Well, they were needed. Nowadays washers will do,

I think you meant “extreme” temperatures, with quotes. The populated parts of Scandinavia are generally warmer than wide swaths of the American Midwest in the winter (and cooler in the summer, to boot). All that water in the North Atlantic does a nice job moderating their temperature swings.

I still don’t get the point of headlight washers. Does the pressure of the water clean off loose debris or something? Does it spray some kind of soapy compound? My mom had headlight washers in her old Envoy and they did diddly squat. All they did was wet the headlights; what’s the point in that?

My 4.3 S-10 was surprisingly good at turning gasoline into noise.

Sure it wasnt a Lambo?

Yes, and U.S. workers won’t be making them (of course), so they’re who loses out in the end. Corporate greed and political corruption know no bounds.

Someone please send him a copy of this book....

Yeah, I’d rudder not.

You could have been keeled!

If it makes sense to you to put a 8.3l V10 into a Z4, then a yellow cage makes all the sense in the world.

I’ll have to look at my (admittedly sketchy) records but I think we looked at that particular car a few years back. Tomorrow however, we go west young man.

Looks like the guy bought it from here:

It’s a solid A/C vette convertible. I’m a C4 vette guy myself, but this is fair market for what it is. Plus, these were still back in the days of the Lego car. Don’t like the motor? Pop it out and put a new one. Don’t like the auto? Hang a clutch pedal. Pop in a Muncie. No reprogramming necessary. Good paint, Spaceman…

fiesta ST? No.....The GTI is and will always will be the camry of hot hatches. I see a dozen a day driven by every single possible demographic you can think of. Ive never seen an ST driven by someone remotely old or feminine.

I’ve always gone in early-mid April. You might have to contend with a bit of rain, it tends to dry up quick, but the crowds are reasonable even on the weekends.

next time ask him if it covers you when you leave Cars and Coffee.

“Do you know how far away I was from being my high school valedictorian? My high school valedictorian went to Yale and is currently in medical school. I’m sitting in my bedroom eating Doritos and writing about mail I get. That’s how far.”

That’s the secret, timing.

There has already been an instance where someone has died due to a swatting incident. I believe a few years back someone was swatted, someone else in the household didn’t know what was going on and went for his firearm as the police were trying to enter and he ended up getting shot by the police.

Please come to COTA. Drive the Hill Country. Shoot guns with Ted Nugent. Stand in line for 5 hours to get BBQ in Austin. Central Texas is an insane pick your own adventure!
