I have a 2010 Challenger with a 6 speed, and it’s to the right and up/away from you, which works fine for me. AFAIK, they electronically lock it out while going forward, so never had an issue with finding it in place of 6th.

I saw some seriously crappy looking Nittos on a Carrera S here in the States. Saw them lots of times, as the car belonged to some moron at my office with a reserved spot.

From 1911-1978, they called them “Pacemakers”. Do you think that might have been an indicator?

Love your writing, I am a fellow Chump/Lemon/Wahtever. Can I please leave the gray????????

You need to go drive an MR2. I race in a first gen in chump and chump-like series. Loads of fun, and a car with character.

I definitely thought Grand Am when I looked at the photo, based mainly on the tail lights. And your finding of one with Red Reflectors below seems to reinforce that thought. I mean, how many cars even had those lower reflectors like that?

Yeah, the issue with the regulators is labor. I had a really long commute and the BMW was our daily, so I got in the habit of just having the shop do the work. And some of that stuff like window regulators or code diagnosis, I would never want to do. I did the last couple rounds of front brakes, but had the shop take…

YAY, I’m out of the gray! Thanks!

All of those, for sure. Cooling including the heater valve and both thermostats, one of which is very expensive for the labor.

I own a 2013 Optima SX, daily driver with 77k on the clock. The factory all season tires are........awful. I upgraded to 8 inch wide wheels and 245/40/18 Potenza S04's, and it handles like a dream, the steering feel is totally acceptable. This car replaced an E46 that we drove from 8k miles to 200k. Yes, the BMW was a…
