Ben, can you get us a picture of the self-contained crane that you use to lower that spare tire?

Hey, they are still building engines! Tyledyne Continental produces aircraft and tank engines.

@CahbonFiabah: But could you have a relationship based on trust with her?

Quick! Grab the Cimmaron specific parts - what there are about 7? - for $20 and you'll have a real future collectable: a Cavalier conversion kit!

@stephdumas: Or worse worse, the '86 Seville Coupe

Mercury? The should call it "Quits".

Next set of tires for my Syncro Vanagon, P-Zeros, no question about it.

My mom's old '84 Corolla came with a factory emergency kill switch. It wasn't even optional - every Toyota of that era had one.

@dominic.sacco: Actually, the formal name is "VW Clown Car Edition".

Great item Murilee. Thanks, and good move to take 'em down to the historical society. #photography

@Maxichamp: The ad is just a hint of the horrors ahead: the car just had a tune up, which apparently includes replacing both fuel pumps! #bookreviews

@SpellingNazi: Yes, I think it was 1996, just before a model changeover. Typical add some spark marketing; some people collect 'em. #qotd
