I agree with you, but you forgot to mention the ‘77 was just repairing the mess left by the 5 MPH bumper ugly stick. Remember the original 2nd gen Firebirds and Camaros?

My issue with that design was how the reverse lights look like they were supposed to be tailpipes, but got switched out at the 11th hour to comply with regulations (needing reverse lights?).

The only way I could see them getting around this is by using the Vertical as a “Park” position of sorts. With the wipers on interval/automatic, they’d stop at horizontal and go up when triggered. When turned off, or not activated after a set interval, they’d go back up to the “Home” vertical position.

Do full service restaurants shove food into your mouth so it spills down your shirt after you say you’re full?

You say that like it was something new.

FWIW, you have to take the airbag out anyway to get to the steering wheel anchor bolt and the electrical connectors. It would have made less sense to charge extra and include an airbag which would have to be removed anyway. 

And this is why we still need sedans.

At this point, most of those price increases are meaningless. Hybrids are sold out for the year, and there’s still a backlog of non hybrid orders that will last nearly until the 2023 model year anyway.

Of my 4 “First” cars, I probably have the most attachment to the worst one of the bunch.

You’re evil. Please edit this post before a Manufacturer rep sees it and implements it.

That’s exactly what he did, and that’s how he ended up w a Focus instead, lol.

This is the same thing that happened during can for clunkers. I saw a friend trying to use his 97 Villager for the $3500 credit toward a $9,995 Hyundai Accent. By the time the purchase and sale came around, that Accent would have been over $20 grand. When I called out his salesman, he told me that if he didn't want to…

Not a cop here, but even without tracking, how many police need to be involved in any given pursuit? It seems to me, the more players that get involved, the more chances for tragedy. I see 1 maybe 2 officers in pursuit and others up the road communicating by radio w strips. Do 10 officers in pursuit really make much…

This is a Tesla article. Leave your SAAB stories out of this!

As much as I agree w your statement, The Plaid edition was supposed to be built for track days. If people were complaining about the brakes on the standard S, that’d be one thing, but the whole point of this version was to build the fastest sedan they could. If they didn’t upgrade the brakes as much as they upgraded…

Not for nothing, you should have told us the alternator crapped out, just to save face.

Is it bad that all I can do is wonder why they used the Windows 95 frame instead of the Windows 3.1?

I almost scrolled down and clicked no dice without even reading the article. Then I remembered that my first car(Truck) was an ‘87 S10 Blazer with the garbage 2.8 and a transmission that lasted 2 weeks after I bought it. I paid $2,500 to buy it off the friend whom I berated for buying it for that same amount 6 months…

If you go over 100 years ago, we didn’t replace dogs with robots, we replaced horses with robots. Horses were a means to an end, and we found a better means in the automobile. All the equine purists decried the loss of horse as sacrilege, but horses never went away completely, they just became a niche. That's the same…

I can’t believe nobody mentioned Saturday Night Fever. For a movie that was remembered as little more than an album long music video, that shit is incredibly dark.
