My favorite part of the story is that you used my photo of an RR Silver Spur, taken at Lime Rock. Sorry I didn’t see a grey one.

As if anyone is going to be more confused by a Great Wall sticker than a Scion one.

I, too, recently read “Other Minds” by Peter Godfrey-Smith. But this is not the track my mind followed as a result...

Insane. Not only do inspections keep everyone safer, but when carried out correctly they mean cars are maintained better. I bid you look at an average old car in a market with proper inspections (most European nations, for instance) versus the shitheaps one confronts here. Japan’s Shaken laws are obviously nonsense,…

Thanks! I even miss DAF vs FAF, that was how I first began reading Jalopnik at all.

I mean, at least the (official) gas mileage is considerably improved. Which is after all the main reason for buying sports cars.

When they write “handcrafted”, all I can think of is sandwiches. That word has lost any sheen it had.

Yep, and in some cities you can take a hybrid in the HOV lane without having a passenger. That’s worth a lot to some.

Meanwhile, Delta employee could have said:

Oh my f-ing god. They had three seats on the flight, in addition to one on the earlier one.

He bought an additional ticket. They thus had two tickets for their 18-year-old son - one on this flight and one on the earlier one. Then they hoped to use the older son’s now empty seat for the baby seat.

I dunno, that would explain a few things.

Not in New York. Here they drive Maseratis.

I know that raspberry metallic - it’s cheerful in the same manner that the decorations in the rec room at the Bellevue Psych Ward are.

I missed the April 10th and April 17th entries. Or did I read them and forget about it?

How could they forget? My dad had a pink Corsica (sorry, dad, “Plum”) that he bought used from Enterprise rentals. To replace a blue Dodge Spirit, also ex-rental...

I was just going to bring up Tempo Fanatic - I was reading this thread waiting for his reply. Havent been here since like 2010 myself...

Next I want an explanation of how exactly a GB Special Fuji differs from a Monaco. And then, go check out the Chevrolet Veraneio.

The Volumex option for the Lancia Trevi - 30% price increase, 135 instead of 122 hp, but the added weight and higher gearing meant worse acceleration throughout the gears. Meanwhile, the gas milage dropped like a stone.

Additionally, you no longer get four-wheel drive - admittedly only a $3000 option on the S550, but still.
