Every time I’m part of a jump start, I say out loud to the other participant, “Red on positive”. I do nothing with my end until I’ve seen their connections first. Then I make mine.

I had a ‘66 Dodge D-100 with a slant six and three speed column shifter. If cockroaches will be the only life form surviving a nuclear apocalypse, they will be driving slant six-powered Chrysler products to get around.

I think the cyclecars of old have parallels to the electric scooters of today. Single occupant/rider going a moderate distance for cheap -ish. But, when the cyclecar was introduced, the definition of a ‘real’ car didn’t exist. We’re judging it by the standards of all that came afterwards.

It’s Monday. I read the headline and wondered, “How much corn comes with the new Hilux.”
