Most of the time if it’s NOT a truck, it’s a friggin Honda Pilot... But I drive a Prius so EVERYONE rides my ass no matter how fast I’m going >.< 

Minor nit, I-90's terminus is with I-5 in Seattle, and while it’s near the Puget Sound, it’s about a hundred or so miles to the coast :-P 

Why on Earth did someone swap a Saab Sonnett engine into a fucking Camry??? 

I thought NASCAR = Non Athletic Sport Centered Around Rednecks? 

Some of those are old enough to legally import, too... Given the plethora of Chrysler minivans with dead transmissions around, would be interesting to import a container of front clips and fuel tanks and do some converting! 

Someone did this on the 205 bridge that spans the Columbia between Oregon and Washington... Got halfway across before a cop flagged them down 

Funny you mentioned the Baja, the original prototype ST-x (Subaru Truck Experimental) had a dual range transfer case, and the entire back wall folded down like the Avalanche. GM, with a 20% stake in Fuji Heavy Industries at the time, was worried about it eating into Avalanche sales, and more or less would not let them…

Right, and aside from the difficulty of getting the damn thing apart, I would think building a replacement board wouldn’t be terrible. Given GM built more than a few of these cars, and given what a set of taillights costs, I’d be willing to bet people would be willing to spend a more than a few hundred dollars getting…

Kinda reminds me of the R-Sport gauges that were optional on the Volvo 240 series... 

Friend’s mom had a 95 that had the 5 speed, was the last year one could get it with the manual, with the new body style in 96 the manual was dropped :-( 

I don’t know where you’re getting that the signals to the lights are anything goofy. I see a ground, plus a power feed for the running light, plus the brake and turn signal. If they were just logic signals, there would be a B+ (constant power) in addition to the ground, plus a signal for each function. This would…

It’s probably one of those “It didn’t come from the factory, it was changed after the sale” type of loopholes, or it’s just something that’s not enforced like the LED brodozer/Jeep Minivan/Rice Rocket aftermarket lights

I wanted to do something similar, except combine a Leaf drive motor with an MR2 subframe in the rear of a 90s Corolla, with a 2ZZ-GE out of a Celica GT-S along with the six speed manual up front :-P 

I had a 90 Legacy, 91 Legacy Turbo, a 92 SVX, and a 99 Corolla with factory CD players, and all of them would steadfastly refuse to play anything but a clean and relatively unscratched factory pressed CD. Even the newer CD-Rs with an almost-silver bottom (versus the dark green common in days of yore) would cause it to…

I used to have a Subaru with a leaky heater core. Until I could afford to fix it I bypassed the core, and heated the car with a Coleman liquid fueled catalytic heater, and one of those 12V plug in window defoggers :-P 

The main issue with this, aside from balljoints that liked to snap, is the ATX three speed transaxle is a giant steaming pile of crap that likes to shit the bed at 60-80k and they are known for being rather difficult to rebuild. Add to this the difficulty of finding an AWD transaxle when this one craps out, unless…

I used to have a white 87 GL wagon as well, although mine was the 4WD turbo variant. Upgraded the boring pushbutton 4WD 5 speed to a 5 speed dual range out of an 86 RX, along with 5 lug suspension from an XT6, and a set of Delta 260 street cams from Delta Camshaft for good measure... Cranked the boost up as well. It…

I think it’s just because towing something back on a flatbed doesn’t exactly make for interesting reading. 

Now if they’d only do something about the brodozers, Jeep minivans,semis,  and rice rockets with eBay HID/LED kits...

Is that the Facebook equivalent of ending every sentence with “Gnomesayin”?
