If by very, very few you mean exactly one, and it rhymes with “Schmiper”, then you’re correct.

Based on the number of Bosch TPSs, starters, DME’s, alternators, plug wires, and O2 sensors I’ve been through over the years, I don’t know how I feel about them developing and investing in anything I will have to see, touch, or be in the vicinity of.
There are some things in life only a father can teach a young man. In my case, it was the importance of owning a truck. At a special moment in history, a 1985 Toyota 1 Ton, complete with 5 speed manual and oxidized red paint to be exact.
Hard for buyers to talk up the Alfa driving experience, when most of that experience is to/from the dealership for repairs under warranty.
Better yet, eliminate fan boost entirely and replace it with the Mario Kart system. Slinging around turtle shells and bananas is about the only thing that would make me want to watch Formula E, which in its present state, is basically (sometimes) televised white noise.
Nothing says “unique” in a color combo like “give my your finest diarrhea.”
Two words for this girl: marriage potential.
There are deals to be had with more than $4200 off of MSRP on a NEW vehicle, never mind on the one with “upgrades” like worse-than-OEM wheels, holes drilled in the back, bumper damage, shoddy turbo kits, and what should probably be a salvage title.
Gas stations didn’t appear out of nowhere, but the logistics of putting them in the middle of nowhere is much simpler. Dig hole, install tank, install pumps is a walk in the park compared to creating a network of baby substations across the country. Consequently, initial growth will be much slower, and initial costs…
This. I have, on multiple occasions in my subdivision alone, witnessed someone come to a crawl and pull up directly next to the curb on the right hand side of the road, as though they are parking in front of their house, only to then swing left into a driveway, cutting across both lanes.
Both of those cars have roll BARS, not roll CAGES.
The owners die before the car hits 200K.
It’s pretty rare that I don’t even have to make it past the cover photo for a fair NPOCP evaluation, but this? You could have posted that Hitler used this thing to steal the remains of Enzo Ferrari, and I still wouldn’t slow down for a crack pipe declaration.
Also came to post a Bricklin. Fella in the Charlotte, NC area has one parked on his front lawn which I thought was in a state of disrepair, until it moved on his property. I suppose it must not be as obscure as we thought, given the number of people here who came to say the same.
That’s just the way it is.
One of the whole points of rev matching is so that it DOESN’T unsettle the car. If you don’t blip while downshifting, you’re likely to get massive engine braking or break traction to the rear wheels. Problem is exacerbated when you have a gear box that is not close ratio.
It’s like Cars meets Human Centipede. Congratulations, Mr. Torchinsky. You’ve won this round of the internet, courtesy of your artistic prowess.
For that much money, I would expect t-bolt hose clamps and better brake line routing while they’re at it.
