It buys a crapload of oil! The leak is just enough to drip on the floor one or two drops each night. It usually needs topped off right about when it's due for an oil change. In other words, not much oil leaked. The real problem is that it gets on some hot parts and stinks and is also down in the holes for the spark…

I would boo you but I remembered my wife’s car has a small oil leak somewhere on top of the engine and I can’t ascertain the origin. The subaru dealership told me the fix is to pull the engine and replace every seal to the tune of a few grand. Even they aren’t sure where it’s coming from.

That’s actually a wing on the Mini, not a spoiler. Wings create negative lift (Downforce), Spoilers kill lift due to body shape (Also improving downforce). Either way, the one on the Mini is a joke at best.

I checked NP but it’s really about $1,000 too high. That car is begging for a engine swap since it’s not especially rare or special that changing the engine would destroy a classic or anything.

Oh man, I want one of those now! There are some decent hills in some parks around here where I could put one of those to use.

They’re about to have nuclear weapons which makes them a threat to everyone.

Most NEW cars have warranties that pay for all those repairs so it’s unlikely that you’ll see someone doing actual repairs that they have to pay for parts for on a car that is under warranty.

As long as it had some decent performance to back up that look, I’d drive the hell out of that thing.

Chevrolet Suburban.

My train of thought.

I already knew this. I learned it watching "COPS". Every person that gets pulled over while carrying drugs and concealed weapons is driving a "borrowed" car. Obviously anyone wanting to borrow my car is planning to buy drugs and illegally carry a concealed weapon.

Manual Choke? That's so evil it's awesome. The downside is any car with that "feature" is gonna need daily repairs, more than likely, give its age.

That's awesome. Those choppers are super neat to see flying low.

I’m reading that as manual or power. Driving something with a fixed column and a fixed seat is torture.

The opposite is fun too. For a time, I daily drove a former construction superintendent's truck that I got for super cheap from the construction company I worked for (PM at the time). It looked like what a broke guy would drive but I liked it because it had working A/C unlike my Jeep. I kinda think the dealers were…

Hey now! Moller’s prototypes are way more advanced and functional than the above vehicle.

I bet it's Janet.

What about dual-zone climate control? Is it acceptable to adjust your side? I’m ok with my passengers adjusting the vents and temperature on their side to their liking.
