I love this, would definitely consider owning one but agree it would just FAIL in the U.S.

We americans are too thick-headed to accept a wagon (under any name) unless it’s jacked up like an Outback. CUV’s have infested our enormous country and wagons have a stigma that is far from being shaken.

Sigh, oh well. 

It’s very cool for somebody to have and ride. It’s just a sub-2500 dollar bike (and that’s generous if i’m honest).

Agreed. Pretty car, it’s cool to see a fast street car lap around Monaco, but trying to pretend you’re making a successor is silly.

Ive been a FRS owner since the first year, so I see TONS exchange hands over the years on forum groups, etc...

LOVE this.

I wonder what the correlation between the american big truck buyer and the american that ignores the quarantine laws/regulations/suggestions?

I’m guessing high. The people I have seen protesting the pandemic precautions are the classic ‘Murica truck type.

I love Jerry and his comedy, as do I love standup in general so this (and the obvious car connection) hit all the right boxes for me.

So this show started on its own website, then shifted a bit after a few seasons. It became a bit harder to see the individual episodes and they had all these mix-tape style clip montages…

These “underpowered” gen3 MR2 get tons of flack but honestly they’re terrific to drive. It’s a cheap weekend drop-top, a cheap autoX car, or a really cool start of a track build.

NP for sure.

This show has (on numerous occasions) read my mind. I was starting to think the show was getting a bit too preachy/up its own ass/too clever for its own good with the past couple of episodes (especially the train one which was fantastic). There hasn’t been an episode I haven’t enjoyed thoroughly but this season…

I agree - Seen him a few times in the early 00's - post sitcom, pre... anything after... He is SO dialed in. Not my favorite stand-up that i’ve seen (close), but nobody is that smooth and polished. It was hugely impressive.

I did the same thing - and honestly the newer slightly more expensive (but still dirt cheap) flux core welder from Harbor Freight https://www.harborfreight.com/titanium-easy-flux-125-amp-welder-56355.html is MUCH better at the same thing. The main issue is the alternating current with the cheeeeeap one you mentioned…

This was one of those episodes where you can just FEEL Dan Harmon flexing on the world at how clever he is. It was very cool, fun and meta as hell, but not the best R&M have to offer. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed it and am always impressed at how unique, ballsy and clever this show continues to be.

Nearly the perfect order. Well done.

As a teenager, I remember knowing an older guy who had one just like this in the mid-late 90s. They’re much cooler looking in person, fwiw.

It’s like watching a hellcat autocross. Like, we’re all excited to see it there, kind of curious how it’ll do but it’s really not showing off a single thing it’s good at.

I don’t like that enormous and bulbous radiator/shroud/lower valance thing underneath it - but otherwise the cafe bike is GORGEOUS. 

My sister in law has had 2 volts (one just like this and more recently a 2nd gen one). They’re the perfect compact commuter car. I still find that this particular setup in drivetrain is the best setup for an EV. Zero range anxiety when leaving town and all the benefit of any of the traditional electric cars when…

Kia Soul? 

Maybe a Plymouth Prowler - not a great car to drive, but it looks so cool and crazy. Definitely made to pose, so that’d be my pick. I love how absolutely crazy it was for a production vehicle. 

I can’t wait to see what unfolds here.
