I thought it was a “phantom dually” at first but yeah 4 wheels and tires back there, to make the wank panzer even more useless.

Looks like airline kitchens are in a race to the bottom with cruise ship kitchens 

Seattle gets more rainy days than Portland,  and I'm in Oregon 

Although it is a bit heavier the Mazda5 did much the same thing. Our late and lamented 2014 was very comfortable for four and decent for 6. You could squeeze a 7th seat in some markets but it wasn't comfortable.  

Hertz is doing something stupid and having it blow up on social media is as predictable as a rainy day in Seattle 

Ze Germans did something similar 20 years ago with the Dolmette, a motorcycle powered by 24 chainsaw engines driving a custo made toothed belt (because Germans) https://jalopnik.com/dolmette-motorcycle-powered-by-24-chainsaw-engines-1850391310

Isuzu had some good cars for a while, and then dropped them entirely. The last Isuzus under 10,000lbs GVWR were rebadged GM products,  although the D-Max pickup sells well in the rest of the world to the point where Mazda replaced the BT50 with an Isuzu.  

Yes,the was a Top Gear prior to the big 3, but it was even more anodyne the Fifth Gear. 

The Delta Integrale is surprisingly inexpensive.  I'd see the Trans Am pair as kit cars but want to pay less so I can afford engines,  anything from a junkyard small block to a built LS. As for square pickups get the first generation Ford Ranger,  I drove one all over Brooklyn in the 80s, enjoying that slick shifting…

It's good to see an EV aftermarket forming and someone who understands acceleration and rang are not the be all and end all of BEV performance.  I'd sooner have a Roadster that weighs 400 lbs less

Fortunately I live in the opposite corner of the country and can easily identify local cars by the red volcanic rock dust on the chassis 

May is right, it was time to go out on a high rather than deteriorate. I like May and Clarkson’s solo work so they still have creative juice. I haven’t seen Hammond in anything except a Ford Ranger ad, is he doing any shows?

Aptera really is the 21st century Dale, minus the criminal charges and transgender CEO. I’m expecting criminal charges and/or bankruptcy in the next few years so all they need is a C level transwoman to hit the trifecta.

The root problem here is driving the kids to school. School busses, city busses and walking or biking are the right way to do it. My recollection is NYC schools give every student a transit pass so those kids could be riding those,MTA busses instead of blocking them. Even if the MTA needs a dedicated bus line with…

FAP is the acronym and logo of a Serbian truck maker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabrika_automobila_Priboj?wprov=sfla1

BMW also did that, at least in the 70s. 

I was watching Oregon Field Guide last night and the guy on the research ship said being at sea was like jail. On the other hand the OSU research ship rarely gets illnesses 

The wank panzer is non stop comedy as the CyberCucks try to defend it

5.56 mm M855 green tip will go right through a Cybertruck and even lower levels of real armored cars. It's up to you what you shoot it out of.

The Tempo really was that bad. I drove some rentals in the early 90s and also told Hertz “no Tempos”. This meant I got a Ford Probe, which was basically a reskinned Mazda and orders of magnitude better.
