If they don’t call it the Ford Hippogriff someone in that marketing department needs to lose their job.

It’s not “rich person ad copy.”

That’s just rich-person ad copy which always seems to use overly dramatic, flowery, and emotive language to get their point across.

I’m easy with airports and don’t even mind sitting in one for a while. But myt list for ‘essentials’ - or ‘really really nice to haves’ is this:

I’m sorry driver, I can’t let you merge like that.

rusted and rotting

I vaguely remember something like that as well. Sort of dragon-ish / somewhat alive? Smoke coming out of its ears. I can kinda see it in my mind - but google image search is no help. Not even close.  Old school animation though - like from the 60s or 70s even.

Whose to say that’s a one or the other proposition?

Man, I’ve seen the average driver on the street. They can’t handle a 160 hp Corolla. I think I’m going to have to take issue with the claim that the 911 GT3 RS is approachable by anyone. Or even most people.

When I was really young - like 4 or 5, I recall having just the absolute worst nightmares about the Bagger machines. Don’t recall having ever even seen one in real life at that point. Maybe in a past life I was ground up through the gears of one of those massive bastards, and I was dealing with some weird reincarnated …

I’m going to law-nerd out here for a second. But where I live, yes, for the purposes of land use decisions, land is defined in legislation as including ‘land covered by water’. So at least in British Columbia, that is 100% a valid inclusion.

OK, so, yes. He shouldn’t still be on the road. Yes, he should have known he was being pursued and stopped.  But I can’t fathom how you need ‘20/20 hindsight’ to know that you shouldn’t taser a confused 80 year old. For someone at that age, getting that kind of voltage coursing through your body - and then taking a…

I imagine it’s less the seats in coach, and more the seats for the pilots and navigators. And they sell to people who are trying to go for a certain ‘theme’ in their house. A local shop was selling a seat from an old military trainer jet - so, admittedly really cool. They were asking a lot for it - it had been cleaned…

I recall reading an article in Road and Track many years ago (I think it was the 20th anniversary - or maybe 25th - of the Miata). And they said that the designers Matano and Tanaka benchmarked the Lotus Elan S1 as the car they were emulating. And you can see it - from the flip up headlights, to the overall…

Sure - but it’s a hell of a lot less likely to kill than 5 4000+ vehicles doing 90+ MPH through a crowded city.

Oh yeah. And you know the phrase “innocent until proven guilty” was bandied about by various simpletons who think that the phrase actually means that an accused is ‘free from any consequence” of their actions. If they’re white.  If they’re black, they should have known to comply with an officer’s direction.

haha I think it was a matter of seconds at most - because as soon as I refreshed, I saw your post too.

This conversation has to begin and end with the Austin Healey Bug-Eye Sprite. Not only does it have an inherently cute look - it has a sort of earnestness about it - like a puppy that desperately wants to play with you. I just want to go up and give it a floor pan rub. Or scratch it behind the headlights.

Came here to say this. Worrying out surveillance issues is a huge stretch here. This is simply a good thing if it cuts down on high speed chases.

This would have been better if you got to the end, and both tankers and civilians saw the Volvo and said “tank”.
