Let’s never forget the engine in “The Beast of Turin”, the S76.

I’ve lived in a fair number of places in this country and driven in a lot more.

This seems like a very useful test of a new technology.

These trucks are pure industrial too, so it works.

Back in the day, the extended cab pickup version of this was my first “bought brand new” vehicle. I put 89,000 miles on it over 3 years and in that time, it needed exactly nothing beyond routine maintenance and a new fuel level sender.

These are phenomenally tossable little cars. I’d prefer the turbo and the later, Lotus tuned, suspension is appreciably better, but it’s old enough at this point, that it’s probably due for new bushings/springs/shocks anyway, so you could get most of the way there (or beyond, albeit without the later 5 link rear)…

I’ll take two please, one for each portal axle.

It lives in the uncanny valley between being vaguely tasteful in a colonial Williamsburg kind of way and being disgusting in a Liberty University kind of way.

The Titan got a fairly significant drivetrain (new transmission and increased engine output) and interior updates (mostly a large infotainment screen) for 2020 with minor exterior tweaks. If they don’t kill it, no sheet metal changes until 2022 or later, I’d say. 

There were more than a couple of these in my childhood neighborhood. Unsurprisingly, I really liked their angular beastiness. Of course, I was also smitten by the neighbor’s Lagonda, so maybe I’m just broken.

Had one of these as a rental car on my 1st visit to Tahiti, back in the 80s.

Perhaps it’s childhood nostalgia, but I’ve always loved the Allegro in all its forms.

This is another example of the military being corporate welfare more than something that’s actually run to meet its stated purpose.

So, same basic shape and same country of production (Korea), but unlike the horribleness that is the Actyon, the LeMans started as something at least a little bit better.

The bigger community of full time RV dwellers, who are primarily over 50 and not prone to #vanlife posts, are all facing similar issues. The closure of campgrounds, although rightly designed to limit the spread of the virus into communities less equipped to handle its repercussions, has created grave situations where,…

That would make her a typical Talbot buyer. Not unlike a Mitsubishi buyer today. 

I guess I should be giddy that I’ve seen it twice, but I live less than 75 miles from its homebase in Cheyenne. It is an amazing thing to behold on par with Concorde.

As a Coloradan, I can speak to the Subaru question. The short answer is no. The longer answer is, predictably, more complicated. If your HR-V has AWD, I’d say you’ll be fine with your current vehicles, depending on where you’re living. Some mountain towns have good snow removal on main roads, but pretty much no place…

Took my wife’s Nissan in for some emergency repairs last week. As she dropped me at the dealer, I noticed they were very well stocked with Leafs. Now I’m not a huge fan of the Leaf, but it got me thinking. If this goes on for the months I think it will, paired with the record low gas prices, 2020 Leafs are going to be…
