A late model Seat Leon with normal Virginia tags parked in Georgetown. It was not the kind of car anyone would spend money to federalize (or import illicitly).

I agree that it’s borderline, but a 986 3.4 sounds like a hell of a lot of fun for 15K.  Assuming that the work was done well, I think it’s worth the roll of the dice.  But, jeez, change those wheels stat. 

In Soviet Russia, trucks cyber you! 

It’s only a matter of time before they mount that dish on an F-18.

Getting gas is the absolute worst, and if everyone drove EVs and someone suggested our current gas system as an alternative they would be laughed at. 

This trailer just makes me sad that every airplane in the US Navy is now an F-18 of some sort or another.  It’s like one of those pictures where one person’s head has been photoshopped on everyone’s body. 

Do we know for sure which test Porsche used? Or which test other makers used? 

It’s not, though. It would be the ugliest car in Kia’s lineup by a fair margin.

Reading through this, I kept flashing back to the Seven Minutes of Terror video. Except this is like Seven Days of Creeping Dread.

Beavers and Otters started out as radial piston engined planes, many of which were upgraded to turbines; swapping an electric motor seems like the next logical step.

Which data?

Oh yeah, forgot all about the Saturn and EV1, too.

That’s the thing about GM, though, that I find fascinating. As much as they are maligned for being play-it-safe corporate drones, they have a history of signing off on these bizarre projects that have kind of the opposite problem—they’re so out there that they don’t land, or are executed poorly, or are executed…

Because it’s cheap?

I’m not a huge fan of the Acadia, but GM’s SUV game in the US seems strong enough, overall.  Why don’t they sell well in Australia? 

Think about how easily you could rename it the Dingo. 

The rarest K-car I’ve seen has to be the second generation Caravan with a manual. 

It’s cool because If I recall correctly the E36 318ti was basically the reverse of the Z1, which used an E30 front suspension and what would become the E36 rear suspension.

The orange is really amazing. Is it the same as Sakhir Orange on the M3?

Hilux begs to differ
