Agreed but make that a drive through instead of 5 sec and it’ll have a lot more clout. I’d even penalise for getting any wheels off the black stuff at all, but there you go.

Nah, makes me think of the mk1 Golf GTi before the pug.

Lets hope Vettel crashes out and Hamilton wins so we can wrap it all up and forget this year’s shitshow.

Awww pooor Tesla!!!!! they didn’t give you 10/10 for your new car?

and when the throttle is opened it turns to twat-twat-twat-twat

This just in - Cheaper and easier to hail taxis mean more people take those taxis instead of public transport.

When I can pick up 30 miles of electric at the nearest filling/charging station and carry it to my flat EV I’ll think about it.

Daamn where can I get one of those for the rest of the ‘net!

If it has no method of manual steering then no problem - if it has, well tough - no mind altering substances for you.

I think you misunderstand me. Taking your example, if the best price the dealer can do for the car is $30k then I just want them to say so - not try for $35k first and then offer a “discount” if I baulk at the $35k. If $30k is too much for me I’ll walk, and they can sell the car to someone who is happy to pay 30k. I…

Bring it on. Stuff that “I’ll have to tak to my manager” crap. Either you know the best price and should be offering it up front and sticking to it or you’re a jerk.

So get the system fixed - or are you suggesting that Americans are so either dishonest or incompetent that they can’t actually operate a vehicle inspection system?

Having once owned one of the 1750 sport allegros, I can state it was a load more fun than any classic beetle.

You have to wonder what happened to lead up to this. It seems highly unlikely the county suddenly applied for a court order of such severity without there having been previous attempts to clear the cars away.

Jerk jerks around, gets pulled, jerks off about it.

More like fuck Tesla for screwing the people who had to pay the extra for full functionality

But you can buy gas in advance and keep it in the back of the car. You can’t buy a few extra 30 mile cans of electricity yet.

Agreed; the basic functionality of the vehicle should be unrestricted.

The problem with spark knock is that it is like hitting the piston with a hammer. How exactly is this different?

Many years ago I read that the system should be used like a normal manual shift - press clutch, change gear, lift clutch. There was apparently a switch that prevented the gear trying to change if the clutch wasn’t pressed down and the little lever was moved, so it looked like a preselector change and behaved like one…
