Just chisel a new power steering pump out of a block of wood. Like Grandpa used to do.

Sorry people.  Last Domestic-branded wagon. 

I paid $72,000 for my perfectly lovely home in a small college city in the Northeast.

Or whatever BMW is doing with those Peterbilt grills.

Not gonna lie, the drain plug idea is absolutely epic!

I bet with generous use of aluminum foil, a lot of that food could be (somewhat) safely eaten.

I truly appreciate this article. But no amount of scrubbing will make me feel like I’m not eating some amount of oil and/or grease.

This. How has this problem not been addressed? How are we 100 years removed from having gas laps on our vehicles, yet we still cant tell the intent of the driver from the other side of his car?

when it comes to warning and indicator lights, more is better.why not light up that whole edge?

Assuming we live in a perfect world where QC is 100%, then yes.  Before they were widespread adopted into car lamps, I assumed the same thing.  But daily I see LED lamps out on cars, and they look terrible.  At least with a bulb you can pop one out, and one in.  LED components can be costly to replace, if you can

The turn signal problem that needs to be solved is letting people know that you’re turning in a particular direction when they are approaching from the opposite side and can’t see the signal.  

As soon as they bring back the magic carpet ride hydraulics and a single-spoke steering wheel, I’m interested.

Right?! I saw some SUV, an Infiniti I think, where the damn signals were on the rear bumper, damn near at the bottom of the vehicle, and all I could think of was how bad of a design that was 

This is so boring I’m even going to reply to myself to reinforce the outrage. Good day, sir.

Anything to get them higher up. One of the worst modern car design trends is the terrible placement of the rear blinkers like a foot and a half off the ground, making them effectively invisible in any nontrivial amount of traffic.

I was 16 when this turd hit the market, and I H-H-H-HATED them. Just wrong in so many ways, especially when the vastly more cool Gremlin was available for your American Motors fix. Now approaching geezer-hood, I find them quirky and endearing, kind of like a Nissan Juke. Nostalgic and irrational;

I was gonna vote, heart over head, for this being a NP until I read this:

Did you NP’rs not see the rust coming through the bondo under that canary yellow respray? This fishbowl is hiding a lot more of that I promise you, glorious Kenosha pot metal frisky with tinworm. Phuct not phat. 

Not perfect, but if you’ve always wanted one of these, this may be your chance. Also, I am irrationally delighted by the flip-out vent window.

That's a nice price for somebody, not me by any stretch, but somebody.  This thing is weird enough and close to being a time capsule.  It also needs the right kind of owner who laughs in the face of danger to actually drive it.  A light blue paint job and a tiny flame job would triple the price.
