Could be. But in the case of its contemporary, the Aston Martin Lagonda, designers at least has the good aesthetic sense to relocate the incongruous mechanical odometer out of sight and under the hood.

Subaru engineer #1: “But what about that mechanical odometer in the corner? Shouldn’t we digitize that, too?”
Not surprising. I imagine the Merc driver had plenty of time on his unplanned sightseeing tour to write down the phone number on every PI attorney billboard he passed that proclaimed: “Injured by an 18-wheeler? We’ll fight for you! (And our 40% contingency fee.)”
Sounds like a case of cigarettes wouldn’t be a bad addition to a Le Mans photographer’s kit. In the same way that taking a box of Milk Bones to a junkyard never hurts.
Maybe the previous owner could’ve commissioned Aston Martin Works to replace that fugly Ford Taurus steering wheel while they were at it.
I had forgotten about the Virage so completely that when I scanned the headline, I read it as “Vantage”. So forgotten is the Virage that in my mind there was only one Aston Martin model that began with ‘V’ and ended in ‘AGE’.
This begs the question: why do you have a gas filler neck in a diesel-powered truck?
When you consider that a significant portion of the population believes that 9/11 was an inside job, that Sandy Hook was a false flag operation and Hillary Clinton was running a child prostitution ring out of a Washington, D.C. pizza parlor, the idea showing up in the comments that Jalopnik’s editorial staff…
Even though not all diesel pumps are high-volume with 30mm OD nozzles, they are still different (24mm OD) than unleaded gasoline nozzles (21mm OD).
Not many people know this, but the Sable’s light bar was actually an indicator system. One out of four bulbs illuminated indicated that the Sable’s on-board automatic panty-dropper was operating at only 25% capacity.
I wonder why the front-end heckblende never caught on?
Mr. William F. Buckley, Jr.-but-with-a-crippling-brain-injury sounds like fun at parties. Or should I say “soirees”?
More torque than most full-sized trucks. 0-60 in 5ish seconds. Damn near 40 mpg on the highway.
I didn’t say alternative forms of “identification”, I said alternative forms of “substantiation” that go towards probable cause. She had a license, a legitimate form of ID, but the officer needed substantiation, of which a passport is an example, to judge the ID to be valid. She provided what she could, but the…
No. It’s also worth noting that the Georgia DDS guidelines state that an officer may request and examine a passport or visa, if available. Some very light language suggesting nothing of consequence if said documentation isn’t available, don’t you think?
It really seems like there was some lack of common sense on the part of the arresting officer. Their guidelines state that an officer MAY request a passport to verify the validity of the DL. The guidelines are NOT: if foreign driver has no passport on them, arrest them; they are a tool to help an officer determine the…
“It’s a left-hand drive vehicle, but in the middle, where a manual shifter would be, there is instead a lever.”
Yeah. Pictures of the wreckage show that the welds just snapped as if it were assembled merely from Tinkertoys. A belt did him no good if the entire seat had ripped itself free from the chassis.
Battery replacement only requires re-programming if you switch battery types (AGM to flooded lead-acid, or vice versa) or change amp-hr rating. Be sure to buy a spec-to-spec replacement and you can avoid the hassle.
Wagons in the US only came/come in the 328 flavor, if I’m not mistaken.
