Ever seen a crash test on an old Datsun 1000?

Actually...you could create a whole line-up of vehicles with beastie names that were regionally specific...and manufacturer appropriated

Yep. It’s easy to forget that Datsun is already back from the dead in other parts of the world that aren’t America.

The most technically true thing about my crappy car that I can say that will beat off any high tech performance car porn you could lay eyes on at a Cars & Coffee...
