I think you meant “vulnerable”, even if those hills HAVE been around a long time.

My guess? The service mgr told the customer service guy they weren’t going to spend any more time with it, so the guy made up the best story he could

That customer service guy might have a point about the F150 being the “fast” truck. Every raised F150 Bro truck I see is being driven like the dude thinks he is at LeMans.

This screams college prank. Check the garages of the uncles of all the frat brothers, and expect to need to replace the tires.

The final tally of the cost for the Olympics was $1.6bn, a more than 13-fold increase, including at least $1.1bn for the stadium alone. In popular lore, the Big O had officially become the Big Owe. When all was said and done, the city was left with debt that took 30 years to pay off.

I swear I heard Jay Leno say that his shop does the maintenance on his F1

Indeed. The Olympics left Montreal so deep in debt that it almost killed the modern Olympic games. It was only Los Angeles that saved them by showing that cities could host them without going billions of dollars in debt.

I’m beginning to think vthat Montreal just isn’t a sports town.

Man, that car went up like a torch

What if you live at altitude?

The busiest part (in contention with Orange county 405) of the busiest freeway in LA.

I like snark, but those three are just fun (no snark).

Very good point. The late 70s and early 80s was the nadir for American cars in performance, quality, and styling (5mph bumpers!).

The 600 series were sweet - looking cars ( I liked the boxy 5 series BMWs from the 80s, too), and it was easier to admire them since they took about 9 seconds to get to 60.

My opinion, that I will defend with my flying fingers of fury on the interwebs, is that the 80s are undefeated for awesomeness in all areas... except for cars. Cars in the 80s kind of blew.

That is awful. What a punch in the gut.

... but not for a couple months until guy get really sick of going into taco bell

What that first pic shows is that what Lotus really needs to do is stretch it, put in back seats, and call it the Lotus clubman suv so it can make all the money.

My family had a couple and they were great. Cheap like most eighties cars, but never broke down and you could abuse it and it never said a word.

Rural farms have gas tanks on their land because it takes too long to drive to a station. Gas-powered vehicles are indispensable to people in the country, and they can literally be life savers.
