Last time I was in a Mini, I had a paranoid delusion there was 28 white people in it.

My wife has a W124 Mercedes. It's an automatic, but I still feel like a (reasonably) lucky man.

Clearly, they're going to run the border. And it will be not at all staged whatsoever. Those Texas border patrol agents shooting at them will be in no way laughing up their sleeves.

Always been a Pinzgauer fan.

U no good cotomer sevis...

His Renault 5 Turbo from 1983.

What were the cars chasing him? Peugeots of some description?

I feel the tone of this discussion is too intellectual. So I'd like to mention that earlier this year I underwent a CT scan, and I pooped in the machine.

Very nice stories. I could watch this for a while.

Avoid traffic. Stop & go is the biggest drain on fuel efficiency for commuters and residential drivers. No matter what driving style you use to try to compensate for it. You're just fooling yourself.

I drive through #2 not infrequently, to get to the Sunset. I've never found it to be that bad. I'm usually there early in the morning or late at night on weekends, though.

The Lotus. Because Lotus. And you had me at 'manual.'

I'unno; first of all, I own a programmable thermostat, and that's a real robot.

One of my dream cars, and the condition seems good. I've seen them for less money, but this seems like a good middle-of-the-pack price, at least in my area. And a junkyard dashboard and a nice aftermarket wheel wouldn't add too much.

Yep; tires.
