Parked right now, in our driveway. For decades I dismissed Rav4's as boring boxes of pseudo-adventure, not realizing that there had ever been a tiny 2-door variant. It’s rad!

Saw my first one at a Concours d’Lemons - was my absolute favorite.

There’s a series of videos on YouTube entitled “The Japanese Tradition”. As a former Eikawa teacher I can entirely vouch for all of them.

Is Carrot Top still doing PR for Lotus?

Cliché much?

That’s a very interesting counterpoint vis a vis Vette vs SVO and I agree that both cars in this case are desirable. I’m okay with whatever the rabble think as I gleefully drive our mint ‘90 Corvette convertible w/ 6 speed like I stole it. Total outlay at a Carlisle auction? $5k.

Your “irrational fears” are not very irrational. Proactive paranoia serves me quite well.

A close friend is a mid level exec at Bank of America. He’s upset because the top CxO’s and shareholders made a mountain off the tax cuts, but the company gave employees only the tiniest of year end bonuses - so small as to be an insult. So hooray for your small, insignificant company being one of the vanishing few

Black Mirror as usual predicts the outcome.

Hal Hartley’s “Amateur” features a scene with two geeky mafia accountants torturing a guy tied to a chair while debating the merits of the Nissan Altima. I honestly can’t fathom that scene NOT being on Youtube.

While I’m not justifying his malfeasance - I’d also like to point out that some executives award themselves much higher bonuses while simultaneously running corporations that are going bankrupt - aka - the American way.

Hear here! I dig the whirrrr of electric vehicles and even more than that I really REALLY like the sound of ... silence.

I can’t wait for loud Harleys to be a thing of the past.

I challenge all honest-to-god Jalops to thumb their noses at this stereotype and go buy a C4 Corvette and discover how much fun they are. We bought a mint condition ‘90 convertible with 6-speed for a paltry $5k and it’s amazing fun.

Don’t let the cliches spoil the fun, it’s still a car. It won’t con you into growing a
