#BOOORRRTTTLES

My ‘09 Impreza hates cold starts in cold weather. The (automatic) transmission shifts like 16 year old learning to drive stick until it warms up.

It’s totally legal to replace the engine in your car on your own, and that is far more difficult and dangerous than a phone battery in both repair and usage.

Gen Xers are now in their 50's and 60's.

Somehow, I inherited some ancient railroad repair equipment.

I didn't see anything saying that there would be pickups. Will there be no pickups?

The ability to round effectively.

Those little cars are a lot more safe when you get more big cars off the road.

So yeah... my car. That my two year old and I drive around in. Someday I will trade it in for a larger, safer slightly newer car, but it will eventually become a bucket, too.

Engine driven fans provide fan more cooling capacity than electric fans, which is why most large trucks and vans use them, whereas most small cars and light duty trucks will use electric fans.

That platform has come a long way from the Pontiac Montana chassis that is still underneath it all.

David, while I doubt that you will make it to Moab, the local postal vehicle repair station is in Royal Oak, at 11 and Washington, not far from you. While this endeavor should be applauded, come home now, and do so safely. This project can wait to be completed.

Car companies have a better handle on what folks will buy than the internet, mostly because y’all don’t buy the cars you claim you will. The less than useful small trucks will sell in moderate numbers. They will not be the trucks of yesteryear.

Have you sat in a Bolt? I can’t even reach the firewall with my feet and still sit in the passenger seat pulled all of the way forward. It's small, but it's not cramped.

I think you’re way off. Volt, Bolt, PHEV CT6, hybrid full size trucks, hybrid Malibu, and then there’s the stuff in China and Europe. I need China, GM makes a hybrid version of almost every vehicle, and some China only models that are hybrid or EV only.

No one stopped these people from hopping in a car and driving to their destination (except for those tax cheats). If I had terrible neighbors (and bless them, I don’t), I’d have no problem requiring them to travel more expensively and less comfortably.

I did this last week after having the same issues on my phone, too. It's been a night to day difference ever since.

Yeah, Subaru, Saab, Volvo, and domestic trucks are all able to do this.

I hope I have a job in the morning.

Did Mark Reuss start working for Toyota?
