Ok an auto show like Radwood, except only for cars with manual transmissions that sold fewer than 50k units.

This is pretty good shared diesel DNA, but is it better than the bmw E28/Vixen motor home/Lincoln Mark VII?

Technical innovation? No, not really. But market innovation? Absolutely. 

EV1? Volt? C8 Corvette?

That show was the best. Such a tragedy about the lead actor.

Also, I’d forgotten that it ripped the “I lost the guidebook” thing off from the Greatest American Hero. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Greatest_American_Hero

Ha ha yes, one of many from around that same era that stick in my head. Manimal is one everyone knows, but also Automan, which was a Tron ripoff so awful that I can barely read the Wikipedia entry now without cringing.

What the hell was in the water in the early 80s? 

A couple of years ago I told someone about Tales of the Gold Monkey and how it resulted in a cartoon starring the bear from Jungle Book except he flew a seaplane in the pre-war Pacific and I cannot emphasize how high this person thought I was.

I always get flamed for saying things like this, but I just really don’t understand buying this car over a Cayman, particularly now that the GTS has brought the 4.0L N/A engine within range. Yes, this car starts under $60K, though by the time you spec it out with Z51, etc., it’s a lot more than that. And the Cayman…

Yeah, this. I took my 987 in to the dealer for some top issues because I figured they’d be able to figure them out, and asked for a quote to do an oil change while I was at it. Can’t remember the specific number, but it was over $400.

To change the oil.

Just the oil.

If you take it to the east side, one of the marinas on Lake St. Clair will probably give you a couple of bucks for it.  Always losing anchors over there. 

I’m not knocking criticism of Tesla generally—the company needs to be held to task and there is a lot to snark on them about.

Unexpected turmoil? Tell that to the Swedes, who actually *switched which side of the road* they drove on in 1967.

CT6-V, with a V8

“Low speed follow.”

I rented an F-Pace, and dumb name (and some electrical gliches, #onbrand) aside, it was a really nice product.  I’d honestly consider one if I ever packed it in and decided to get a crossover.  But my other choice would be a Stelvio, so maybe I’m just a masochist. 

Would you say that Volvo...

One of the few that Hollywood didn’t paint orange and destroy. 

My favorite #granadamemory is that you could get a factory installed CB radio in them, which my parents did, much to my delight. 

My F80 M3 does this. Because I am, at heart, a 10 year old, I love it. 

The shark now wears a leather jacket, rides a motorcycle, and can start the jukebox just by hitting it with his fin.
