Yep, and a little Perry Mason over lunch. Mainly because it was the only thing on that wasn't a talk show or a soap opera.

Any word if this is the same airship that Airship Ventures used to fly, called the Eureka? I know it was supposed to be disassembled and sent back to Germany. Would make sense for them to use the same one.

Hmm, maybe it didn't have a salvaged title. He's was running it, though I think he's moved on to a slightly newer WRX.

Yep. A big part of the "problem" is that used WRXs are so darn cheap, it's almost a no-brainer to pick one up and add some also-relatively-cheap bolt-ons to make it go fast. My brother picked up a bugeye WRX for $4k to use as the base of his car. $4k. Sure, salvaged title, but it's a rally car so who cares?

Exactly. In addition to the fact that it wasn't a planned evac, the exposure will result in more assistance for those in need. It's hard to underestimate the value of that, or predict what snippet of video will trigger someone in power to do the right thing.

Here, I'll answer it myself:

Sorry, I need more than that. Please try again.

Afterall less than 20% of the original car remains after its been converted to a rally car.

Not for a story intended to be local. Everyone in that city probably knows about the kiosks. Heck, I just assumed it, and I'm not from that city.

6 over? Depending on the speed, that could be well within the error factor of your speedometer. It could have been showing you going 1 mph over.

Got a schematic? For, ah, research purposes. :)

Yep, ticks all the "car commercial" boxes: quick cuts, random shots of things totally unrelated to the product, the car being used in an unlikely manner.

Well...I've stalled around too much. Time to get out to the garage and get the MG back on the road.

I've long held that, while the car is important, the road is actually the more important factor in enjoying driving.

Man...why are they using that gorgeous place as a bomb test site. If it weren't for the falling bombs, that'd make a nice spot for an exclusive resort, or a single residence owned by me.

Had this happen. Was borrowing my brother's Galant VR-4 after the Rim Of The World rally; my girlfriend (now wife) and I went over to Disneyland for a few days before driving home. On the way home, the oil light came on, and I shut it down and moved to the emergency lane. Quick inspection showed that the oil…

Unless, as others have said (and the city official alluded to in the article), the government-run station relies on taxes to stay afloat. Already they're in a better position than a private entity, because they used public funds to purchase and renovate the station. That's not necessarily socialism, but it *is*…

See, when Jalopnik said they were going to go see the "greatest spectacle in motorsports," I was expecting they were going to go to Bowman Gray. Instead they're going to some boring Nascar truck race. Oh, sure, it's on dirt, but it's not Bowman Gray.

One of the members of the 39-47 Dodge Truck mailing list that I'm on lost not only his house, but his '41 1-ton truck.

It does have all the trappings of a catalyst, doesn't it?
