruisers. 

The NA Miata also used a copy of the Minilite wheel. Mazda should be commended for building something very close to the Elan is spirit while being reliable and durable

I’m slightly surprised the market picked up on a relatively boring company.

Convenience,  the sweet sweet copper is now at ground level. Also the perceived danger is less. 

Being an "art car" detracts from the value of 80s kitsch and the tiny record player for voice notification.  ND

The ones that immediately come to mind are low volume and British. The Aston Martin Virage uses 2nd generation VW Scirocco tail lights,  the TVR "wedge cars" from the 80s used Landrover steering columns, and the 93 and 94 US market Landrover Rover Defender used the same tail light as an Isuzu NPR

Simplicity was part of Honda's strategy for the original Accord.  The car had one trim level and the only factory option was Hondamatic.  Everything else was dealer installed.  We know that was a success since they sold like hot cakes and the only major issue was rust

My two obscure faves are the MVS Venturi, from France's homegrown super car maker and the Unipower GT, a mid engine sports car with a Mini Cooper drive train from a forklift company. 

I'm surprised it wasn't Sam Brinton.

The CyberCucks are doubling down on stupid. This electrified hooligan comes hot on the heels of the big brain who discovered his wank panzer won’t fit his apartment complex garage.

With the current state of FSD, I  dismissed the robot axis as vaporware. 

the figure I got years ago was 3500 lbs/hr which is 525 gallons, which makes a,hovercraft shockingly inefficient,  perhaps they should have tried an Ekranoplan.

Oil is an important part of the cooling system as well. I wonder what oil levels Top Fuel drag racers run since the engines only run a minute or so between rebuilds. 

That's twice the burn rate of a 747 at cruising altitude.  No wonder they stopped using it

Laughing in 213,000 mile 2003 Buick LeSabre.  My truck also had over 100,000 miles, which was actually low for a then 18 year old pickup.  I figure an older car will have that mileage since IIRC average mileage is 10,000 per year and a newer car with high will warrant a discount  and again you shop condition. …

Didn't Elon do enough damage to Tesla by making them produce the Cybertruck and cancel the Model 2

If Jalopnik gets sold off do they revert to the original mirror shades and lollipop, or does the staff defect en masse to The Autopian?
