you know, however, it wasn't but a year to 18 months before Nissan announced the Leaf that they were saying they had not plans of producing an electric or hybrid because the technology just wasn't feasible yet for large scale production.... Either they crammed a decade of development and tooling into a year and a…

it's funny to see playing with the classification going in that direction, usually, like with the PT Cruiser it was towards it being a truck to be exempt from certain EPA regs.

there's that too.

what are the return policies on rental cars containing vomit?

Thanks to the absurd Chicken Tax, the Subaru BRAT had two bed-mounted jump seats in order to be sold in the US. Unwittingly, Subaru made a perfect and terrifying vehicle for transporting drunks.

I wish we'd gotten one of these instead of our caravan. Toddler's and infants are worse than drunks.

The Favorite toy i never got.

A family friend has/had (not sure if he still does) the very last of these to roll of the line. It was an incredible car. He said it had no problem out running his 300zx turbo, and he'd hit 170 in it when plenty more to go. I loved how subtle it was. not insane like some of the AMGs, but could blend in and still blow…

The entire structure was made of wood or composites (again mostly woodbased and fiberglass) down to the threaded rods, nuts and washers (my dad has a few rods lying around with…

This is one of my favorites, mainly from having family involved. Not as secret (considering you can drive up pretty close to it if you can get on base) but had a lot of sensitive projects.

Gotcha, just more pronounced then the last time i looked.

i guess that's what it is, just more pronounced then the last time i looked.

speaking of shadowy air bases, is it just me, or has area 51 added a couple new landing strips?

In the South These are summer tires.... Give them a try.

I have always wanted to do a show where i buy a dirt cheap and barely running classic, perhaps a convertible. and hit the road for a full lap of America. Everywhere the car breaks down, is where i make an episode about. Could be anywhere. It would be whatever i can find to do while the mechanic is tooling away on the…
