So, one of Trumps kids is selling this behind his back right? I mean there is no one else on the planet with that rarified level of “taste”.

Standard product feature on all British Leyland vehicles. 

I agree. A Toyota, hell any Toyota is going to get you around the world. Anything that breaks you’ll be able to find. This applies all over the middle east, through south east Asia, Africa and Australia especially.

Well considering this kind of thing, “Rebecca Hogue, 29, was convicted in November of the first-degree murder of her two-year-old son Ryder, under Oklahoma’s “failure to protect” laws.”

Years ago I saw the sweetest bit of karma happen to some cops who’d “parked” with that typically arrogant, diagonal “don’t give a shit” method they adopt instead of pulling in to an actual bay.

How many recalls has Ford, or GM or anyone other than Tesla had because of dumb ass gimmick they actively included in the vehicle, such as the boombox, gameplay while driving, etc, as opposed to actual component failures or faults?

A ZIL, fucking awesome.

The paddles seem silly, the power take off from the crank is right there in the correct position to drive a propeller.

It’s pretty clever really, when you consider the truckers want to end “man dates”...

I kinda dig it, but $29k? Fuck.

“While converted to automatic, the Wagon still sports its clutch pedal and a tall shifter to mimic the original manual style. That’s a nice touch.”

C’mon, everyone knows the real bumper was the spare just inside the hood. The chrome thing curving around the front was for drying your onions and garlic on. 

Just awesome.

Look it’s fine. Just dump the suspiciously squishy, large, black plastic wrapped package in the trunk somewhere and you’re golden! 

“There’s no point acting all surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display in your local planning
department in Alpha Centauri for fifty of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start
making a fuss about it…

First thing my dad said to me when I started learning to drive, “Assume everyone else on the road is an idiot.”

This kind of shit is exactly why it’s becoming more and more obvious that the dark ages have truly returned.

I use pop rivets a lot, have for many years. I have an ancient Marson tool, you can get replacement jaws for them which is the only thing that really wears out and only then if I use a lot of stainless steel rivets.

Just as a sanity check, this happened here in Western Australia a few months ago.

In other news, Tesla also decided that a spare tire was no longer required as it added weight and was of no use to most buyers who had no idea how to change a tire anyway.
