Yeah, and шкала is used for map distance scales

That’s definitely an E under his thumb as it’s the same letter in Latin and Cyrillic. The Cyrillic L looks like Л

Torch, as an owner of an air cooled Volkswagen, you of all people shouldn’t be baffled by intense brand loyalty.

The 944 is also outside the last 20 years window as 1991 was the last year of production...

I’ll take my 5 passenger F150 screw... It’s engine makes way more power than the venerable 454SS in the picture, is more comfortable, handles better and is quite a bit faster... And I can carry my wife and kids and haul a bunch of crap

VWs didn’t have this, but their water reservoir was “powered” by air pressure from the spare tire.

Best comment Kristen: that’s a mouth fart!

I remember seeing an interview with one of the head engineers talking about how they shaved costs designing the Nano. Even down to things like thinking about how many moving parts the door latch mechanisms use (which is 6) to shave pennies and using 3 lugs instead of 4 (hearkening back to the Citroen DS). The amount…

And why would we believe anything only reported in The Daily Mail? I’ll believe it’s not getting renewed until Amazon announces as such... Besides, it’s pulled in some of the highest ratings of any Amazon original

So, since I live in Alaska I should have no probs throwing on a windshield, defeating the governor, registering and driving on the road...

Sign me up for the Stewart&Stevenson M1078 LMTV...those trucks are amazing. Also available on the govt surplus auction website, and unlike the HMMWV, it’s actually street-legal without modification.

I think Subaru needs to put the 3.6 liter H6 in the Ascent. That wheezy little 2.4 is not going to motivate this large bulk very quickly. That’s a great engine in the WRX and Forester XT, but not in this application

I love that it’s partied next to an NSU Ro80...squee

Funny thing is, Lancia had a common head, narrow-angle V4 in the Fulvia that was known for its robustness and reliability as far back as the 60s

If this had the rare, optional 5.5 liter V8, then it might be worth around $10K... But the 2.4 is the same engine that powered the GAZ-21. The 24 was no less advanced than American cars of the same period and actually fairly well built.

And the average horse actually makes around 4 hp... Go figure

Torch is right... Austrian Siegfried Marcus had a real car (with 4 wheels and actual steering wheel) being produced nearly a decade before Benz. The oldest example of his car is an 1888 model which currently resides in Vienna’s Technical Museum, but he had been building what we would identify as a car as far back as…

He didn’t mention Polaris... They still manufacture the Slingshot (their only car) and it’s 50-state legal

So I must admit, I’ve got a soft spot for the Horizon/Omni twins. My late grandmother had an ‘88 Horizon she bought new, metallic dark grey with light grey interior. From when she bought it to when my dad sold it as she could no longer drive (at 95) in about 2007, that car had zero problems...ever. When sold, it had…

FJ30 interior is oh so right
