I guess it depends on what you want from a car. I’d take a 289, too (or one of the Lotus V8-engined cars built by AC in the ‘90s), but I understand why someone would want the 427. This, however, I do not get.

Just looks like a video game version of a Cobra. If you asked ChatGPT to “modernize the Cobra” this is exactly what you would get.

I think there are a lot of unknowns. I don’t see gas prices going down over the long term, but I can envision electricity costs skyrocketing as well - in large part thanks to EV adoption.

So I guess the automobile industry has officially jumped the shark?

1977; take your pick. Except the Matra Rancho, Suzuki Cervo, Lada Niva, the Alfa Giulietta, and the Porsche 928. Maybe things weren’t as bad as I have been told?

Reverse: In 1958, Subaru’s very Second Car was presented. Subaru had already built the Subaru 1500 (P-1) in 1954 - sure, only 20 examples were made, but 14 of them were sold to private buyers.

This sucks, because whenever I drive by this dealer I like to sniff around their lots with a camera - I expect them to be slightly less welcoming after this.

It wasn’t due to driving habit, it was because the Accord Sport has low profile 19-inch tires, meaning that they get damaged very frequently on the assorted holes and ridges called “roads” here in Queens.

Yep. He just had to drop $2,700 last time he serviced it. Bwahahah... wait, that’s my wife’s possible inheritance he’s throwing away! Dayum.

This. Typical human justifying the purchase they wanted to make anyhow. My FIL upgraded from a Honda Accord Sport to a Subaru Forester (draining his savings account and being deeper in auto debt hole) so that he wouldn’t have to spend so much on tires (which I had warned him about before he bought the stupid Accord).

1) Do you think the person who prints out the sticker every day also re-reads the fine print every day? 2) Based on the article I would assume these were installed in every car they changed oil on that day.

Not exactly the same, but to illustrate the pettiness of our previous Governor Cuomo, he made the DOT change all the signs for the Tappan Zee Bridge after he renamed it for his daddy (absolutely no one asked for this; the original, 60-year-old name refers to the native tribe from this area and Zee is Dutch for “sea”).…

ah, I missed the “motor” part... I was going to ask how you manage to use six litres per day but I realize this is not a court of law, and who cares anyhow. Perhaps it’s a rotary-engined Norton and you have to set some money aside for shamans and apex seals to keep it running.

How do you only save £25 if the train ticket is £35? Spend the extra ten quid on power bars?

Your attitude is atrocious. Ever hear of Immanuel Kant? F everyone but me and mine is not a way to make a world, and you’re not being a realist but a selfish a-hole.

Brilliant. Who’s your co-worker, Baron von Münchhausen?

Volkswagen building Scouts has a certain dissonance - Volkswagen in my eyes is all about leading edge tech, incredible finishes, and missing reliability. International’s products were all about low (or no) technology, agrucultural finishes, and being infinitely dependable. Hopefully they will combine the best parts...

What, you mean like a Holy Grail?

The steelies help, but I just can’t unsee the schnoz...

So they won’t get the cool looking pieces. Not a problem. There will be plenty of Menards and Haband (look them up!) clothes left.
