Brother! I too had a ‘92 Nissan Stanza, alas with the slushbox, as my first car. Great motor, roomy interior, low beltline with a big airy greenhouse. Loved that car. Only downsides were the stupid seatbelt-on-a-track and a series of fouled fuel injectors.

I’ve never wanted anything more than I currently want that Nissan Civilian Camper. In that color. Exactly that car, in fact.

As a statistical geneticist, estimating heritability of 66% for an abstract collection of complex human traits would be ridiculously high. Something can be familial without being genetic, which is what Alanis is saying here.

How do 2-stroke cars work? Do you have to add oil when you fill up the gas tank?

Is this a good horse?

There’s one in the dealer’s window in Watertown, MA as well.

Counterpoint: Eww.

Simply the best.

At first I thought you were being petty, but damn if that fence isn’t actually made out of dildos. Excelsior, good sir.

It’s a pretty clear handball when you watch it in slow motion. Should have been a straight red *smdh

What kind of car is that? It’s the lights of a Sunbeam Tiger and the hoodline of an Alfa Romeo Spider. Maybe there’s a better explanation...

Sure, sure. And Tom Ley doesn’t know which bears are actually “good”.

Either way, incredible action and it’s always amazing to see a…

I find that having to go to work over the weekend helps to make them feel extremely long.

It’s hard for me to give it a fair shake because the car it is named after happens to be an extremely beautiful and timeless design. But I recognize that design tastes and cues have come a long way since then. So it looks nice, but I don’t really see the 8-series history in it.

The track goes away on the outside line. I think the circuit design is silly at that spot, but Piquet would have had to basically stop on the inside line to let Vergne go past him. And Vergne knew that and still made the decision to brake deep and try to stick the outside line anyway. Significant overlap or not, it…

I love how Vergne throws up his hands at the end. “Dude, I was very slightly ahead of you in a disadvantageous track position, you totally should have left the inside line to concede your position to me!”

60% of the time, you’ll smell like smoke coming from behind the dashboard.

I initially thought “Bantam Draft” was one of the kids’ names.
