Was anything special done to make them road legal, or just the usual proper lights and signals?

According to the Guardian the figure is £150 million and 300 million viewers. So yes, they would be flushing a huge amount of money down the tubes.

I wish I had a picture, but this fall I was passed by a girl driving a red Cobalt 4 door. She pulled in front of me and then I noticed her exhaust. It was hanging by one hanger somewhere mid-chassis. The catalytic converter and what remained of the part that had been attached to the manifold was sticking outside the…

Is there a camera that can be easily mounted on the back of the rearview mirror and hardwired? I've wanted a dashcam, but I'm not enthused about the size and the way most of them mount.

The biggest problem with the Mini was the electronic throttle that is completely unresponsive off the line, otherwise I haven't minded the CVT (until it breaks). I like that it doesn't just let the car coast down hills. The faux manual is sort of a joke, but I've used it to do 2nd gear starts in the snow and to engine…

I had to return the custom mats for our first gen MINI because they fit so poorly that they wouldn't lay flat and had 3" gaps around the dead pedal and throttle pedal box.

You mean my college roomates Del Sol?

Saturn S-series and Mini does too.

My buddy had two of them just a couple of years ago. One for his DD and the other to use for an interior swap. Two years later and the better one surpassed the parts car for amount of structure rusted out.

They rusted out. My buddy had one and a parts car. By the end you couldn't make one good car out of the two.

I was behind a Dodge Intrepid today and was thinking about how long it has been since I've seen a LH, let alone one with all it's paint and panel gaps like it left the factory with. They were pretty great sedans for the time.

Take it to Chehalis, WA. That bike was more advanced in its field than the 911 was.

Porsche NA sent my uncle this poster. Still have it and the mailing tube.

7.) Saturn SC

Blaupunkt was putting AUX inputs on their aftermarket tape decks at the time too. The factory CD headunit in my Saturn was a $750 option at the time, a good Eclipse unit was $500 and a tape deck with AUX was about $100. Everyone I knew in the early '90s had Discmans. I had one that I hooked up to my dad's old Pioneer…

It seems completely gimmicky. I prefer the giant sliding glass roof of the previous Targa. More opening, simpler mechanism, no stupid brushed metal roll hoop. Great for someone who can't justify a true convertible, no stashing roof panels or removable hardtops.

She returned after she was followed by another cyclist. This just makes it all sound the more calculated: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/…

My 5'-2" tall wife can't reach the pedals without being dangerously close to the airbag on almost any car. I've never understood why there was never a requirement to have adjustable pedals or telescopic steering wheel to make it easier to sit a safe distance from the airbag.

Growing up in the Eighties led me to believe that was due to GM's planned obsolescence policies where random expensive parts started failing between 75,000-100,000 miles.

By that rationale I should get ticketed for not running a front plate in jurisdictions that require them.
