I don't think I was ever skilled or patient enough to see the ending. I do recall that I was able to hook up for refueling with some regularity.

Goddamn, dude! I am laughing out loud because I had nearly forgotten all those hours of frustration as a child.

Bravo, good sir. Your well reasoned argument has made my day.

How does the length work out in there? Does it require cutting into the fiberglass? Stock gearbox?

You are correct, I should have clarified I meant that there were no problems with the cars accelerating on their own.

There never was an actual problem with the car, only massive media attention from people perpetuating the myth. The facts didn't matter and it nearly killed them off here.

I think we hate the Smart for the right reasons here. The IQ has many features that are way above the Smart. The third seat makes it marginally more useful for the real world and it doesn't have the awful automated manual that everyone has despised since the beginning.

I think the reason this isn't quintessentially '90s for me is because the cars aged so well. There's no cheesy styling trend or graphics that look out of place now.

I had completely forgotten about these things. I used to want them as well, legality be damned.

Backup cameras are mostly good, but people become fixated on that little screen that only points rearward. This means you can miss a lot of things approaching from the sides that you'd see if you physically turned around. They should be used to check that the immediate rear is clear and then the driver should turn…

People who need blind-spot monitoring are usually people who routinely have their side mirrors adjusted improperly. Most people I ride with seem to do this.

I owned a bone stock '00 in silver. The car looked great, but the understeer was frustrating. This was made worse by the all seasons that kept it chugging along in bad weather of course.

I saw this at the Greenwood car show and it was probably my favorite thing there (that wasn't my own).

Mine (Aug. 81) has only in the last few years received much of the attention it should have had. I just got it back from the second major shop visit at DMC Northwest and Toby has been unbelievably helpful. There are two issues that will likely not be resolved until I find myself making lots more money. First, the…

That's a pretty impressive release for a new car in an era of questionable reliability. The myth of the DeLorean's unreliability unfortunately only gets worse with the age related failures. Mine may have had a lot of things break, but not because it was poorly assembled. There are a few inferior parts used in the…

You are right, the DMC plant really shouldn't be on this list. People let the ultimate failure of the company overshadow how advanced the plant was and how quickly it was operational considering the era and location.

Great stuff, thank you.

That is a good point, the transition could be quite dramatic at times. I'm sure it had to be solid enough to not throw them off the kink near the end of the Mulsanne straight or the drivers wouldn't have felt safe in the car. I know active aero has been used in the past at LeMans, I wonder what the event was that…

I was wondering the same thing. This sounds like a brilliant way to help mitigate the tradeoff of drag for necessary downforce. Is there some safety issue I'm missing here?

This poorly photoshopped lady in the picture tells me all I need to know.
