As @Rugged Simplicity says: I can’t run my car on hydro. There’s a good many other applications were it doesn’t work well either.

Exactly. We have an energy storage problem, not an energy generation problem.

Making the carscape less boring is a laudable aim, but I think I’d rather spend $115.000 on this grand old machine, and use the rest to keep it running as it should.

Klopt!

Millions upon millions of European families use Golfs to get around every day- it’s the best selling car there, and the default choice for young families. It’s inconceivable that it wouldn’t work.

Velour’s one thing the French in general were good at, and the 504 Coupé in particular:

When did Alpine become Alpeen?

Glad I'm not the only one whose eyes hopped straight to that righteous Pug.

So close, it might be worth chatting up some dealers for a deal.

Can’t believe that I had to scroll down this far for a mention of ‘The Wind Rises’.

So two weeks’ rent on a 911 would cost me more than my entire 924S did. And I get to keep the 924. And it’s my favourite spec, manny tranny included. And it’s not going to blab to anyone about anything.

They're different classes: the Zoe is a supermini, and the Leaf a C segment family hatch. Nissan doesn't have an EV supermini, and Renault no EV C segment hatch.

Strong shell.

Ceci n’est pas une Deudeuche.

I think he’s on to something here; take the decision to diagnose away from the drivers.

Some entrepreneur needs to set up a car rental agency in Tokyo for visiting jalopnik gaijin. The cars need to be interesting, but affordable, and fun to drive without being so fast that you get into trouble.
