I haven’t seen many tweel examples that take severe lateral forces into account. A solid bit of curved rubber would need extra reinforcement

That hard edge to the rubber looks like trouble, though.

Radical.

“Remember everyone, keep your luggage secure.”

And a 2JZ’s a lot easier to build/support.

In the States a Rover V8 would be easier to incorporate.

FCA and Foxconn? That giant tax fiasco in Wisconsin is awfully close to AMC’s old home in Kenosha...

Overcapacity. Too much of the economy is dependent on building vehicles (manufacture, assembly, transport, sales/finance, pensions) in a volume that isn’t needed.

Wow, dude. You forgot the humble-brag cost of living.

Proximity to transit is a large factor for me in Chicago, too. There are a few Subaru specialists but they’re all in the outer limits. For the basics there are at least a dozen independents within a half mile of my place, used to be quite the auto row before the war...

That’s not a surprise since all the development, tooling and supply chains were amortized decades ago. Toss a Kent in the Escape and marvel at the cost, while cringing at the performance/emissions.

The Vigour is cool but if you’re at the party you may as well go Legend-ary.

They’re somewhere between a convenience store and supermarket. Like an Aldi in the US but without so much own-brand stuff.

I saw something similar in Norway a few years ago, but with a somewhat less exciting car.

That’s a lot of work on someone’s part. The last time I went railfanning most of the people I ran into were there for the graffiti more than the trains.

Surprised the Outback made in Indiana isn’t on there. Especially since the Forester is popular.

George III was the obvious “one guy is the problem” target for a simple argument, but it was parliament’s legislation that was the real impetus for the revolution.

I think it’s famous for like one thing:

The first one had a few years of development hell but it did breathe some new life into sport compacts. Particularly all the work you needed to do to get a hand me down Civic to hang with the rich kids whose parents just bought them RX7s, Zs and Supras.

Virtually Absent Peepee Enhancer (would probably have a roof basket and some poorly fitting knobbly tires)
