My 240 (‘90 hatchback) routinely carried me, my mate and all of our diving gear on diving trips. You could squeeze a pack of shit into one of these. It eventually died, but I miss that car to this day :-(

Growing up, we squeezed a family of five into an old Beetle, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Car seats are what’s driving a lot of this. When we had our first kid, we could fit his rear-facing seat into the back of my 240SX, but only by pushing the passenger seat forward (fortunately The Missus isn’t very tall). Once kid

All fair points - I can certainly see the advantage if you don’t otherwise need to lift the car, but for those who have to get under the car anyway (me, for example), I was questioning the advantage. Not having to deal with a sump-worth of oil in the drain pan is a definite plus, but given that I have to remove a full

So, apart from the “not having to raise the car” convenience advantage, is there any other advantage? Does it remove more old oil that a simple drain? Would it still be worth draining the oil this way even if I had to raise the car to get at the filter? Unfortunately, both of my cars have filters underneath, but

“Here’s some empty space, fill it”, She said.....

The Trumps clearly demonstrate that this is not the case

The DBS GT ZaGortons

Gas cars carry 20,000+ volts through the spark plug wires for milliseconds at a time, and only then if the motor is running. There’s no 20,000+ Volts anywhere in a crashed and/or burning car. 

Not in my experience - growing up in Ireland, these were the makes everyone drove. They simply worked, because they had to. Yet, hearing people rag on about, say, Fiat, would have you believe that there were lines of dead Fiats along the sides of every main road, and that simply wasn’t the case. Over the years, my

I suspect that the myth the Haley was “one of the smart ones in the administration” is just that - a myth. She was governor of a small southern state, but as GW amply demonstrated, being a governor of a southern state doesn’t equate with intelligence. As for UN Ambassador - look at the current nominee - climate change

You misread his post - he’s agreeing with you

I suspect that this fact has colored his life and personality. Not saying that all short man are bitter about their shortness or let it poison their lives, but some men don’t handle it well

Hm.....

What a beaut. You’ve touched upon one reason why makes like Peugeot, Renault, Citroen and Fiat got a reputation for unreliability here in the US that they never had anywhere else - lack of after-sales support, in terms of mechanics who know them and parts. The best car in the world would be unreliable under such

Beautiful - and the 505 wagon is even better. 

Indeed - possibly the only car ever with 1 forward gear and 9 reverse gears

I’m not arguing with you as to the morality, or lack thereof, of the Viet Nam war - just not sure I’m ready to demonize the individual soldiers who did the fighting, and that includes McCain. I have no doubt he could have done a GW and pulled a cushy assignment for the duration, but he chose not to do so. Was he right

McCain was commissioned in 1958, before major US involvement in Viet Nam - he wasn’t drafted, but I doubt if he had a choice as to where he was sent

That’s a different issue - separate the sacrifice of the soldiers on the ground from the policies of the government that put them there. McCain served, Trump feigned bone spurs

Or in the case of the Hucks, “blimps will be blimps”
