The plural of Lexus should be Lexūs (long oo – it being a pun on luxus).

Camber angle on that Z71 looks unhealthy.

Volvo, of course.

Lego started out making wooden toys. The knobby plastic brick idea was inspired by (aka. stolen from) British company Kiddicraft (formerly Bri-Plax).

I thought turn signals on BMWs were already a $9999.99 optional extra?

So long.

Yes, image processing technology currently (and for the foreseeable future) is inadequate for self-driving vehicles. We constantly underestimate how good the human brain is at this sort of thing.

Yes, the Opel Monterey used the (gasoline and Diesel) Isuzu engines.

Really? From the C20LET to Irmscher’s DTM-inspired 3.0 (in the Omega Evo 500) and 2.5 V6 (in the Opel Vectra i500 and Vauxhall Vectra GSi, a Ford Mondeo ST200 and BMW beater) …

The Carlton’s engine is an inline 6, based on the regular 3 liter Opel.

Yes! In the spirit of this list, give it the drivetrain from the insane 90s DTM/ITC Calibra 4x4. The block was based on the Isuzu’s, anyway, and was supposed to make 500 hp for 1997.

Suttungamjöður (skald’s mead, from Norse mythology)

If the 15 hp of the Goggo motor are too much for you, Steinwinter has you covered – with the 250’s successor, the Junior, which boasts a massive 50 cc Fichtel & Sachs engine and 4.5 hp (top speed: yes).

You should try marzipan stollen without raisins, if you can find any. The village baker used to make them when I was a child. Unfortunately, she’s long since retired and unwilling to spill the secret recipe.

The word just means “ring” or “circle”. In my Franconian home, a (Neujahrs-)Kringel is made of yeast dough somewhat like a Hefezopf, without any fancy filling or icing at all – and we have to wait until after christmas ;o(
