“...the plane will hopefully fly into low Earth orbit...”

“uses six 747 jet engines, sits on 26 wheels, can carry 250,000 pounds of fuel and weighs half a million pounds without fuel”

My M8 sounds like that after a few beers and I goad him into making race cars noises for the amusement of my fellow beer swilling patrons.

Jesus. Who let that asshole out of the country?

The working assumption now is that Donald Trumps doesn’t know anything, period.

I agree, this imbalance needs to stop. We need cars designed and built in America, like the Ford Focus, Buick Cascada or the Chevrolet SS.

Challenge accepted.

Seriously, nobody suggested an AW11? Well preserved cherry examples go right around her price range, they’re a riot to drive, and they’ve got that ‘80s wedge shape in spades. Here’s one doing a hillclimb.

Miata fanboi-ism makes me sad. There are other cars! A wide world of cars ready to be hooned and enjoyed.

80's wedge you say?

The answer is, as always, volvo.

Seriously Tom you guys at Jalop should put together forgotten cars of the 70's and 80's respectively. Between the odd balls Datson, Saab, Volvo, Fiat, and Alfa made in the 70's along with the odd ball Shelby Dodge creations in the 80's would make for a good couple piece article.

Cheap? Wedge? Track Car? Unusual?

Zowie! MR2.

Trademark infringement?

Needs more headlights.

Barry Melrose is an odd hill to die on.

Where did this happen? Baseball bats seem unlikely to be especially common in France/Belgium.

Yeah, a close relative of mine considers himself average, blue collar, even though he is an incredibly successful businessman. But he was born to children of poor immigrants, who worked manual labor and went hungry a lot so their kids could eat, etc. Ultimately, his whole family WAS able to American-dream bootstraps…

Never understood why Redbull doesn’t start its own racing series based on future innovation. Screw F1 if it cannot keep up. Call it Formula Ultimate... or FU! for short.
