I see them on a daily basis, but my commute routes me within spitting distance of the Milford Proving Grounds, so that’s different.

It’s still strange, though...

...god dammit; now CAR STYLING prices are going to spike...

“The Defender’s windshield wipers look pretty standard–until you pull the squirt/wipe lever and see cleaning fluid spray out from nozzles on the wipers themselves”

That’s actually a pretty common design, too - “wet arm” design, so to speak.
Oddly enough, my ‘80s Isuzu has this, front and rear...

I uploaded a photo. Blame Kinja.

But since you searched for a Ray Charles photo instead of the car...

Oh, cool; someone rebooted the ‘91 Ford Contour...

Same. Between the Grumpy Cat “brow” and the checkerboard fog lamps, not a whole lot I dig in the front clip.

I’m honestly okay with the second-gen design. In fact, I almost prefer it, especially with the later GTL’s weird cladding. 

From the source article:

“The 16C Galibier (concept) was also relatively well received by the public and the press. And yet, Bugatti’s higher-ups instructed Anscheidt and his team to make several far-reaching visual modifications to the car after interpreting the feedback gathered at customer clinics held around the…

Dude, you **TOTALLY** need to pick up an R4 Plein Air.

“I can’t find any coherence in it.”

Welcome to the wonderful world of Zagato. 

The Stradair may be the coolest Berliet product built - kinda hoping one makes it into the film.

“ Autocar DC cement mixer”

...AUTOCAR? Mais non, my friend. I get it; no one cares about trucks, but that very much appears to be a Berliet, which would be far more fitting for the venue.

You REALLY should look into the zany stuff that firm was putting out in the late ‘50s through their buy-out by Renault in the late…

Simple: inop Previa S/C.

Happy to see AWD, especially in concert with Stow N Go.
Less happy about the face...

True. With Trooper and Rodeo, there was a secondary sales/ service network that does still exist, so you have an even better chance of finding what you need.

I nearly made the same joke.

On average, it’s taken about 2-3 months for things to get here. Seeing as it’s not a DD and I’m slowly wrenching on it, I’m okay with that pace.

Knew it was likely too good to be true. Bastards.

Generally speaking, it’s not too bad for these - far better than trying to find parts for an Isuzu model sold in smaller quantities, like my Impulse. There are a number of (former) dealers who actively sell parts - but since they sell parts, not stock them, you will have to wait a bit for OE stuff to ship from Japan.

SWB RWD RS or GT, preferably.

If I were you, I’d be wondering the same thing no matter *who* touches my car. It’s not like they’re having experienced, senior-level techs perform maintenance, especially when it’s not on the customer’s dime.
