I honestly never knew any passenger car had that available. Trucks sure, but not a car. First for everything I guess.

What really sucks, is I had the timing belt replaced a year prior. Shit happens I guess. The car had 230,000+ miles on it and had been driven pretty hard by the time I got it. Good grief, the timing belt tensioner had frozen in place and had polished the belt to a high gloss! I'd never seen that before.

Good ol' badge engineering. Why spend millions to make a new car, when you can just buy someone else's and slap your name on it.

The three I saw consisted of two Cobalts and a Prius (big surprise there). The Prius had the full Google livery. I think I've seen a Malibu also.

5 plus reverse?

I too, follow the mantra of the Great Goog.

"Oh man, Eric is gonna beat the schmidt out of us!"

"What the hell is wrong with that El Camino?"

But you would be right in forgetting it anyway. *retches*

Those had 6-speeds? Whoa.

An X90? Someone owns one of those critters just a block from me. Looks like someone dropped a Honda del sol onto a Suzuki Samurai frame.

Haha! Now I know what car it is. I see those quite often.

Google Street View car.

Seriously, why can't all sedans be like that?

Toyota Nova? Never heard of it.

Actually, just a week ago! But I had forgotten it existed anyway.

They exist, trust me. SoCal has a few crawling around.

One of the few lessons my dad ever taught me, was this: if the other vehicle has more lug-nuts than yours, stay the fuck out of its way.
