I think about this all the time and we're past the point of time many of these concepts would've happened, so technically the past would've owned, too.

Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

I believe the joke is that the car is for no one since there are no Mormons with one wife.

Same. I don't dig through the racks like I used to. But Kroger frequently has them for 88 cents a pop so I tend to grab a bunch of random ones to have as gifts for my friends kids. I stupidly gave my one buddy's son some Transformers and now Hot Wheels aren't ever good enough anymore.

Lol if you don't understand that Transformers > Hot Wheels to kids. One is a car, the other is both a car AND a motherfucking ROBOT with GUNS

It was an honest mistake! I had it in the box of Ebay stuff and pulled it out and couldn't just take it back after he saw it. Almost all of my groomsmen have kids, I like to have stuff for them when they visit.

Anyone want to see some highlights from the NY auto show I took?

Anyways some random finds:

Sick Chevelle in my area, the old dude who owned it ripped a huge rear end burnout right after this in the middle of the city.

Saw this Austin Mini Metro, which I honestly have never seen or really knew about in the middle of NYC!

Wow, ok. W-suffix plate - assuming "real" - is 1980/1981, which is backed up by the Mini Metro badging and hearing-aid beige.

All together now, Princess Di had one.

Other than an arguable point on packaging/interior space, they're worse in almost every way than the Mini they share mechanicals with. If I were going to get one into the US, it'd be an MG Turbo, just for the "what the actual gently caress" factor, and being better than the Mini because Turbo even though they stuck the MG Metro Turbo engine in the ERA Mini Turbo, which further to this features in the first episode of the You're Under Arrest anime, and oh holy loving poo poo I'm an aging nerd.

If we're posting other weird British stuff in NYC, I saw a Reliant Robin in its natural state; stationary but on all three wheels at the moment.

A couple months ago in Midtown, I saw an Audi Ur-Quattro drive by in full Group B livery complete with rally hood lights. Sadly I failed to take a picture because I was distracted playing Pokemon GO and it was gone by the time I got my camera app fired up. I know I'm an absolute failure.

Surely the natural state of a Reliant Robin is to be on its side, sliding, after attempting to negotiate a corner at >5km/h.

Actually the way you can tell if it's group B is the various cooling improvements :eng101:

Two front lights instead of four: after getting disqualified a couple times for illegal body mods (one time, the hood was bent in a peculiar way that happened to let air into the engine compartment, and was oddly never fixed; another time they replaced the two inner lights with fake lights that swung open to uncover extra air intakes), Audi re-homologated the quattro with just two light clusters, combining low and high beams and allowing a wider grille
The iconic radiator under the rear spoiler wasn't there in the original group 4 version, either
Air intakes on the rear fender flares, one per side for the Audi Quattro A1, two per side for the A2 (easiest way to tell the two variants apart)

... well, at least for the evolution (i.e. race) versions. The road car stayed pretty much the same, except for a facelift on the road version of the A2

I used to buy them for my kid but I never find any real good ones as the more popular/rarer ones (aussie, chevs and Japanese) get snapped up and put on ebay pretty quick -- I'm not the type of guy that goes to the toy section/store every week and dig through the racks. The only decent ones I've found recently is a FD rx7, r33, ford GT, and some BMWs and porsches.
I'm trying to get him into lego instead anyway and rx3s are overrated :v:

Ha, the car was sold maybe 32/33 years ago. She hated it. I can't recall if it was before or after that she had a Mini Clubman estate which she also hated.
