Delta used to regularly fly 747’s ATL<->HNL right after they purchased Northwest. Not sure if the route is still serviced by those planes or not.

Honda’s fibers are actually ceramic fibers for the reinforcement. It’s somewhat of a mashup, with a similar finish etching process to Alusil with very similar results.

Yeah, I-70 from basically Idaho Springs out to Utah is the Grand Army of the Republic Hwy. When I first moved out here I was thinking “Yes! Clone troopers!”

That’s a good desktop resolution. I want a poster!

After I first drove, but before I owned a six speed, I kept shifting from 5th to Reverse.

This was also quite common when Honda was shipping the S2000, only theirs were black so they were impossible to see. Mine didn’t have them when I took delivery, however when my girlfriend also bought one (5 years used!!!!!) it had them in the springs still.

Whoa Whoa Whoa. I thought all of the Iranian F-14’s were sabotaged way back when as the US technicians were pulled out of Iran?

I’ve met the guy that built that car. Great work, but he said it’s just uncontrollable in such a light car when you drive it in anger.

Not necessarily. They are becoming quite rare, so any decent examples are getting snatched up left and right these days. As a teenager I remember being able to find these in junkyards all day long. Now I find myself looking in my state plus all surrounding states to just find one in the yard that miiiight have the…

I bought my '79 1200 for $600, in running condition, in 2010. The market has changed. I'd imagine that my car in the same condition 5 years later would sell for twice what this '75 is listed for. I've seen cars in worse shape than this sell for more, especially considering that it's a '75 model that is emissions…

To be even more pedantic, if you were in Germany "Bimmer" is pronounced "Beemer".

Tucker. Seriously, how is this even a question?

Maybe just bring back Preston Tucker and hire him on at Tesla. I bet the battery tech to come out of that duo would be quite impressive.

What convertible? Oh, just my S2000. This was during Snowpocalypse v1.0 here in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. Funny enough, one has no need for traction control when you enjoy driving sideways down every street, and the heat in this thing can be life-threateningly hot as well!

Unless you're cleaning it, I will murder you if you touch the inside of my windshield.

Europe did get it. And the US got it. We didn't get the DSG version in the US though.

Yeah, they are external speakers. The one that drove past me sounded like a freakin space ship! Sooooo cool

I know of a good camouflaged candidate... Reeeeaal big trunk for fuel capacity too. I'd bet you could do it on 2 fuel stops with the size of the trunk in the panther.

Something is probably happening with that. 3 weeks ago I saw two of them all camera'd and instrumented heading up and down Pikes Peak.

The Elefantenrennen is becoming too common everywhere in Germany, especially in the north where construction isn't helping things either. My personal favorite stretches are the A48 and A61 west of Koblenz. They are only 2 lanes, but are fairly lightly travelled, and also where I got to drive an insane 298kph in a…

Footos, the Fresh Fighter!
