> building on top of something

If you want that, try AoC 2019. Day 2, day 5, and then every odd day till the end: day 7, 9, 11, ... 23.

> By the way, there are EV tyres - does anyone know why? Is it just marketing or do they have some special properties?

They have lower rolling resistance, in attempt to extract a bit larger range.

If you want to go back to the "original Opera", that is now Vivaldi.

> semi truck on my way back from Dalamatia to Istria

I can guess that was under Velebit, where bura is often very strong and at those times the road is closed for motorcycles, campers, double-deckers and vehicles with trailers.

But people regularly ignore those restrictions because they are not aware of the danger.

> If Rimac makes a car with that name

There already exists Volkswagen Bora, which was a sedan version of Golf 4. (Basically, a renamed Jetta; just like Vento in the generation before)

> Bora is strong wind

Fun fact: Jugo (another frequent wind on Adriatic coast) is even stronger wind, but what makes bora/bura special are strong sudden gusts.

> Honda Fita

Stretching a bit to fit a narrative?

There was never Honda Fita. In USA, that's Honda Fit, and in Europe the same car is called Honda Jazz.

Mazda Miata (MX-5) had it in the NB model (until 2005) too.
