That was what I was thinking too. The innards are not quite the same, but for me a chocolate Pay Day isn’t filling any gap that really exists.

I really like this idea. Thanks!

Shame they didn’t break out pollutant levels for the presence/age/brand of cabin air filters. That would have been actionable information. As it is right now I just follow the manufacturer’s 20-30k rule roughly.

Where is FordTempoFanatic when you need him?

What a fantastic story. I didn’t expect that reading about repairs against the clock could be so riveting.

The China Syndrome is a gem of a picture and I love every second of screentime by Brimley. IMO it’s one of the finest character actor performances of all time.

That is impressive. I’m going to have to consider pool noodles for packaging the next time I need to ship a CRT. They’re always destroyed during shipping these days.

I’m sorry to disagree so stridently, but this is such an impractical, heavy-handed approach to environmentalist goals - tell people that we need to totally restructure the places they live in and remove their ability to move places on their own volition. This has to develop organically and gradually if it is to…

Ah yes, the obscure Winkler rotary engine. I remember that it was known for problems with its Ayyyy-pex seals.

There is no such thing as a mid-2000s Camaro. It went out of production 2002 and came back in 2009.

I wouldn’t say you’re crazy, but it is hard to imagine Maserati coming up with their own supercar from scratch without Ferrari DNA. I watched Top Gear at the time, so the very first thing I learned about the MC12 was that it was mechanically based on the Enzo, had the same engine and virtually the same power and…

The Fit is a fine car and it was really the heir to the legacy of small, down-to-earth, good handling Hondas when the Civic grew up. I really think that if there was ever a Fit Si, I would still be a Honda person.

 14k for a 3-year old Fusion is not such a great deal compared to the covid deals that Ford was doing earlier this year, if not currently. In May, my retired father bought a new Fusion S for $16,000 flat, including destination (not including tax, title, license) - he isn’t some master bargainer, he just threw out a…

I can see why Daniel Stern would have an aversion to light bulbs in general, not specifically LEDs.

This is a thing of beauty.

This is kind of depressing in a weird way, as I hoped to use this list to give me tips where to pick up on this legendary franchise.

No big deal, a 1970s Honda Civic weighs about as much as a solid gold idol anyway.

I saw Independence Day on VHS rental when that came out - I thought it was cool at the time, but I was 8. Watching it more recently, I couldn’t stand it. It’s probably still a good kids movie to this day, however.

No, it was owned by LeBaron James :P

Right, they’re going to pollute exactly as much as other automakers. This frightfully stupid Tesla-isn’t-a-car-company-it’s-a-tech-company line is actually still sticking. I don’t know how Austinites balance this professed love of small-town weirdness and orgasmic pride whenever another big corporation sets up shop…
