None, and I grew up with my dad buying a (used) Pinto and a Vega. He actually passed on the Corvair...

I got a ticket in college at an intersection, in a separated right hand turn lane with a stop sign. So for a statistics class, went back and counted 100+ cars for how many came to a full and complete stop where I was ticketed. The answer was zero....

This is Jalopnik, if course you should buy it! I hear if you buy a carcarrier of Jeeps, you get a 10% discount....

Even bursting into flames, the Ferrari would win, it is a more flamboyant gesture.

Not timeless, just still available today for new. Kinda like the Avanti, produced through 2006...

What about cars that are still being made? Note, the Morgan is technically a three wheeled motorcycle, but it has changed little over the years. And you can get a brand new Delorean, or so I have read lately.

#2 Police cars. When I managed a Pizza joint, some one came in, said they recognized someone who had multiple warrants and needed to call the police. The assistant manager had the precinct desk phone on speed dial, and while they were talking, one officer came running around the corner after the suspect, and five cop

I can’t remember the last time I saw an econo box from ‘84. Sports cars? Sure. If course, I live in the rust belt, anything local would be a pile of iron filings by now.

Sergio hoped so.

So, now we need a tire sensor to id the speed rating on the tires? I hope that if your taking anything 700+ HP to V-Max, the tires have been x-rayed for defects and the tread shaved to an appropriate level. Life squad standing by discussing how to remove you if the car wrecks also recommended. (The jet powered trucks

That 90 seconds based on the quarter mile time of the Marthoz?

Differential thrust steer using twin 35HP engines, and tail dragger (rear steer). I have either drunk way too much, or not nearly enough.

Long distance coach bus. Plenty of room for loot, 600+ miles possible on one trip, resistant to pit maneuvers, can be upgraded on bullet resistance without effecting performance or outward looks, and extra cool points if you can get it to drift.

12 ton weight minimum, 100 ton max. If the ground ain’t shaking, your not doing it right. :) AC-20 optional...

They could have two phase battles, one for paintball / projectile target shooting and obstacle course with the pilots in the mechs/gundum/robot, and a remote vertual hand to hand duel using the same robot. More excitement, less danger to the pilots.

All the stars for you. Hopefully they don’t crush as easily as Sergio’s dreams of a first place finish in quality.

It’s just an inference on a limited data set. Now, if we kept the weight and acceleration the same, how much improvement would we see in MPG? Sure, the car would be a relative death trap, and relatively slow....

Nice to see the MPG is less on the more modern car. Points out the cost of MPG for what modern buyers want, and the government mandates. I know the new one is so much safer, but I would take the FX in a heartbeat.

Or buy it and become a private Uber bus. Kind of like the Silicon Valley busses. Either way, enjoy the ride.

How much does a used bus cost? 21,900, low miles (385k), 2004.
