Yeah, I was expecting to see this here. Those red bits on the wings? Rear lights. Oh, but that's not the worst part: http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/la-motor-show-2012/la-motor-show-smart-forjeremyquote:While currently only a one-off, Mercedes is hoping to put the Smart Forjeremy into limited-run production early next year.

Racing a pair of Beemers down the M1 at three o'clock in the morning at just shy of a ton-and-a-half? What could possibly go wrong? Oh. quote:A 25-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after two men were killed in a crash on the M1 in Hertfordshire.

Blacknose posted:There was discussion similar to this in a local subaru group recently. Concensus was first gen Impreza WRX/Turbo prices are just bottoming out at like 2 or 3 grand for a rough one. Suspect they're gonna be a bit more expensive than that in a few decades. Dadcar chat. Cortina Mk3 (very would) Escort Mk1(  )Escort Mk3 (would) Orion (...maybe?) Escort Saloon Mk6 (hell no) Looked like this one but without a spoiler:  The car so bad that when Ford launched it, this was the response it got -

STR posted:Though our fleet company pays extra to delete the jack and spare tire. Found out why a bit later - someone had a car fire and went "Oh, I know - I can fix this myself!" and it didn't end well. I wonder if your fleet company had someone get hit when changing a tyre?

(then dings us for turning them in without them....) Looking at Ford's website, it looks like you can pay extra for them to keep the radio out of them (you get a single DIN opening instead), but you can't get a CD player at all.
