A hippo in a skirt is still a hippo. She might charge well, and being vegetarian under the skin she might be easy to maintain, but no amount of upskirt will deny the truth that there is a hippo lying down there somewhere. Like graverobber said, she'll be fun to ride in a straight line but don't expect anything kinky.
@lilwillie: This one. #cotdnominations
Lé No.
It was either removed or is not available due to privacy settings. Damn.
@duurtlang: It's a bit unfortunate that after posting that picture and looking back at them, they look equally soapish and bland. I completely understand the confusion (Though I do like the Yaris as a subcompact with its VVTi engine and light weight, it's no Honda Jazz (Fit))
Um, the Auris is the Yurpean Corolla HB, the Yaris is something completely different.
@Walter Pavlik II: My point was why make people walk around the car? It's obviously symmetrical in size, so why make such a big deal of a door (just like you would say why make such a big deal out of getting in from one side).
@Wishes MINIs had whale tails: It was a 1982 2-door, but had a 2.6 or 3.2 liter engine from a later year. We sold it in 1994 when we moved to Turkey.
@wolfy-E30 325is in t-minus 6 months!: It was written 55k earlier. 5.5 Is just ridiculous, unless it was in seriously bad condition.
@duurtlang: That's why I want a Panda Cross now. 1.3 liter Multijet diesel, locking 4x4, good enough ground clearance and great approach and exit angles.
Isuzu Trooper. My father bought it at 600,000 km with 200,000 on the 'new' engine. It was at 970,000 when we sold it. I've seen Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Syria and Jordan in that car, but due to the insatiable appetite for travelling it instilled in me, I have seen much much more. It kept us alive in the desert, in…
@cycle-ops: Don't get too hooked. I stopped cycling (injuries) and I've realized I'm becoming a slob. I blame obsessions such as these for part of it as it gives me means and motive to spend hours trying to get a perfect brew (which is whatever tastes good at the time, really).
55k sounds like a little weaksauce for a celeb wagon. Hopefully this will fetch better.
@GaryMyMan: I thought the engine, gearbox, and key suspension components were all derived from the Scuderia along with most of the chassis, with subframes manufactured to incorporate changes in width, length, and mounting points for both the drivetrain and body.
@cycle-ops: I had some obscure french press with a Pyrex beaker, and it broke (I dropped it but I blame the cat, another commenter has a picture of it somewhere down this thread). I've replaced it with a Bodum, and to be honest the Pyrex was better. The filter was better, the screw mechanism on the stem was better,…
Enzo would have liked Jim.
@cycle-ops: I wish I had picked up a big one when I found them for dirt cheap in Spain. Now I use a french press, but those are in a different league. Also, you get a heart-klik for some great comments on bikes, cycling, and finally this.
@chauncy that billups: I had that exact press, and now I don't (I dropped it and it broke). Now I just need to find a way to steal a Pyrex beaker from the pharmaceuticals faculty labs...
Congrats. On rubbing it in.
Put some thought into it:
