Also, it pulls like a schoolboy. And the one I drove wasn’t even the sport model. But rear seat access is pretty much only with cooperation of the person seated in front. Those half doors are ok for getting a bag out of the backseat, but I was pining for real doors pretty quickly. Stiff ride. Terrible family car.

Well, they better, otherwise they’ll get the hose again!

So they can whine about it on auto-related websites, duh.

This was my dream car for years. I never even saw one in the metal until years after falling in love. I feel the later turn indicators detract from the clean design. My perfect garage has a splittie, one each type I and III Ghia, and one of these with a full Berg motor.

And where’s the “brown wagon” button?

I like big abutments and cannot lie

I work in a rubber manufacturing plant (dairyware, not tyres) and can add more info about carbon black - it gets everywhere and is murder to clean up. I’ve done maintenance on our mixing plant and come away covered in the stuff. First time I’ve ever used a fingernail brush on my face. At our old factory, the carbon…

You put that thing back the way you found it or so help me...

Pinch the unit from a wrecked Leaf.

Yeah, not all of us find the leathery, big hair, fake tit, hoop earring thing "attractive" tho.

Yup, we’re house shopping now (New Zealand); Harleys and Skylines are making me pass on all but low traffic streets. We've got six Harleys with straight pipes on our street, three within two houses, and one of those leaves for work at 05:15. I owned a '63 Servicar for a bit in the 90s and enjoyed it but would never…

It’s also way easier to speed/afford to get caught in the US compared to other places. Speeding tickets are expensive here in NZ, we have fixed, mobile, and time/distance cameras, and I’ve never heard of anyone getting let off. I’ve gotten three verbals in Vermont, and last time I was visiting I stuck to 65 on I-89…

How about a sensor that detects when kids need to piss before they get in the car?

The Zoe is a completely different car than the Leaf. It’s amazing to me that a car company is willing to support two parallel and competing production electric cars that share zero parts. I drove a Zoe for about five minutes, long enough to realise it's not screwed together nearly as nicely as our Leaf is, though it…

I can only hope this video wasn’t filmed recently when avocados were NZ$7 each!

I encourage anyone who can find a copy to watch Nick Mason’s film of his running of the 1992 version of the race. Great stuff. Sadly, never released on DVD (!) and VHS copies are hard to come by (mine was never returned after being lent out). It may be on youtube. Vintage sports cars and Pink Floyd! Bought my copy…

Anton Yelchin, for one.

It’s on airbags so ride height is adjustable, but I agree. Once the arc of the rim and the wheel opening are no longer concentric, we’re in the Danger Zone. The Corona looks really nice, the Volvo not. I love everything else about this project, including the VT plates. I miss seeing old Swedish cars frequently, not…

It’s an absolute dumpster fire. Doesn’t render properly on my tablet, comments don’t seem to nest correctly, it’s SLOW... Amazing how long it’s lasted TBH. I get that writing web forum software is neither easy or cheap but FFS, the web is decades old now, this is not new tech.
