  The Aston Martin Lagonda is widely considered a mechanical and electrical disaster, earning a notorious spot on lists of the worst cars ever made despite its stunning design.   Underneath the dramatic wedge body sat a carbureted 5.3-liter V8 engine paired with a 3-speed Chrysler automatic transmission. It weighed heavily, took nearly nine seconds to reach 60 mph, and delivered dismal single-digit fuel economy.

  I own Vector M12 chassis 011 (Orange) . The WX3 went so cheap! I wish I was there.

  Watching from the UK gents and loving learning about the car cultures over the water because we had a very different approach over here back in the day.

  The sole 1999 Vector SRV8 prototype failed to sell at auction on August 15, 2026, reaching a high bid of $275,000 which fell short of its pre-sale estimate of $350,000 to $450,000

  I am absolutely smitten by the Citroën M35! 🥰<br>Is Alan an old school &quot;Mini-Trucker&quot; ? That&apos;s what popped in my head when he mentioned the M35 &quot;laying frame&quot;. I rode for many miles in my friend&apos;s bagged, body-dropped, &amp; fully shaved Tacoma. There a lots of fun stories attached to that truck.

  Man Richard Hammond blowing his front tire on that jet car run he did was wild, and I don&apos;t think they were going over 300.

  The choice of the 911 emergency number wasn&apos;t so <b>humans</b> wouldn&apos;t accidentally dial it - it&apos;s to make it less likely that a janky phone line with a loose connection or some water ingress or whatever would accidentally dial it. The Brits landed on 999 for the same reason. The 9 requires a lot of pulses close together in time, which is very unlikely to occur naturally.
