“Dunder Mifflin Chevrolet, may I help you?”

Yes, as an owner of a 2020 CR-V Hybrid, who is proudly a 12 year old man of 50, this brought me joy. I had to show my kids when I bought it, and of course they thought I was making it up. When I went to get my plates, the lady at the counter had a Beavis & Butthead moment: “heh heh, your VIN says ‘fart’”. There is a…

I see a whole lot of blaming her for resorting to this and none on the fact that black women aren’t allowed to have natural hair and this poor woman had to resort to something else because she was terrified of how her place of employment would treat her for having “unprofessional” looking natural hair.

Meh, call me when the angry eyes are a factory option.

Tt seems the Jawas take broken pieces of droids and stitch them into something resembling a working robot.

Relatively cheap, reliable, and pretty fun to drive.

First of all, how a 18 years old ends up restoring a malaise era crap mobile such a 1980's Cutlass Supreme, a car with zero known qualities and appeal.

The sad thing is that your minivan probably came with wiper blades designed to take just the rubber refills. My 97 Expedition used refills like this:

This is how I used to change my wiper blades, then one time when I needed change them again I went to the auto parts store but couldn’t find just the rubber strip they only sold the whole wiper arm.

Yeah, but, you have to drive a Bolt then...

I think if you read on you’d find this additional drawing

The simplest answer is usually the correct one.

Saturn doesn’t actually have any brand equity to resurrect.

Heres the flipside. I have an F350 crew cab. I find it easier to maneur into a spot in reverse than by pulling in as most lots dont have the space required for me to make the swing. 2nd and most crucial, i look for spots in the rear of the lot that have grass behind the. Point being, the overhang on the rear is more…

I would add, educate family and friends on how to be in your car. As a younger millennial, most of my friends have never been in a car of the same vintage as my truck.

At the turn of the 20th century, EV’s were more popular that internal combustion cars. ICE  took over only after GM invented the electric starter. 

ALSO! small history lesson. Battery cars actually blew up before the ICE powered ones did. in the early days they were more reliable and sold more. but batteries had their limits (much like today,) so the tech was passed on for gas power that had much more long term progress. 

difference in demands based on civilian needs versus military. what the people want changes with the wind, the Military is usually a variation of “higher, faster, further.” There are exceptions to this of course, and technological dead ends. but those dead ends still provided useful data to build on later.

Much less…

Interesting question. I would say that the difference between a Model T and a 1948 Ford Super Deluxe was a pretty big jump. Maybe car development slowed down because they were simply pretty much good enough. Aircraft were not good enough. Also, their role in the military, and working toward air supremacy, is a really…

Driveshaft brakes I’ve seen, but never inboard drums. This must’ve been a long time ago.
