I’d like to see that thing on the dyno! 

Mark Trail? Wow, I haven’t seen that one in a very long time. 

The Mustang of the era was okay, I suppose, but the Capri just didn’t do anything for me.

Nah, the lady in black is gazing over at them, thinking, “look at those poor sods. They’re driving the same crap car as we are.”

I never read “Mary Worth” or “Rex Morgan, MD” for that very reason. They were always in the middle of something, and I didn’t know what was going on. Actually, it was the same with DC and Marvel comics too. Now Hollywood pumps out so many comic book based movies, and I don’t know who the hell any of these people are.

Most are more conveniently placed. Reaching over to the center console seems very awkward. 

It’s not necessarily untrue that this is unrelated to Brexit. They make Civic hatchbacks there, and since demand for cars is cratering, it makes sense that they’re probably a little slow there. 

It’s ugly, and not just this year’s model. They were ugly 10 years ago. Yuck. Worst of all, it’s an ugly minivan. I don’t want one. I don’t care how nice it is inside. 

I’m glad I live in Alberta. 

Good point. Of course, we think of Honda as being an import brand here in North America, but it’s almost entirely domestic.

I really like him when he was driving for Jaguar.  I was always hoping that, by some miracle, he could pull it off with them. It would have been great for the British fans. 

I think that Jenson has always “just looked like he’s trying to have fun and race some cool shit.” I hope he keeps it up for a long, long time. 
 

Why not let the brand die in North America? Let it be a Chinese brand. It’s sacrilege, I know, my Grandfather owned a Pontiac Buick dealership, but maybe it’s time. 

It depends upon how rich the person is, but you’re probably right. 

No, but my point is that in that situation, you have only enough grip on the ice to brake or steer, not both. That might not make sense if you don’t have a lot of experience driving in winter conditions. 

I hope whoever bought the car treats it right. 

First Gear: Hmmm. The last accident I had, the only accident that I’ve had where my car was actually moving, could have been avoided if I’d had the presence of mind to steer out of the way, rather than brake. I was on ice, so once I started braking, more braking didn’t help. Auto braking takes away the ability to make

I see a Concorde driving on the way to work some mornings. It’s probably the only one left in my town. Intrepids were everywhere at one time, but you’re right, Visions were much more rare. 

I had a 1984 Ford Tempo like that too. 

The gentleman selling the vehicle may in fact be the only Eagle Vision enthusiast out there.”
