Well, if this site is correct, hybrids are really a lot older than the 70's, according to history, it dates ways back to 1900, where some famous idiot joined a gas engine with an electric motor. :)

150Kms in the highway with the passenger holding a 5 liter bottle filled with gasoline, attached to the windshield water pipes.. gasoline pump failure :) .
I jus hate people.. who mount 2 inche smaller tires into huge rims, unsafe and shitty looking.
They look cool and you can make a full sized bed inside them, awesome for everywhere sex :)
Looks pretty fine to me, one hand of paint and a few parts and it's a winner. :)
With a turbo, anything is pointless, gains are produce with electronics and not intake flow, a turbo will draw air by any means necessary. Including tearing cheap air ducts in pieces.
Modern cars have all sorts of LCD displays in the gauge cluster and in the dashboard, and yet we still have an idiot light? It just seems incongruous in the age we live in to have to use an OBD II reader to check for a misfire or catastrophic engine failure.
Modern tire technology is amazing, but that doesn't change the fact that tires deflate over time and are rendered useless if you drive over, say, a nail. I hope the auto industry invests more in tweels, if for no other reason than they look cool as hell.
Camshafts are lovely things for sure, but the possibilities of camless engines with hydraulically actuated are nothing short of mind blowing. The power, efficiency, and flexibility could make all cars so much better.
Digital screens are replacing analog gauges in many modern cars, yet the dashboard design is still really influenced by those old gauges. A lot of automakers have figured out cool ways to use screens, but why not start from scratch and build the dash around the screen?
If Citroën could develop a hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension in the 1950s, I'd love to see what engineers could come up with today.
Right on, there are better 4x4's, but this one you can always count on, it's cheap and reliable, all generations have their quirks, but can be easily lived on with, my fathers 110 TD5 pickup is now 18 years old, around 200.000 kms and +-60% of those are offroad, still starts and runs like new, parts? mostly wear and…
Damn you, was about to post a pic of my 404 :)
Well, two plates are over century in europe, so I don't see where's all the fuss about, except ours are not that tall, but a lot wider.
Try this with a crappy beammer.
Ok, here we go.
Highway speedlimits only exists so cops can fine you. They have absolutely nothing to deal with safety.
I have the best OBD Lock, it's not on the market, it's quite simple, shuffle the obd data cables (not the power +12v one, that can be a problem) into new pins, make an adapter, hide the adapeter in a safe spot in the car, no one will be able to read from that plug.
Fastest sedan? Nope, Mercs, beammers and audi's are hitting that for a decade now... on diesel V6. A simple 2.2L Merc C220 hits easily the 250km/h, the V6 stock can hit 300Km/h, a remapped V6 can hit 300 on that track... on a diesel... don't get started on AMG's and M's
Those DS's are a pain to fix, most of the body just rusts away, complicated mechanics, if you are not in europe, prepare to spend more than buying a new vett, here we have plenty of them. About the lights, well, Citroen did maintain the rotating lights, I don't own a luxury car, or even the top of the line citroen,…
