That’s true. People don’t know how massive a country Iran is. It’s about 50% larger than both Iraq and Afghanistan combined and occupying both those were a massive drain.

For anyone wanting a look into the original.... it gets weird.

But their car was a Renault LeCar, not a Chevy Citation :P

Pretty sure it is a 509 or similar which isn’t related to an Austin that I’m aware of.

The SZ was mostly designed in house by Fiat and Alfa, not Zagato. Zagato was contracted to build them, however.

Didn’t even think to check the 131, completely skipped my mind. Almost surprised it was still in production that late.

Volumex was just what Fiat (or abarth,technically, I think) named the supercharger. It’s a Volumex R18 supercharger on both the 037 and Delta S4.

Volumex just refers to the supercharger.

156,000 people landed on D-Day, but screw the British and Canadians who sent 83,000, amirite?

Blue (azzurro,technically) is also one of the Italian national colors dating back to the House of Savoy. It’s why the national soccer team wear blue colors as well.

I hope Hazel meant “cute video” ironically because that video hurt to watch.

You could get LHD Aurelias from 54 onward so it’s not a huge stretch. They go into it the article linked in the story. It’s a restomod not trying to be a faithful recreation.

It certainly wasn’t meant to be up at those elevations but it did it.

Just took my dream road trip this summer.

*deescalated* 

I kinda figured as much. I think itwas just it being the first listed after mentioning other countries that had me going, “maybe...?”

“to practice and communicate with other people from other countries? We had Puerto Rico...”

TIL Greece is 10 miles across.

Hell, the wounds are still there.

That was my take as well. The wording used by the Iranian President was a bit dramatic but essentially true, a war with Iran would be catastrophic. Trump’s tweet is far more of an overt threat.
