Ah, the memories. I bought a ‘98 Type-SH new, a questionable choice at the time for me, financially speaking. But I LOVED that car. I ended up getting rid of it over 10 years and 160k+ miles later (for a used ‘05 G35 coupe), and I DEARLY miss it. Still on the original clutch even after a couple trips to the…

If the issue is getting photos, perhaps fly a drone in there to take them.

1995 Grand Cherokee, about 3 years ago. It was willed to me. The size/looks/utility was awesome. Everything, in fact - except the reliability.

At first, it feels like it’s stuck in concrete - but after a second or two I can move it a millimeter, then an inch, then my whole head - at which point everything is mobile again. It was weird at first, but that was probably 20 years ago; I barely even think…

The car should throw a warning up on the dash (in plain text!) if the ambient light sensor detects that it’s dark outside, and the light switch selector is OFF.

Interesting that the butterflies closed a split second before the explosion (1:22 in the video).
