My Fantasy Garage contains:

You’d think all the cars would have that.  It seems such a common sense solution.

Bingo. I live in the mid-south, east Tennessee. When it snows here it doesn’t stay long and it’s usually a not-that-cold, wet snow and then overnight, things get below freezing, boom: ice sheaths. Nothing is easy to do because the door’s frozen shut with ice that formed after water crept around, under the snow…

That’s a different kind of environmental hazard, and a completely valid consideration.  At my house is one thing, parked downtown?  Hmm.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner.

Tightening the nut isn’t the solution for all mounting styles; on my truck that only holds the wiper arm and affects the spring tension not at all.

My 1987 truck’s original springs defy your allegation.  All my family’s vehicles’ original springs defy your allegation.  

“Gearing?” Did this guy even go outside and look at his wiper arms before writing this baloney?

Tesla won’t want to do it though. Teslaheads might like it - more choice - and GM would probably be pretty happy to build them - more sales - but Tesla is going to defend its brand pretty heavily. They’ve been all about the vertically integrated, built-here-and-nowhere-else genetic purity of their products. They won’t…

I briefly had a Plymouth Colt Vista from my grandmother, an interesting little AWD mini-minivan, the interior was absolutely cherry and from the outside the car looked perfect.

In their defense, not all of this one has.  It’s lost a few pounds.

If your blades are missing spots, replace the blades. 

Seeing how:

Carol Burnett’s scream as Animal arrives sounds so sincere.

I didn’t need to read the description to know which way I’d be voting. To be fair, I did read the description because I like cars and Escorts in particular and this one has features that are attractive regardless of how offputting the whole package is.

Absolutely agree.  As facepaint it has potential, as a styling motif it’s dreadful.

Maybe not “that rare,” then again it depends on where you are. Knoxville TN ain’t exactly small, but our nearest Tesla service is about three hours away in Nashville.

I’m pretty enthused about the range and power (potential, I generally just drive like a grandmother) of a 3, but the Bolt is plenty powerful enough and the price is absolutely a big winner compared to the 3.

You know what?

I can paint better than that, and I hate painting. Maybe that’s WHY I can paint better than that.
