GOING FOR THE LOW HANGING FRUIT

WHEN I CAN AFFORD ONE I’LL INSTALL THE DAMN THING OKAY

Pretty sure that’s a Lambo, dude.

This guy desagrees...

Forget the people who put badges on things, or fake vents, chrome strips. Whatever. Amateurs.

For most FWD cars you see on the street, absolutely.

Anything from Pep Boys, really. But specifically, the stick-on chrome trim. People usually just stick it around their door edges, but I’ve seen it around the hood and wheelwells too.

I’m happy that the trunk on that Porsche has such good lines. It’s appalling when the trunk is cut into the bumper in a weird way.

(Not so) grounded to the ground.

It’s not really fair, because so many of my cars come from junkyards and other near-dead scenarios, but probably the weirdest quirk I had to deal with was on my 1986 BMW 325e.

The ECU on the SC models is programmed to ignore them, all it looks for is that they’re plugged in. I found this out when I popped…

On the Canadian Market 1999-2004 Nissan Xterra, they never installed a bulb in the low fuel light panel on the cluster. No idea why. Every Canadian market Xterra I’ve seen has an open bulb slot for the low fuel light (the bulb is installed on the USDM trucks). I popped a bulb in mine and sure enough, it works. I will…

What have I done?

Not sure what you would call this, but I think it is interesting nonetheless.

I just bought a 2013 Chevy Volt that has a weird quirk with the turn signals that would drive a perfectionist nuts.

On my mom’s Saab, the console-mounted ignition is broken in such a way that you can pull the key out while the car is running.
