Yep. They were sliding downhill with their wheels locked. If they took their foot off the brakes, they’d get steering back. That’s exactly what ABS was developed to do - not so much to get you stopped, but to allow you to steer because it prevents the wheels from lock and removing your ability to steer. People get…

Every single one of them with the wheels completely locked and cocked sideways. Hey all, wheels only steer you when they’re turning.

Tesla has been introducing PowerPacks that are capable of supporting large scale industrial electrical needs, so building one of these and including a storage system isn’t going to be much of a challenge. This kind of large scale storage is already in production.

And store the wheels in nice bags all summer/winter when they’re not on the vehicle.

AWD is a huge factor for people that live in snow country. Not so much here in NorCal, but when I lived in New England, anytime someone came home with a Saab, Volvo or Subaru it was because they were “good in snow”.

A car with “bugger” in the name. There’s something we can all get behind.

I have a 335d and wouldn’t want to own it out of warranty. But I’ll take a more analog BMW out of warranty with an issue. An E36 may not be everyone’s cup of tea, which is fine. It means that they’re cheap and as the cheap cars get destroyed by bottom feeding buyers, the remaining nice ones will increase in price.

Why do all these conservative commentators dye their hair horrible shades of blonde and wear fake eyelashes? Usually, you have to go to a strip club to find this kind of look.

Hatchbacks were designed for the agriculture industry as a way to properly hatch poultry. The big glass window keeps it nice and warm in there so the eggs are nice and comfy.

Sheesh. How long until New England Ford dealers develop their regional special? Fiesta Hornpout Edition.

Somebody needs to stab the 20 minutes of pure bullshit they pack in while they’re sitting in the tent right in the neck.

Me too. It’s one of my most prized possessions.

True story: When Joanne Woodward wanted to give her husband Paul Newman a Mini for Christmas, they were able to drive it up onto the porch and get it through the double doors into house and into the room with the tree.

It’d be great for frosty nights or expected snow, too. Just pop that thing off and you’ve got a clean windshield.

As a guy that had a 1980 Ford Fiesta as his first new car, this is 100% true. 70hp was never so much fun, nor were 12" tires. My previous used cars weren’t much better: a couple bugs, a clapped out Corona and a thoroughly thrashed Datsun 510 were all pretty light on power.

You know it, man. I’m like an hour from the airport and the last thing I want to do after flying home across the country for 6 hours is get into my gear, strap my roller bag on the back and then ride an hour home. Yuck.

The segment where they were supposedly fighting with the American audience was utterly tedious.

“You. Yes, you.” is say such. Posted above.

If you’re familiar with Star Trek, start thinking “Kobayashi Maru” for how that’s going to turn out for you.

I love that this thing was basically built like farm equipment; designed to be disassembled and maintained over and over and over again.
