Dr. Garbanzo posted:The local rockabilly festival is on today and as a part of that they do a show and shine where you get to see a bunch of cars that are often pretty rare in Australia. I didn't get many photos but its a bunch of American cars from different periods including what must be a fair chunk of the Cobra's in the state. Oh poo poo I forgot that was on today! I'm working all day. Is it still on tomorrow? If you like beer, come to Leura. No, not the BWS.

I don't believe that it is but there'd probably be some cars floating around. I know that bottle shop only too well although you stopped stocking 6 packs of coopers

And a few people in the cafe racer world have stories of him trying to buy their vintage bikes and then being a huge oval office when people won't sell.

If you spend any time in Beverly Hills or the San Fernando Valley you're bound to see Jay Leno about in something a few times. I've seen him just driving around Beverly Hills in the Blastolene Special, and last time I saw him he was driving through Sherman Oaks in a Citroen SM with a huge suitcase stuffed in the passenger seat. Even when he's doing normal stuff he's driving one or another of his sweet cars, I love it.

This thing. No idea what it was, but it was impeccably clean. Great colour too. Took these around November of last year, and the owner clearly drives it, because we had about half an inch of rain that day. Click for huge.

Ok, unfunny garbage was a bit harsh, but if his show was about anything else, I would find him insufferable instead of just a little too tedious. His PT Cruiser video is unwatchable

I like Doug's videos because I wonder about the same silly things he discusses, mainly loving with CarMax. The Range Rover warranty math was loving great.

I dislike him on the whole, but watch them because 1 in 15 is amazing, and that's a better ratio than TV Crosscabriolet, Hummer CarMax, Rover Warranty, the other Hummer video, and a few others were good videos.

I think if you talk to a random person about "the Mangusta" they'll think of the proper one. Maybe this is covered in the video, but like everyone else, I don't really enjoy watching these.

Are those rear facing seats "illegal" now or just fallen out of favor? Sure, its a bad place to be in a collision but it makes those seats accessible and comfortable. Maybe a little car sick prone.

I don't think they're specifically outlawed, but gently caress trying to get them to pass modern crash regs.

Why would they be worse in a crash necessarily than an otherwise identical but front facing third row?

eighty-four merc posted:Why would they be worse in a crash necessarily than an otherwise identical but front facing third row? because your feet are basically behind the rear bumper, so you don't have as much of a crumple zone if you get rear ended. That's really only a concern if whatever hits you doesn't have a crumple zone of it's own helping out.
