It got worse, though, for Maserati. Much worse. Even into the 90s most people had to have two Maserati TCs to equal the reliable range and panache of the relatively humble EVs of the day, as this picture demonstrates.

It makes a statement, but I’ll be damned if I can tell what it is. NP at an even $2k, but not approaching three grand.

I’m just up the road from Little Rock, and can also contribute beer and food.

Neither fish nor fowl. CP at $10,000.

There was a quote about one of these in Richard Porter’s book about bad cars that went something like, “Show it the same corner three times at the exact same speed, and it will do three different things.”

You know, if you took a hospital bed and beefed it up a little bit, and got a serious engineer to do something about the free-castoring wheels and work out the maths, and staked a whopping great bundle of high-quality bungee cords to an oak somewhere in the woods a half-mile from the start...

Neither fish nor fowl. CP.

For $500, any Saab deserves at least to be made comfortable in its final extremities. This has to be especially true of the very few Saabs in optimistic colors. NP.

Some are metal, not necessarily evil.

Keep practicing, and don’t be discouraged. Heel-and-toe downshifting is a great and noble thing, but driving stick is what separates us from the apes.

Muskrat fever... One of the worst cases I’ve seen. Only the most virulent strains make it to an actual racetrack.

You take that back.

It’s a lot to write in, but the more I think about it....

Actually... I had thought that the Mig-21 landed especially fast, even for a supersonic fighter. Turns out, with a few more googlings, that the Mig lands just a bit faster than the American F-16.

Concur. Flared just a bit high. The Mig-21 design probably has as many hours in the air, and landings, as any supersonic jet, but they land at at least 160 mph. For perspective, that’s 50 mph faster than your run-of-the-mill Cessna 172 goes flat-out.

But beware sushi joints that pass off the dastardly escolar fish as fatty tuna. That stuff can make the digestive system do things most people wouldn’t believe.

We don’t deserve this.

No matter who you attribute the following drop of political wisdom to, it’s probably mis-attributed. I’ve seen the following heavy little one-liner laid at the feet of deep thinkers ranging from de Tocqueville to James Maddison to Adlai Stevenson; it could have been any or all of ’em that said or thought it.

Misread one word, but it didn’t change the meaning of your post one bit.
