That's ok. I'd rather have a pickup with CAVALOS!

If video shows up now of any fake Veyron (like the one made out of a Cougar) doing a burnout, I feel Jalopnik is obligated to show it.

I sold mine last week and I knew I'd forgotten something.

Ugh. I can taste that smell from here.

Yep. I thought of the rocket test scene in The Right Stuff, where the catastrophic explosions also had one where just the escape tower blew.

I love how the first one appeared to have confetti in it. Airbag! YAY!

This is like making a Lada cake and telling the kid that it's a DeLorean. www.cakewrecks.com

Good point. Probably, though not 100%. US Matrices were built in Canada, and Vibes were built in California at NUMMI. There might be just enough differences in suppliers and styling of the interior (including switches) that it might not apply. A picture of the bad switches next to a Vibe door panel would probably…

Sell more cars. Or kill it off.

"Sapphire" glass is a surface coating to prevent scratches and doesn't go all the way through or particularly have color. Anyone blaming sapphire glass doesn't know what they're talking about.

Cuprite? Should be Coprolite.

Nope. Imagine one (not sold in US) where the whole car was the "Pistachio" color that the actual body of that car is. Worse.

There's one in town painted that color. The name should be something like "Gloss Primer."

"08U : PRIMARY COLOR, EXTERIOR, MARY KAY PINK" Absolutely is an official color (from the first link I found with an RPO code list). http://www.lesabret-type.com/GMRPOCodes.html

If this were 10 years ago, I'd like to see what that color will fade to.

I hate to end the thread so soon, but the Leyland P76 in "Oh, Fudge" simply cannot be topped. I'm not aware of Volkswagen using the color name "Stuhlgang," so there isn't any possibility for beating it.

There's one for sale less than 5 miles from me right now. If you live in a rural area where contractors deliver the mail, it's not ususual to see RHD vehicles, especially Jeeps.

What did you learn from this test that would lead you to do a similar test differently? What else would you add to the hypothetical "next test?"

Problems, yes, but not the gasket. It's actually the head bolts. Can be forever fixed with Timeserts.

Here's something else named Adam that was a make or break for the company.
