I don’t miss a lot about old cars but man do I miss flip windows.

Old Toyotas certainly were. My ‘87 pickup was so tight you couldn’t shut the doors unless a window was open a crack. Last vehicle I owned with flip windows too.

Starred for 3 pedals. And yeah I think FCA interiors aren’t as bad as most think.

We’re Jalopnik, isn’t that us?

Mods?

Looks like it’s in the normal range to me. Any other symptoms?

A while back we had a customer with an overheating jeep liberty. She told us her stepdad had changed the thermostat so that couldn’t be it. Mmm hmm. Turns out he used so much RTV a big chunk dislodged and got stuck in the water pump impeller, breaking it (plastic) and causing the water pump to fail.

Hardly the worst looking American car of the era. I liked the Olds version better. Would like to see a modern equivalent from a domestic manufacturer, and by that I mean a small, light 2+2.

Counterpoint: Gold Wings are two wheeled Buicks.

Discard spec on rear rotors is .315. Mike yours and see where you are.

Still no viable alternative though. No one seems interested in the Silent Eagle, or more advanced variants of the F-16, and we all know it’ll take an invasion from the Klingons to restart F-22 production. We’re in this for the long haul and taking a lot of our allies with us.

Two sets of rear pads but no fronts? Or rotors? Rear rotors are pretty thin right out of the box, I can’t believe you could turn a 100k plus mile rear rotor, or that the front pads are original.

Better entertainment too.

It’s-a me, the ISP bill!

First off, I promise you I’m not trolling, I really want to know; how is it that FCA turns out these same kinds of specs at 1/3 the price? Is it brakes? Suspension? Wheres that extra 130k go?

Good lord that’s pretty.

To move these they were offering what I believe to be the first 0% interest loans ever. One of my fraternity brothers bought a red base 2 door, manual, vinyl, no AC. He was paying like $80 a month or something for that thing and we all still made fun of him for overpaying. Of course these were the days when Accords…

The queen has spoken.

Also late but: It’s 1987. My fiancé and I are in a Uhaul driving to Beaufort SC to get some furniture her aunt and uncle are giving us. Now Uhauls now are decently nice, but this was a mid 70s Ford F350, bench seat, manual transmission, AM radio, and no air.

The danger here is in someone on our side overreacting and giving them the incident they’re seeking. Then they can spin it into being our fault and unfortunately a lot of supposedly patriotic Americans will believe them.
