Seconded. I’d read it though, if that was an option.

I know of a few well-off people who bought dirt-cheap cars in situations where it made sense, but those were more utilitarian than this sedan.

That would go against the rules that he himself had pushed for. The intended user would have to personally sign for, and personally set up the security codes/patterns, before the IT department were allowed to put certificates/keys on it.

A senior IT guy at a major oil company told me of one of their vice presidents handing his phone to his toddler to distract him while loading the car for a lengthy vacation, but of course, bosses at that level keep working even on vacation. Toddler swipes enough wrong patterns to trigger the reset, father doesn’t…

Tidiest rocket I’ve ever seen. Landed tail first, as planned, then immediately disassembled itself.

The Zoe charging issue is interesting, and pretty much unique to parts of Norway, and possibly Albania.

Northern Norway in general is not a good place for amateur pilots. All commercial operations on the shorter airfields, regardless of aircraft weight and passenger count, require two pilots, both to have at least 800 hours, and a bunch of other prerequisites not required for those operating further south.

There’s one in southwest Norway that’s underground, and belongs to a system of undersea tunnels, but the roundabout itself is under an island.

You might want to check your sources. The Faroe Islands are very, very hilly, having the tallest sea cliffs in Europe.

Came here to point out that it’s still a terrible car even if it’s identical to the day it was made, but noticed that half the comments are already doing the same.

The dealer is probably still trying to reach them about the extended warranty.

I feel your pain. It hurt seeing the engines being run to destruction in the “cash for clunkers” program, where they drained the oil and put in a sodium silicate solution before turning the engine on and rev it until it seized.

Any prototype Mustangs attending a Cars & Coffee in the Caribbean at the time?

See Steve Harvey Oswalds description, I agree fully with it. Cars should feel like cars, not bouncy castles.

That might be. We’re not in the EU, but we still follow a lot of their rules, both the good, the bad and the ugly.

Yup. As much as I’m not into sports cars, I still appreciate the handling of a regular German sedan built for the Autobahn (some Japanese sedans frighten me), and am disappointed not only by the handling of these much too popular small SUVs, but also by otherwise sane people with jobs and voting rights and everything…

Yup, 6 disc changer in the trunk of my Jaguar XJ, good old days. As a bonus, the numbers were reversed between the head unit and the changer, so tapping 1 on the head unit would give me the disc in slot 6, tapping 2 would give me 5 and so on. Every now and then it would start skipping and repeating, then I’d have to…
