and thus why it is not available for sale in the U.S. or other countries with more stringent vehicle safety regulations

“...who uses the term “Motor Company”?”

“Calling somebody an “illegal alien” for them having committed a misdemeanor improper entry violation years ago is the equivalent of calling me an “illegal driver” for having committed a misdemeanor driving violation years ago. “

This isn’t an accurate comparison.

It would be more accurate to compare entering the…

Even with house shoes / slippers that never leave the house, I take them off before putting feet up on the bed or furniture.

We’re still talking about toilet brushes here, right?

BMW put this into production as the X6

Now wait just a goddamn minute, what the hell is this? Is this a 2010 Infiniti G37S for $18,500? That’s too fuckin’ high!

I was hoping to see a red/yellow treatment of one of these (like the McDonald’s colors).

“Only morons and goofballs care about what kind of engine this or that car has, or what kind of door handles, or whatever other such nonsense.”

By your standard, Jerry Seinfeld, who is an automobile enthusiast, is either a moron or a goofball.
