Taobao is like a JC Whitney’s for Chinese car marques. I went there a couple months specifically to look for Baojun and Changan (Star Trek) badges, mud guards, gear shifter knobs and the like.
Yes, I would be amenable to rebadging my Chevy as something Chinese—for the shock value. :)
I sort of kind of invited them to drive the Tail of the Dragon. Maybe they could do that in Series 3 next year.
What about the urban legend of a couple going through a bitter divorce, husband says “sell my car and send me the money” and wife takes it to the “if it drives it’s worth Five Grand” dealership...
It’s a little known fact that GODDAMN is a sequel to AREA 88, in that two minor characters from that series re-appear in GODDAMN. Kaoru Shintani has also made FUTARI TAKA (about Grand Prix motorcycle racing) and HIDARI O’CLOCK (about a biker gang war).
Charles Foster Kane: You’re right, I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars *next* year. You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, I’ll have to close this place in... 60 years.

Had a Mercury Topaz back at the turn of this Century. It replaced a Ciera that “died” under mysterious circumstances when I was working a heavy commuting job in late 1997. Needed a car in a hurry and the Topaz was a repo at the bank where I did business...and it was the only repo they had that could be driven off…
1984 Ford LTD Crown Victoria sedan. 302 under the hood, and fitted out pretty well. No end to the power—when it was healthy. Very thirsty too, but gas was “cheap” in the time I was driving it.
1) Practice driving in wet conditions, because Florida gets wet a lot of the time.
2) I know the Crown Vic is a fabulous car for a college sophomore to have. Taking it off Mum’s hands was meant to be. But you should get rid of it as soon as you can.
3) I know about the man on US 19 with the TVR dealership. Yes,…
Has Thomas Dolby been notified?
If the Popes had continued to exercize their authority over the Western Calendars and added new days of the week as the outer planets became known, we’d have nine-day or ten-day weeks now.
I’m not surprised. In fact, I would have expected to see more privateers in Dodges these days.
KFC #1/Sanders Lodge in Corbin Kentucky has a full-sized figure of Harlan on display, or did last I was over there. I’m sure it scares small children from time to time.
Yeah, and it gets even weirder when you get into Chinese factories doing joint ventures with automakers from other nations. The following actually happens, although I’m changing the names for my own purposes.
Let’s just say that Rosetti (a company in Europe) gets together with the Phu Yuc Bright Industrial factory so…
Then have it about the Formula V8 3.5 circuit, which I actually like BETTER than F1. :)
I haven’t even seen the whole thing and I want a sequel, now that Haas is involved with F1, with Ricky going to Europe and Jean as his teammate or crew chief riding herd on the campaign.

How about all those times a story is set in Florida and something happens in a “basement”? Florida houses DON’T HAVE BASEMENTS. It’s impossible to build them that way because the water table is so high in the ground. The Disney people learned this the hard way when they started building Walt Disney World—they wound…
