Just today Reuters showed how flawed that thinking is. They noted that they have no official access to the Iranian government, yet are still able to report on Iran.

Well please hurry up, as Mrs A says she is tired of popping out welfare babies, and we could sure use the cash.

Le Sigh. Mostly it’s property taxes that pay for roads, followed by gas taxes. I’m sure Teh Googles probably has a breakdown of the percentages somewhere.

You seriously need to provide some proof that “most of these protests are fianced by George Soros”.

They were also available as aftermarket add-ons, usually in pairs, one on each side.

My ‘93 Z32 300ZX has the same system. Lap & shoulder belts attached to door & door pillar. The side windows are frameless too, so there’s a vestigial B-pillar stub on the door just to hold the shoulder belt.

A reliable source tells me that the duckies on the old Cadillac shield are Marbled Murrelets, a seabird that lives near the Pacific coast. They disappeared from the shield when the Catera was launched, presumably as a metaphor for Caddy giving birth to a new car line. Then the Catera croaked, and the Murrelets never…

Made me remember this story about Seattle’s Chrysler Hemi-powered Cold War Air Raid Siren.

That is true, but antique and custom / retro vehicles often have had those chrome shades over their headlights (and in the case of Harley and Indian motorcycles, the front spotlights and turn signals).

Now I’m curious- why was an industrial Beetle engine a bad idea? For a simple and inexpensive stationary powerplant it seems ideal.

Now I want to know the US side of the story. Were the brits required to inform US defense forces of the drill? Did any US anti-missile defenses detect the missile? Did we even know at all?

Catch boatload of fish.
Drive boatload of fish directly to local organic hippy market, sell fish.
Profit!

Kids, this is how the rubber-band effect gets you. Notice the cars in front are keeping together and driving at the same pace. Assuming the lead car knows the road and knows enough to set a decent pace things won’t go sideways.

Edit: The link below about AA Flight 191 details the incident I was thinking about.

There were a few shear-pin (also known as fuse pin) failures on DC-10's a long time ago. If I recall correctly the proper maintenance procedures for removing & rehanging the engines was not followed. Due to a lack of the proper tooling the service crew used a forklift to hold the engine in place, which put undue…

I had a 77 GM full-size car with nearly the same switch. It had interval wipers, so there was a long, skinny knob to the right of the slide lever for setting the delay interval.

A guy in my ‘hood has a collector-plate Chevette. It appears to be in pretty good condition too.  

I’ll grudgingly admit you and some of the commenters have really delved into the history of GM and the Vega. My family owned two when I was growing up, and they were, indeed, a total shit of a car.

What’s my prize for having owned a Sonett III, a Nissan Pulsar Sportbak, and a Fiero?

The same dude did record it at night. If you click the YouTube icon at the lower right side, you are taken to his channel (or whatever the kids are calling it these days) and you can see Part Number the First, where he filmed it at night. Or during an eclipse, same thing.
