Umm first gen Rambler wagon actually. The grill is an easy way to tell it apart from the squareback. With a Ferrari power train.

You'll understand this joke if you watch the video of this crash haha

The lambo reference is to the kids who took the video and said, “I’m pretty sure that’s a lambo dude”

Or they end up crashed in a lake, like this lambo

Sometimes, if those old exotics are lucky and the planets align just right, they are reincarnated.

Whoever allowed this Lotus to rot deserves to die a slow, painful death.

+1 for the Prius for the sheep. I was torn between that and a crossover.

The New York Times’ article used the word “chilling” twice in introducing their article. Once in the headline, “1950s U.S. Nuclear Target List Offers Chilling Insight”.

This is to clever by half, if you lived in a western country you were protected by these weapons. That said we did have some crazy plans but at least we were on the side of democracy and freedom.

Thank you. I don’t understand why people seem insulted by these articles. I don’t think you said in the article that the car would be cheap to own. Anyone buying a twin turbo v12 all wheel drive destroyer worlds should know this. If they have $55k to spend on a car, surely they have the foresight to do the research…

I think, in the event of a nuclear exchange, the possibility of being hauled before a court for law of armed conflict violations is probably pretty low on the “critical vulnerabilities” list.

I lived a few miles away from a major sub base on the east coast and we always we were on their list.

A Bentley has expensive maintenance, especially if done at the dealer. This is not news. You can do some of the work yourself or have a good independent mechanic with dealer-level diagnosis available and save money. This is also not news.

Bentleys have to have some modules version coded and married to the car, but…

Try living in Dayton near Wright-Patterson AFB. We looked at reports detailing what a nuclear strike would do to Dayton and the surrounding areas in school. I took some solace in the fact that a wall of fire would engulf me before I could feel sorry for myself and my loved ones.

Well, MAD is not short for MADMSO, or Mutually Assured Destruction of Military Sites Only.

I’m sorry, what did you think Mutually Assured Destruction meant? That was the whole point. Nuclear deterrence is all about the idea that if you attack, you won’t have a country left, even if you “win”.

I grew up on an Air Force Base. We would often joke about being a top tier target as almost a source of pride.
