Looked again - yup, I see it now.  The oblique angle threw off the color of the button and made it look more like seat foam.

I used to drive a Hyundai Excel in hilly East Tennessee. I know exactly how slow that is. I remember how achingly ponderous the otherwise lightweight Excel felt while rolling out.

Just widening the fuselage a bit to provide a bit more hip room wouldn’t be a bad thing.  Two in a Morgan is a chummy ride.

This is going the wrong direction. The new 3W doesn’t need more cylinders. It needs less.

It also means you can spend most of your time relying on the main battery with your hotswaps idling on their charger until you come to a day when you know you need the extra range, and that’s when you drop in the extra 100 pounds of battery. Until that time, that extra weight isn’t holding you back in traffic.…

There appears to be a cut or split in the inside bolster of the front passenger seat. Aside from that the interior does look pretty good.

Call it the Bronco Pony, or Colt, or Pinto. Of those the only one that Ford has preexisting claim to the name is Pinto. The bigger complication, though, is that Suzuki already has had a long relationship with GM.

Chevy Montana:

You ain’t wrong.

No.

Damn, an All-Trac wagon with the manual!  That’s a find.

The crazy thing is, you can do a plywood dash that looks good. It isn’t even that hard. You can mount gauges in that plywood dash in such a way that they look good. It isn’t that hard.  No such effort was taken.

It’s okay to admit you don’t know what you’re talking about.

I’m just waiting for the Torchinsky 3-volume Opus de Volkswagen: Every 1 and Every Thing In Between

I’m considering  a second career as a truck driver.  Commentariat, weigh in: tell me why this is a terrible and/or genius idea.

I want that engine, but I don’t want the bike that goes with it. I want three of them I can bolt together to make a Corvair repower engine to wreak fire and vengeance on Detroit giving up on pancake sixes.

Bleah.

When I was a brand new driver, still with a learner’s permit, the family took a long trip from VA to MN and dad put me in the driver’s seat, saying that a stretch of interstate wouldn’t be too difficult with everybody all going the same direction at more or less the same speed, just settle into the right lane and…

It gets weirder. I’ve been inside. No level floors except in part of the dining area, living area, office, kitchen and next to the toilet. Crazy low ceilings in the guest room (literally scraped my head on it), crazy high ceiling above a sunken conversation pit - you can tell this thing was built in the 60s or 70s -…

PO is not up to the Challenger.
