A certain kind of flea market people. My immediate family's participation in the annual extended family garage sale have waned in recent years due to the growing exasperation with people who haggle over the dumbest stuff and/or try stealing stuff, less hassle to donate thing instead.

The lights, the entire interior, the entire roof assembly are Volvo C70 AFAIK

I’m kinda ‘eh’ on the exhaust, it’s eerie how quiet they are with the factory exhaust on the outside, and part of its charm IMO.

For every one sensible thing (i.e. removing the Confederate battle flag from over the SC State House) there's a thousand people who feel the need to pick up the controversy and run with it (this stupid thing, removing Confederate flags from US Civil War cemeteries/memorials and National Battlefields, etc...) There are…

My understanding is that many of the deaths they are paying out on the switch may not have been the cause of the accident and/or death but likely made a bad accident worse with the failure of airbags and the like.

The locks are mechanical, but the latch is operated by buttons inside and out. That said, the emergency release levers on the few I’ve been in are all black and not immediately obvious what purpose they serve if one had poor eyesight, since the label can eb hard to see.

There’s still the Tool and Die Plant between 2nd and Kearsley, that’s where they make nearly all the stamping tooling for US plants. That said, GM operations in Flint were closing up long before the ‘98 strike, and long after for a myriad of reasons.

Somebody on reddit made up a story? Color me shocked.

Power armor is pre-war military technology. The BoS is descended from remnants of the U.S. Army.

The *flying* USS Constitution made me happy.

I couldn't agree more. Some of my earliest memories about cars are from riding in the back of a black-on-white '70-½ SS my dad had as a DD in the early 90s.

I’m not right wing, so I don’t know what you’re referencing there. I’m excited for the future, and am hoping that Telsa will force the established automakers to innovate and develop more electric vehicles. Ideas like the hyperloop is the kind of thinking we need to advance. My point is Elon Musk is human, and while I…

I don't hate Tesla or Musk, but I do dislike the cult of personality that hypes him and his coming up as the second coming of Christ or something.

I know several middle-aged guys who hate the idea of turbo fours in anything outside of hatchbacks.

That, and it's clichéd as hell, though no offense to people who still want to travel it. There are better roads in my opinion, this is just the most widely-known one.

The first true coast-to-coast highway, and the best.

They're. Different. Cars. One is a ground-hugging two-seat sports car, the other is a bigger four-seat muscle car. The Camaro is a mass-market muscle car while the Corvette is a halo sport car that costs twice as much and thus can justify more engineering tricks. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards don't dictate…

They did build several hulls and turrets; the books 'Panzerwrecks' volumes 9 and 12 have photos taken just after the surrender at one of the plants they were building these things.

Except it didn't see combat, discouting rumors. Still a bad idea though.

In theory switching fuels from gas to diesel would gain fuel efficiency without trading off torque needed to move the big cars that were popular back then; it wasn't really about eliminating petroleum use (as there wasn't any viable alternatives in the short term) but making better use of what they had.
