Turn signals. The manual stalk needs to be replaced with a psychic apparatus of some sort. Maybe then they'll see some #%&$ing use.

Please show him curb it... please show him curb it... please show him curb it... DAMMIT!
Ugh.
For two years. Volvo didn't care for the quality, and, by 1963, had pulled production back to Sweden. That's when it went from being the P1800 to the 1800S. That's why the first ones are called "Jensen Volvos." You don't get 3 million miles out of a car from a company unconcerned with quality.
It totally looks like a little Murano. And not in a good way.
My 1983 Mazda 626LX had oscillating vents. Just sayin'.
I didn't know they made body kits for the Corolla.
I don't know how useful it was, but it was cool as hell... I had an '83 Mazda 626 LX (paid all of $500 for it) that had a surprise feature. It was called ICS, or Integrated Chime System. Every warning chime (seatbelt, door open, etc.) was a separate little melody. The tunes were awesome. My wife and I called it our…
Strangely, the most respect (or only respect) I ever had for a Ford Aspire was when I saw one converted to an EV. It was a beautiful job. The hatch area was all battery, the car was small and light, and the front-wheel drive layout made it a wonderful conversion. Oh, and it was utterly dirt cheap. So, I think the…

It really kind of was. Southern Pacific and GM worked together on the design for the rail cars and the Vega. The cars were designed to be shipped nose down while full of fluids.
Have you seen how Vegas were delivered NEW?!
I read this headline aloud to my wife. She just shook her head and went "I do it all the time..." You could literally HEAR the eyeroll in her voice. It's a special talent she has.
My old Jeep truck was perfect; easy, ready access directly to the road for being ill. Until I welded new floors into it, anyhow. :D
Some guy that tangled with my father ended up waving a rifle in the air inside the car. I don't remember the whole incident, but it was the '80s, he was driving a horrible mid-late '70s Monte Carlo, and it was pretty scary stuff for a kid. Entirely possible it was dad's fault, of course. Not a great driver.
My jimmies. They are rustled.
