Impressive that a member of royalty would ride with the proletariat on the air equivalent of a greyhound bus.

When the third rows face backwards again, the happy comeback will be complete!
Remember George W. Bush's speech to the joint session of Congress, post 9/11 where he announced the formation of The Department of Homeland Security? I don't remember the part about crushing cool cars, buying tanks for small town police forces, groping children at airports. Normally I'm a pretty liberal kind of…
I would almost like driving this as much as my trophy wife in our affluent suburb would.
Merde que! pipe à crack!
It goes back before cars. Western bred horses, which is more laid back and for traversing long distances on the range. English saddle bred riding leaves riders more upright and ready to maneuver quick on the equestrian course or fox hunt. This difference carries over directly in the motorcycles with the Harley…
I submitted it myself in the sea of replies, then I replied to your post when I saw your name. Plus, I like any excuse to post a blue Polestar on the internet!
I respect your post, really do, but shouldn't you be posting your namesake car?
It had taken 156 replies before anyone brings up the Polestar? I'm ashamed of you Jalops, ashamed! Do we have to paint it brown?
That was the era of the robber-baron. Cars were a toy for the rich back then. It sounds like an appropriate car of its time. Now, we have people plugging their electric cars into other people's power outlets, which proves that history repeats itself.
I think Jalopnik should have a full on Top Gear format show. The main difference is each writer would have creative license for their segment. Some of the folks with the sub blogs would have features on a rotating basis. There's enough talent at Jalopnik for it to be as entertaining as Top Gear. Torch's would b the…
It's one of those unique Crack Pipes where a Crack Pipe may have been involved in its creation. Maybe Meth if it's in Hillsborough.
For different reasons, each of these would be interesting:
On I-40, in the Smoky Mountains, I happened upon a convoy of Vipers leaving a gathering at (I assumed) the Tail of the Dragon. It was raining buckets and when I passed them in my Saabaru, the drivers all had some scared shitless looks on their faces.
It's funny you ask that. The car's caretaker (how do you get one of those jobs?) was taken aback that I asked I asked. He then graciously allowed it. He indicated that I was the first person at that particular concours who had the balls to ask to sit in it. I wish I could find the picture I asked him to take of me…
"I'm living proof you can still get that ass when you are old, bald and married".
As my sweet old grandma would say, his heart is in the right place, buuuut....all kinds of CP price.
At first glance of the headline, I thought "so what, he's probably flying first class on Virgin Atlantic". Then I saw American and US Air and suddenly became impressed.
Nine years ago, I had a shot at sitting in one. Climbing into the middle seat was not as awkward as I thought it would be, but getting out was a chore, especially when it's not your car. The build quality was first rate. Everything about it was all business. I wish I could have been around to hear it start up.
They should use it to make a Fiat 500 Hellkitty.
