How about the myth that it’s illegal to drive without a license plate if your car is being used as a private mode of transportation?

Heh. Japan assimilating immigrants - funny joke.

Isn’t Japan’s population in pretty much terminal decline? Do they really need a new city? Is the plan for the whole place to be populated entirely with robots like in that Yul Brynner movie?

Look, the point is that the late 60s was an extremely challenging and precarious time for Volkswagen. How to replace an archaic, yet highly profitable model with a loyal following that was still selling extremely well and setting new sales records despite its age. And Volkswagen failed completely and expensively -…

Only after several expensive and embarrassing false starts and failures over the course of nearly a decade. And the Beetle still wound up remaining on sale for some 29 years after the introduction of its eventual successful replacement.

Surprisingly, a certain segment of the population seems to buy based on price and utility, vs. style and modernity. It's the same attitude that kept things like the Nissan Tsuru and Hindustan Ambassador going for so long, it just hasn't been seen in the US for like 30 years.

Also, the V6 gets a genuine 30mpg highway in the real world, not just the laboratory. Which is actually not far off the real user reported economy numbers for the 4-cylinder Mustang, a smaller, lighter car with less seating and trunk space. For what it is, a big, plush, highway cruiser, the Challenger is actually…

This actually has to kind of scare the crap out of product planning executives at Fiat Chrysler Peugeot. They have the oldest product in the segment, a generation older than its competitors, that somehow keeps performing better and better as it ages. They need to replace it with a more modern design, but customers are…

The Beetle stopped production in 2003, the nostalgic tribute to the Beetle is what’s stopped now.

Elio has been such a frustrating exercise in overcomplication and waste from the very beginning.

Like most problems in life, Ronco has the solution.

So, like New Jersey when it's raining?

I have it on good authority from several family members in law enforcement that you can get reasonable suspicion if you follow just about ANY car for long enough, because few drivers are truly perfect. Maybe you crossed the shoulder line briefly, maybe you signaled a turn too late, maybe you seem to be weaving a…

Size would be key, both to carry enough fuel and enough paying passengers to make it viable, and because an overnight trip would require sleeping accommodations that day ferries don’t have.

Ive always wondered if there could be a business case for a high speed transatlantic ferry. I mean, you already lose a full day flying anyway, so if you could offer something with zero baggage restrictions, the ability to bring your car, continuous high speed internet and cell phone connections, and on board…

Especially considering the great view of the factories they get from Chicago

Good, because I’m sure one human hand was totally killing the realism of a bunch of singing and dancing humanoid house cats.

Depends - is it an older vintage car that’s only going to be used on weekends, a truck that I’m using for yard work and Home Depot runs, or a camper that’s going to a couple music festivals a year? In those cases, mileage is pretty much irrelevant as opposed to general condition of the vehicle.

As a millennial, I find that information reassuring.
