I can't believe they aren't conducting further investigation into the allegations against him. He sounds like a really creepy mother fucker.

There will be a recount though, and Russia has time to tweak the results.
Worse still, I but if they somehow managed to call a re-election, the slack republicans would actually vote, and deliver him a landslide.
I would have backed him to lose all the way on this one. Quite shocked.

Yeah, cool cars is indeed genetic... The family car when I was growing up was an NSU Ro80.

Cool isn't how I would describe an Nsu. Unreliable, needlessly complicated, expensive to maintain... actually that sounds a lot like a hipster.

Pretty simple (the engine only has 3 main moving parts, no computers, boring mac strut suspension...), very reliable (250,000 MILES and two engine and many runs to Perth and back) and cheap (most service items were shared with one BMW/Merc or another of that era).

Bought in 1974 and ran as a daily until the early 2000s. Pre hipsters. It was a cool car. Its to be my retirement resto project.

The devils in the details, or the seals and sideports in the case of a wankel.

By the time you restore it, you probably won't be able to afford the excessive oil and fuel consumption.

I serviced a 504 wagon for years and very reliable it was, cheap to service but not cheap for major repairs back then. The owner absolutely loved it and I can still remember that strange interior smell like a VW beetle.

Its an NSU Wankel - peripheral ports ;-) All I know is Dad ran it as a daily for most of my life. The original engine went to about 150,000 miles, the second is still in it. The second motor did have an overhaul in there somewhere as well, but that was a stuck thermostat blew some coolant seals...

It was a country car and Dad was religious about warming it up, so that helped I guess. Its biggest problem was back in the leaded petrol days the lead would build up on the spark electrodes and short them out - the introduction of unleaded fuel was a godsend.

I've had a couple of 504s, they're great. Not terribly quick, but arm chair comfy ride combined with awesome handling. They made about eleventy million of them so parts are dirt cheap - never came across anything that was expensive, but then again I knew the french parts specialists.
