For Italian cars, make sure to use only extra-virgin motor oil, which is not generally given a mileage rating, because by the time the filter needs to be changed, all the oil has already leaked out anyway.

This is impressive, for sure.

Paul Rosche’s Meisterwerk!

This or he thought of a cheeky little white lie to boost confidence in his work, which is now backfiring.

Um... I took public transit almost exclusively for a year. I ordered most things rather than go to the store and carpooled to the train. If I had to use the car, my husband tended to drive since he enjoys it (and we were usually going out to dinner).

Have been driving in LA with a rental car that doesn’t have the autonomous features that my own car has. Almost crashed ten times and ran over five people in two days! Humans aren’t designed to drive cars!

Those who can’t do, teach!

Sounds like Mr. Kazemi can’t drive.

Counterpoint. Cars are property and people can do whatever they want with them.

Luckily I already have a small mid-engine sports car......maybe not as nice as a “Baby NSX” - but she’s MY baby. :)

The should be soul, not sole, BTW.

Is that even possible with today’s crash standards?

Exactly. The New Beetle was an absolute atrocity and the proposed Bus concepts are even worse. I don’t know why its so hard for VW to understand what US buyers really want from them, vehicles that have modern performance but look like the iconic originals, not grotesque cartoon caricatures of them.

I think its because the retro version was missing the “sole” of what made the original car so endearing, it was just a curvy body shape, but people didn’t buy the original Beetle because it was curvy, they bought it for everything else it was - cheap, rugged, reliable, and the fact that it didn’t change much year to…

Yeah, Ford trucks are known for being super unreliable... Pretty sure that’s how they got to be the best selling vehicle in America.

quebec in general and montreal in specific can be super touchy about their language laws, so he probably got lit up for not immediately following up with “toute le monde danse, maintenant!”

Companies with tech prowess like Tesla Inc., Uber Technologies Inc. or Alphabet Inc.’s Waymo would lead the autonomous road race.

but I wanted lauda engines

I like this train of thought.
