Really don’t like the style. Might consider purchasing anyway and then never “looking back”.

A lot. The RE-71Rs were certainly responsible for a lot of the improvement you described, especially hookup on acceleration and cornering directness. Up until recently, choosing any other autocross tire almost (almost) assured that you wouldn’t win your class.

Off topic but the thing that strikes me most about this photo is how boring our car color choices are. Look how that Camaro sticks out in that sea of gray/silver/black/white! Even that CX-5 is a grayish blue. At least the Escape, Golf, and Fusion drivers going the opposite direction stuck themselves out there a little…

Here’s that 1 millionth Corvette after it took a swan dive into the earth.

Yea, hopefully the driver doesn’t try to figure out those gradations at speed, and waits until they stop to figure out what that line the needle pointed to meant!

Best of luck with it, Rob!

Good point about the 9-7x and yes, it too is the best Trailblazer! And it was even available with the SS engine eventually, too, as the Aero.

Don’t think of it as the worst Saab. Think of it as the nicest WRX!

Yup, and the other issue for a while was that if you ripped the mp3s from your CD and played two songs like that together, there would be a gap and even time added in between the two. I used to use Audacity to paste the two songs together and fix the gap so they would always play together, even on random.

I saw a truck just this afternoon with that door open on the back. I wondered what it was and theorized the exact answer you found. Flash forward 4 hours and here’s your article.

Haha, well your father/mother had to get here somehow! No one wants to think about their grandmom handling a column-mounted shifter in that way. I’m sure she was gentle with it.

Yea, what do you mean ‘weird’?

You’re right that Bertha is the first one that comes to mind. And also right that Brunhilde is better.

My co-worker called this one Blueberry and it stuck. I sold it to a friend who calls it “The Blueberry”. I argued with him a lot about adding the definite article in front of it but he said he wanted to refer to it as an object, not as if it’s self aware.

That heater could be an ugly one. I had an ‘88 and the heater core failed on me, leaving a delicious maple syrup smell in my car and fogging the windows up in the winter. The heater core is tough to get to, with the dealer disassembling the entire dashboard to get to it. Over $1,000 all-in back in 1994. Good luck with…

I taught my kids to do it. My daughter at 11! An important part of that is to not freak out at all when they stall it or make another mistake. It pains me but I just calmly say, “Ok not a big deal, that’s what happens when you let it out too fast. Try again.” If you show any sign of fear, anxiety, or impatience,…

Replace your 31 year old Jaguar fiber optics with a 27 year old Chrysler version? Yea, can’t hurt to try!

For some reason...in this one shot...in that color...I’m digging that front.

This is an amazing looking car that needs to be understood in the context of the time in which it was released. Take a look at the sedans, both foreign and domestic, that were for sale at this time. In my eye, it still is a beautiful and revolutionary looking design. Compared to today’s tanks, it also has a…

Not without consulting the descendants of Cantabria.
