Olympic Broil and Nip-N-Sip Drive In in Lansing, Michigan are the places my parents took me to when growing up in the 1990s and early 2000s. Both are still there, though by the time I was going to them they were already survivors.

No, CUVs are not at all just wagons with a lifted suspension.

Reading your response got me thinking - an interesting though probably wildly impractical supercharger design could be a reciprocating piston design driven off the crankshaft.

Yes, Raph/Patrick/Jason, what is the Ark of the Covenant/Mobile Imperial Throne looking thing near the wall? I didn’t see it mentioned in the other Lane articles.

Maybe.... Descending a nearly vertical drop and suddenly stopping at the bottom decelerated the vehicle, possibly faster than any normal vehicle would with brakes, combined with the full load in the vertical position already pulling on the door/rain gutter rack mount clamps towards the front of the car, stresses the…

My experience is that nothing kicks up rocks as bad as haul trucks (asphalt trucks, dump trucks, concrete mixer trucks, etc.), and semi trucks/trailers come in right after that. Waaaay down below them is pickup trucks,…

It sounds to me more like you’re describing a Hyundai - any Hyundai - rather than the Prizm.

Tell me about it... repairs and maintenance alone would have paid most of an SE Alltrack with MT by now. And then there’s the two 3 month periods where it was in the shop within the last two years!

If I had known they existed when I bought my current money pit - I mean MT 535xi wagon - two years ago, I would have!

There’s someone in Detroit Region SCCA who rallycrosses a lowered, red turbo’d RAV4! It’s stupid fast.
