So I guess we're talking politics now.
As one of the handful of "yanks" on the forum, I'll see myself out now since it seems that hedged opinions that aren't pronounced as if they're Eucl ... |

A car youtuber released a video yesterday where he went to something like 12 differen ... |

Oddly enough, my old H1 that was t-boned and flipped over back in 2021, is for sale in ... Germany! right now. Looks like they did a great job restoring it.
