I remember back in the 90's, when the Concorde’s noon departure from JFK used to go right over Rockaway. Because it took off at a faster velocity, they had to hold all takeoffs for about 5 minutes, lest the Concorde overtake the last plane. Then the Concorde goes overhead, at maybe 2000 ft.

Unless he’s a francophone, I’d bet that was his name all the way through school....

Well, before you get all nostalgic, remember it had a live axle on leaf springs, and they rusted very quickly.

Only cost you $16 in electricity? I doubt that gasoline would’ve cost you that much, even at Quebec pump prices.....

Getting out: I assume there was an aftermarket sliding rear window on the cab. Still, the greatest weight was on the front axle; why didn’t he just drive it in forward????

Funny how the “most influential car” has a dead-beam rear axle on leaf springs.......

(snicker!)

Hey, F1 had a lot of creative cheaters, as well. How about the 10 gallon radiator overflow tanks from about 20 years ago? They would add an extra 80-ish pounds of coolant into the tank on the last pit stop, so that the car wouldn’t be underweight at the end.

Had a 1986 Omni GLH turbo I used to rally. Decided it needed a straight-pipe exhaust, to “help it breathe better”. Yeah, got a bit more power at full throttle (and lousy driveability at anything less...) but WOW, did it backfire! Sounded like a cannon! I got red-carded at an autocross once for exceeding the noise…

I think the key phrase here was “80 lb. juvenile male”. Kinda like some 10 year old punk trying to rob you with a baseball bat.....

So.....this proves that a wayward strap can cut through .050" of plastic? Not surprised....

The owner of my company lives about 400 miles away, and drives about once a week here in a Tesla. For this type of driving (long highway miles), the extra aerodynamics would probably decrease the charging time enroute, making the commute shorter.

He probably completely missed the meaning of “regenerative”....

Oh, good lord, just LOOK at those headlights all askew! What is holding them in? Hardware store brackets? I’d bet they vibrate when the engine is running...

I was 16, and finally got my dad to take me out to drive his 1971 AMC Matador sedan (with non-power steering, non-power brakes, a real ‘nut cover special). now, I’d already learned the basics of driving over at a friend’s farm; he had a ‘lot car’, a beat-up old Saab, where I learned the basics of driving, with a…

Around there in upstate NY, they wear snowtires on the rear year-round.

Well, let’s hope it doesn’t go THERE......

Good lord, the hubris. How many vulnerable ex-patients of his ended up committing suicide? He should just crawl under a rock and die.

GAC should market these in the US. They need some sort of mascot to go with their name, though. I’d bet that “Bill the cat” from Bloom County is available. All he would have to do is just say the name....GAC!!!!!!!

No, only over at The Root.
