But you wouldn't agree they're a hassle? That some easier way to remove a wheel should be standard on all cars?
Oh yeah.
There has to be a better way to fasten the wheels to the hub than several steel lug nuts because there's always one that sticks and you try to get it off then you have to kick the tire iron because you can't break it loose then the iron falls off and you stumble forward like an idiot and you curse and then your wife…
Is it just coincidence that every car in the list above is from Western Europe? And S-Type R? Don't they have any XKRs or XFRs?
I've never seen that movie but that was pretty funny. "We're gonna fuckin' die ,YAHHHH....!!"
Kinda makes me wish I parked my Magnum outside...
You could push it off a cliff.
It'll be American. That you can be sure of.
I was sitting In a manual one at the Toronto auto show yesterday. It has the stiffest clutch I've ever experienced. Unless there is some sort of booster that lessens the force required when the engine is running it must be a bitch to drive smoothly.
And that's why I don't valet park my car.
I'll see myself out...
I'm surprised there's not some phone number to call the railroad to let them know your car is stuck with some code so they can identify the location of the crossing (incase you don't know where you are) and get the word out quicker to avoid a collision. But I suppose leaving it to the 911 dispatcher works too.
I'd take my $300,000, get in my brand new Taurus, drive my ass to California, and start over somewhere sunny!
