My boss bought a car the other day. It's a blast to ride in and makes a ridiculously nice noise.

falz posted:I was going to suggest this is because of 'Get Shorty' but I think that was a different van. The van in Get Shorty was a Pontiac Trans-Sport I believe. Always thought they looked pretty cool for a van, but the Previa is hands down my favorite minivan. I wish they weren't all rusted to hell or run into the ground where I live, I want a supercharged 5 speed minivan dammit!

I think Sidney, BC is where AI goes to retire. The town is overflowing with wealthy people in their 60s/70s and if you go out for even 10 minutes you're sure to see some kick-rear end automotive poo poo saw this Citroen DS last night  and this NOT-BROKEN 850i this morning

88h88 posted:The thing that annoys me about that article is the dude in the comments saying that configuration is becoming popular in the bicycle world. Mainly because it's really not. I work on a university campus which has 25,000 students and maybe 7500 bikes. How many of those are 2 wheeled at the front? One. I ride through the city daily and I've only ever seen that single monstrosity tootling about the place. We've got countless hipsters on fixies but only one of those piles of crap. If you don't know anything about recumbents, don't run your mouth, thanks

Man, I've never seen a Citroen DS in Canada. I bet I could import one under the 15-25 rule too. Wonder what they cost..? edit: A lot. But also: Wowza.

There's exactly ONE Citroen DS in my town, but drat is it an awesome one. Automobile magazine did a story on it. The only picture I have of it in the wild is really lovely though.

Standard recumbents are far more common but they're still a real rarity to see.

He's saying that in order to drive the overhead cams, you have to reach to the top gears. In order to do that without huge gears that have lots of angular inertia, a series of smaller gears is used. Thus they are all necessary.

Speaking of 2CVs... I think this was posted in the old thread once before, but worth reposting. Best image to have ever surfaced from France.

Also, there is a guy around here who daily drives his 850. I don't know how many days it is, but I saw him in it daily for a few weeks while he was working at a building near my house.

My dad might be friends with the guy - I'll confirm this weekend. I'm not sure if the Bricklin is his, too, but the Lotus has likely been to a 'slalom' (autocross) or two.

At a QA conference this past week in Anaheim so I shouldn't have been too surprised to see this. But 2 of them, when according to wiki only 1500 have made it to the US.

I'd totally rock a 2CV around OKC.
