Is the other 1/10 a Prius owner? I’m asking for a friend.

I have seen the pre-production model, and also yes

Acetylene headlamps were indeed a thing, that’s what the ‘B’ tank of my OA torch was designed for.

A timing belt on a 1979 Jeep is called a chain. It won’t break. It may stretch slightly but that’s about it.

I spent time in South Carolina, it was about the same. IIRC you smog it when you register and then they pretty much don’t give two craps so long as they get a registration check every year...as opposed to California where you fail your bi-yearly emissions for having the wrong serial number stamped on your catalytic…

Just because you’d like to forget it happened doesn’t make it untrue. This is not only DSM’s cross to bear, there are many others. I didn’t even bring up the crank walk or exploding transmission thing...oh wait.

“Also, don’t live in cali!”

”a synthetic blend oil change”

Ah...the before time, when headlights only came in two flavors, round (*) or rectangular.

German = quality? Clearly we haven’t owned the same German cars.

Um...no. We saved exactly one American car company, GM. Ford was in no danger of bankruptcy and Fiat bought Dodge. It had nothing to do with flags, it had to do with regulatory capture and bogus subprime mortgages.

Have you not been to the Spearmint Rhino in Slough?

Did he get them for zero down?

The Fiat Panda lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t. Not without your help. But you’re not helping.

Thats quite the PITCH (aka resin obtained from conifers)

Nowadays a performance car with a 2L engine gets pretty much the exact same mileage as a performance car with a 6L engine.

So 40mpg is achievable in a roomy car if you use fuel with 30% more energy and violate a bunch of emissions laws? Good to know.

Please get back to us once crazy uncle Elon stops selling $140,000 cars and pumping up stock prices for a living.

Clearly there should be zero news coverage of any Tesla related accidents since they have approximately 0.01% market share due to their hilariously inneficient manufacturing process.
