In spirit, sure, but Vibe/Matrix were not anywhere as visually identical as the NV/ CityExpress.

That’s actually usually how it’s organized, especially at their technical centers.

I can read what the ticket says, and I’m not discounting that, but GM lots - like most at other Detroit 3 OEMs - are typically broken into “GM” and “competitive” lots.

Drive an American car that isn’t a GM brand, and park it in a “GM lot?” That’s a paddlin’. 

I did *really* want to try parking a NV200 next to a City…

I think some late-model Buick LeSabres/ Pontiac Bonnevilles had their battery in the same spot (under passenger side rear seat cushion).

This state is awash in Timmys franchises.

Makes me feel better about the trick I used to use when visiting my now-wife at her school for the weekend - which was to take a picture of the permit sticker in her CR-V’s window, Photoshop the defroster grid lines out, change the number slightly, and print a copy to tape inside my window.

I dunno; it’s four steps, no special tools (apart from some weight on the wheel) required, etc.

Far easier than the “look how easy it was for hackers to take control of a car” stories we’ve seen.

...man, I used to really enjoy these sorts of rescue stories, but seeing the vehicle’s condition get worse and worse - and seeing what happens to “your” property back home - I’m starting to actually fear for your state of mind and safety.

“Automakers, wake the fuck up. Copy this feature from these old Y30 generation Nissan Cedrics and Glorious shamelessly,”

I mean, they could, but given beltlines have grown increasingly stratospheric over the past decade (isn’t the average what, 5' now? - /s), would it be anywhere as useful?

nah; not dry enough

...if you ever find yourself in metro Detroit, this place is pretty legit:

One of my favorite Fords of that era, and one of my favorite cars in that game. If that truly was your handiwork, thank you.

Thanks.

I think what was missed (or what I’m perhaps missing in your answer) is I’m asking what the load floor is like with ONLY the third row folded. I’ve seen plenty of videos and photos showing how the second row folds and then the 3rd row has that nifty gap-filling panel, but that doesn’t really seem to apply if…

Honest question here: I’m flirting with the idea of a TC, but curious what the cargo area looks like with the 3rd row folded but 2nd row up - i.e. how I’d likely use the van 98% of the time. I’ve heard the resulting load floor in this configuration is...strange, at best, at least compared to when you fold both rows.…

Had to double-check when Prince’s show was, but you remain correct.

I thought these were stupid, but **$80** a pair? Wasteful, too.

Ironic, given how Alpine’s rebirth originally was based on a partnership with Caterham...

this and Gizmos & Gadgets were my JAM as a kid

God forbid people have different tastes and see fit to modify their own cars accordingly.
