I think some of you guys need to start thinking about overnighting parts from Taiwan... I know multiple bike shops local to me with shelfs full of 26" tires and tubes, WTB, Ritchey, Michelin, and of course the local Maxxis.

It’s still quite popular in Asia.

That was after the settlement. The TDIs were getting rerouted to rest of the world as soon as the US started banning them.

The little Island of Taiwan, where Diesel is cheap and the filler are of the same size as standard petrel fillers.

Where I live the government heavily subsides diesel, it’s basically equivalent to whatever the price of 87 is at any given week, thus you’d understand the popularity of diesel cars here. When the US had the VW diesel gate, VW shipped a whole bunch of their unwanted TDIs here, and people bought every one of them.

What you really want is the recently refreshed Skoda Octavia RS Wagon, one of the 2 cars I am contemplating putting a deposit on in the coming month.

Yes, but the Mazda 6 wagon comes with such a boring engine here in Asia, it’s all show and no go.

This is nuts, especially since a lot of aftermarket light kits comes with wireless remote now.

I doubt the Top Gear staff would let anyone other than Harris near the F40.

Technically, Jason is making money on the ChangLi, and he paid nothing out of pocket.

Frogger IRL

Will there be an endless supply of cheap cigars?

AliExpress will start sending him all sorts of free junk for him to unwrap and review. Jason’s gonna become the next Weibo sensation.

I’m ready to hold your beer Jason.

This one I really don’t understand. Why would anyone tattoo the symbol of a foreign power responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of their own fellow countrymen, quite possibly their own relatives???

I’m sure that’s the reason Esper gave him for sending the troops back.

For EVs w/ swappable batteries, definitely. The battery should be on an monthly subscription service with multi tiered rate plans, much like mobile subscription services.

No, this is much much worse. With Tiananmen Square, it was the central government giving orders to the military to crush the protests. This is your local police force doing as it pleases and unlawfully crushing the protest.

These tank tops should be mandatory for any officer riding in a Bearcat.

If you don’t own the battery, why would it matter to you which battery you receive from the swap station?
