Hmmmm... It doesn't show up on AutoZone's site. The Fluid Film site says it's "in select AutoZone" outlets. I'll look for it as my AutoZone soon!

Some cars do it that way. My Ford Windstar has a nicely-integrated OEM plug with a spring loaded cover on the front of the van (full disclosure: I didn't know it had a block heater when we bought the van as a 1-year-old fleet vehicle; I found the connection when washing the van). Having seen other approaches, I don't…

I hadn't heard of it, either. Annoying: Not sold near me...

Get a block heater.

Plus keep in mind that the Astro has been out of production for 10 years now. GM didn't do much to update them in the day - so they look really old today.

They probably didn't even notice it...

...and the adorable Crosley fire engine:

Powel Crosley Jr. is often more noted for his radio broadcasting work - but he made some interesting cars, too - like the Hot Shot:

They'll feel perfectly at home with the Pentalobe and Tri-wing.

Let's see... Suppose Apple makes a car.

Though - if all fuel fills were on the same side - we could have rational, marked traffic flow through gas stations. Cars would still be on both the right and left - and each side would now consistently pull in and out in the same direction (i.e., no weaving and an out because two cars are facing each other at the…

My problem with most vehicles like this:

I've now owned at least three vehicles that don't have the gas gauge arrow - and I don't own a MINI.

So... Would insurance total this car? Even presuming the drivetrain is intact, I'm pretty sure that proper repairs of this damage would exceed the value of even an R8.

The semi-tractor portion would have been more fun if the car could actually fit under the truck without the truck being lifted onto a platform...

Good luck finding the correct parts in Japan: Remember, this car is nearly 30 years old now, and only saw limited production in its home market.

Wait a minute: What's up with the "greater technical innovation pillar less hardtop"?

I think I found the Google Maps view of the location seen in the dashcam pics above:

Could be! Again, I'd want to know: Were any electronic components now in the car under water? Wheel bearings? Differential? That said, a flooded car can be a great start for a project.

As always:
