I remember when they advertised these in the US they called it the Scoupe, pronounced like "Scoop."

Being that you're using km I'd say not.

Company I work for started getting them two days ago.

Can someone explain how these shifters work?

In college I had a 1989 Subaru RX, turbo, AWD with diff lock, manual trans, tons of fun.

You need to carry spare fuses.

About 15 years ago when I was in college I had this 1993 Nissan Sentra with a hell of a stereo in it. I was a on a trip from Morgantown, WV (college) to Louisville, KY (parents' house), subwoofers blaring the whole way, when the alternator started to fail just outside of Lexington. I was able to make it to the next…

Emile Leray will forever be the king of roadside repairs. In 1993 his Citroen 2CV broke down in the desert, and using only the contents of a basic toolbox and a hacksaw he rebuilt it into a motorcycle to get back to civilization.

It's a pretty simple equation really. 'Muricans love trucks. Gas is cheap. Lease payments on trucks are cheap, half the payment of buying in some cases. Result: lots of trucks being leased.

Diesel is easier to make though.

Land Rover Defender. It'll be needed when the roads fall apart, and hey, there won't be any US government around to seize and crush it!

Because 5 minutes in a Prius drives by and honks at him, and he opens the door and screams "Fuck you!"

This guy.

I honestly don't remember paying to go in, but maybe I did. I was hemorrhaging so much money when I was in Vegas I just started forgetting about it after a while.

The grey market American car dealerships you'll find occasionally in Europe.

As you said it's just a delivery center. The customer actually does the transaction at a normal car dealership, all they do in Wolfsburg is take delivery of the car.

Penske-Wynn Ferrari Maserati in Las Vegas. It's in a freaking casino, just steps away from the casino floor.

Did someone say fracas?

My first car was a 1990 Stanza very similar to this one, 5 speed stick, base model with manual everything. It had the same KA24E engine as the 240SX. It wasn't super quick by any means but plenty powerful enough for 17 year old me to do some seriously stupid shit with.
