Yes, we did...., Bwahahahahahah. And then along came the  Triumph Acclaim https://www.google.com/amp/s/jalopnik.com/meh-car-monday-the-fine-decent-and-confusing-triumph-1822103063/amp

As an old-timer (>60) in a senior position in a young persons industry (Information Technology), I have to disagree utterly. We boomers have an extraordinary depth of knowledge, that we can bring to any project, given the opportunity, and being inflexible to change is not a trait of age, but of personality. I’ve…

Oh Oh! here comes the grammer police: ‘taut’ handling, not ‘taught’ handling, although self-learning suspensions can’t be far off.

A wonderful plane. Back in the early 80's, I lived directly under one of the approaches to Heathrow. Even though we had a plane flying over us every 3 minutes for half the day until they switched the approach path, whenever we could hear it approaching on its once a day arrival, we would go outside to look up, gaze in…

Absolutely: yesterday I put my Volvo 2009 XC70 wagon in a compact slot, and there was room to spare. This is by far the biggest car I’ve ever owned, yet it is dwarfed by nearly every new model on the market.

If I remember correctly, this is the one where the sub-frame could disconnect from the body whilst being driven because of corrosion, leaving the body actually sitting on the road.

I like your stuff but this comment needs knocking down, the process of innocuous white Europeans overstaying their visas, working in NY bars and being swept up by immigration and deported is so banal and frequent it barely registers

The only way to become a citizen “pretty easily” is to be born here. The second easiest is to bring lots and lots of money into the country (and just earning it here doesn’t count). For everyone else, it’s just a long hard haul. If he really is well off, he needs to bring some expensive immigration lawyers into play.…

I know you’re trolling, but you do realize that you’ve stated the exact opposite of what actually happens. Undocumented immigrants with fake SSN numbers pay into the system via payroll taxes and SS contributions, but can't get anything out, leaving the govt a beneficiary to their payments

You may be, and you didn’t, but that is an entirely different discussion unless you are advocating an open borders policy, which, even from the perspective of my shiny pale whiteness, doesn't seem to fit in with native land use demands

Here’s the problem, speaking as someone who came from the same country, legally, and who remains here, legally, still a foreigner after 20 years.

Agree totally. 1977 was the first time I drove 100 mph on a public road in the UK . Alfa GTV6, thanks, Nick, wherever you are

My in-laws, who owned a house for a while that actually faced the TT course on the isle of man, simply rented the house out for the 2 weeks of the race, and went abroad. Even before the days of Airbnb, it was a trivial affair to find enthusiasts who would pay top price for the house with all the inconveniences of…

Here in Denver, they've been running chains for the last few days. I've only ever seen one truck ever get stuck here, and that was when we had 28" of snow in 24 hours. I couldn't leave the house for 2 days but the first thing that got running was USPS. Hats off to them for dedication to the job

As a foreigner who’s only lived here for 25 years, please explain - why the hell are these “Funny” cars?

Given how the vote panned out mostly, younger generation remain, older leave, it would mostly seem to be a misty-eyed equivalence to MAGA, when the remnants of the empire meant that we actually could, to some extent, control our own economy and multi-nationals could not simply trample across borders and over…

Can’t go wrong with a $25 portable clothes steamer from Walmart to take off stickers. I even removed a complete set of scratched up tints from a car in less than 3 hours using one

Well it’s an evo, so I suppose with a can exhaust and coilovers

We really need to get away from manufacturer-specific charging. If they can afford to set up their own network, they could contribute the same money to a pot to use to create a proper infrastructure. Here is Colorado, there’s a 500 mile distance between Denver and Durango, and the only fast charger between those 2…
