Metallic teal, just a little darker than this, depending upon the light.  We painted a Bertone X1/9 that color around 1991/1992. Very unique color. The customer loved it, and it got a lot of attention.

Yep.

It’s too bad an idiot is attached to what firmly needs to be done. 

Yep.  I think he just showed his hand as a single issue voter:  My money is the only thing that matters.  I wonder how he votes. 

It should survive a very long time in the dry California atmosphere. This car, and others like it in class from that era, had very little rust proofing. It’s just a simple business decision to deliver a product at a certain price point. Nothing more, and certainly not a knock on the design or engineering.  Anywhere…

Or helium filled balloons….

A million times this.  Time to stop the nonsense. 

 For the US, the Lancia Scorpion (known as the Monte Carlo in Europe). Over nine or so years, about a thousand (?) made it to North America. It evolved into the Lancia Rally 037, which took the WRC 1983 title.

Grew up in the 80s.  Even had a friend with an 84.  It didn’t survive the Las Vegas heat very well.  

Any overcompensation vehicle that is large and lifted.

4.44 miles per kW. Efficiency through good aerodynamics and efficient electrics.

A little of that, but primarily good aerodynamics. This isn’t some brick of a high riding suv trying to cut through the air.

Allow me to translate what Rhodes wants to accomplish. He wants to bring Chrysler back to a time of mediocrity, a time when the domestics got their asses handed to them by the imports, for putting out junk. And here we are, in the early 21st century, with them primarily becoming a truck and agricultural vehicle…

So I could get popped for a walking path of similar proportions if I didn’t pull permits? I’m at about 1/5 or 1/6 of that track’s total length and material make up.

Austin is a shining beacon surrounded by a sea of mediocrity which is the rest of Texas.  You’re lucky to have some semblance of civilization there. 

That’s nothing. The Greater Los Angeles area is 33,954 square miles.  Talk about seriously spread out.  Trucks?  The ports of LA and Long Beach are right there, supporting the majority of the country.  

All the muscle cars?  All the same mods, with way too much chrome. 

I have it on the highest authority the modulation frequency can be calculated by the following equation:  C/555 X 10 ^ -9.  

My 10 year old Fiat 500e was performing flawlessly with over 115k miles on the clock until a newly licensed kid destroyed it two weeks ago. 

Still no small car EVs in the plans.
