Offset crank pins. Boxer.

Oooo...yeahhhh, ummm...I’m gonna have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there. Superficially, the cars serve the same market, those looking for the flair of a two seat convertible. From a driving perspective, they are different species in the same jungle. One thing they do have in common aside from door and…

Holy hell, they had points! In 1979! It’s like the Germans were trying to unload NOS junk parts on the US market. Points and a Holley, best way to make a car run like shite in short order.

I don’t remember those engines being horrible, but American Mutilation Corporation managed to screw them up with a Holley or Holley-like carb. ChryCo did the same with the 1.7 VAG in the Omni/Horizon crap boxes.

1977 Pontiac Astre if you want to stay GM, if you want the worst of the worst distilled, adapted, converted and hacked together home for an Iron Puke, I give you the 1980 AMC Concord.

Unconfirmed internet sources state that is not an Alternate Fact.

5+ more years? All caps words and expletives? This is an example of why we need to get rid of our failing public school system. Sad!

Some people “need” to be @$$holes. It’s a very non-exclusive club.

Challenge: Find a real easter egg in a Japanese car.

A wolf isn’t going to get that close to you. A pack of wolves that close? Well, you’re no longer at the top of the local food chain and don’t have much longer to worry about it.

Wear rate from use ~= rate of proton decay.

Unpopular because they were irretrievable junk from day one. Let’s start up front with the fenders that rotted out on top after a year or two in the North, the same as their predecessor. Then we can move under the hood to the steering boxes that were somehow loaded incorrectly and wore out prematurely, which would in…

A shiny turd is still a turd on the inside. That one is full of corn, too.

It might not steer at all and that’s no load of bull.

Aren’t you the guy that puts Beetles on their roof with the tires spinning helplessly in the air above them?

In Soviet Russia, everyone get star according to ability and need.

Siping new tires is ridiculous. Buy the right tire in the first place, there are plenty to choose from. The only reason to sipe a road tire is when you don’t have enough money to buy a set of winter tires. For all other conditions, they generally have lower performance than the original design. If we did’t have snow…

Humans are also good at producing incomplete and ambiguous information. Machines are predictable, humans are less so. I’ve always assumed that humans are the most complicated factor in development of autonomous transportation units.
