There’s going to be a Highlander-style battle between Chewbacca and C3P0 for the longest living Star Wars Character.

Yes, but if you bought the Quattroporte...

Considering this is the loss leading Maserati perhaps the tech was a teenager at Jiffy Lube who learned a valuable lesson.

As Hicks in Aliens would say, that’s an express elevator to hell, going down.

You know it.

Needed to be Cybertruck 2077.

Monoblocks on a big SUV?

I’d be happier with an i30N rather than another Clio V6. Back when I was working in Dublin around 2000 that Clio was the dream car of the office, though I was already drifting in the Impreza Turbo camp (and when I got back to the US I had to settle for an RS).

That was only to get around rules for developing the C4 in public. Kronos was swelled with Citroen staff for the Xsara’s last year.

I think VSC also built the Crosstreks that Subaru of Canada was using before the team shut down.

Plenty of good stories from the 70s through the 90s, though I’m operating from an English speaking point of view:

Add in bumper/headlight/collision standards and it’s a deal!

Airbags are still targeted assuming the seat belt will guide your momentum.  That way the side airbag doesn’t blow your arm off.

Don’t most poles use a breakaway design?

Would hotrodders want a direct drive rear subframe like that or something that actually replaces the engine but retains the transmission and suspension? It limits battery space but also works with the car’s design a little better. All you really need is an efficient battery and something to limit torque so you don’t…

For me that died in 1999 when I tried to buy a Civic Si and hit my head on the sunroof. Then the dealer swore it had ABS (freeze frame/record scratch - “It didn’t”). I wasn’t going to spend over $20k for an Integra, either.

Off, that’s really cool. Can you fit the front turn signal on it, too?

But they ain’t No Omega, either.

“Here I am. Brain the size of planet and I’m driving a speeder around some primitive world with the most depressingly stupid beings in the galaxy.”

That’s actually kind of true. There were scenes cut out where he goes to town and has local friends and everything. It was probably a little too close to American Graffiti, though, and would have made Luke’s decision to pack up and leave a bit harder to appreciate.
