oh you mean a actual* MPV

another option that works good, but is also expensive would be a right angle impact wrench. Sometimes the impacting action helps break those rusty bolts loose. Assuming the bolt/nut head can take the torque without stripping

MAPP torch is great when there is room and when there is nothing around to damage.  There’s a lot of areas where there are wiring looms, coolant hoses, etc. that need to be well away from a torch.  That’s where inductive heat is your friend.

On paper they are doing ok. They are holding a lot of debt in comparison to cash on hand. IMO the only reason the balance sheet isn’t scary is because the stock price stays high so they could sell off and cover if they needed.

Stop and go traffic is a pain in the ASS.

I just went through this problem with my mazda.  The brake switch disabled the push button start.  The push button start uses the brake switch as an input (car needs to be in Park or Neutral with brake depressed to start).  Had to wiggle the switch to get it to turn over.  At least with a standard key I would not have…

I don’t think that a can of Brakleen is the best thing to use for a wheel chock.

Really curious how the “pay to put level 2 charging in their homes” is going to work out.  Like does GM have a nationwide contractor they use?  do they pay for material and labor?  I just can’t see GM paying for thousands of people to schedule, install (time and materials), and maintain a Level 2 charger, also…

Those spark plug wires are one wiggle away from a misfire.

That was a common problem on late 80's American cars and trucks. Also a lot of times the Diff, axles, and engines would use standard and everything else would be metric

CR-Z would be sneaky

A new 383 will set you back $5000 on its own.  This is a rebuilt 383 that happens to have a T56 and a car with it.  I say nice price.

Ha go and try a find a base 911.  If you check literally any option it adds 10K

A sad Triumph is a TR8 bursting in flames due to the rover V8

What is this whispy heat you speak of? My dakota is a 1991 with a block based out of 1967 (the LA engine). that 5.2 cast iron block puts out some of the best heat of any car I’ve owned. That blower motor is also pretty sizable. Most of the time I just have the heat to the right and the blower motor on 1 in the winter…

the definition of heel toe is to hit all 3 pedals at once. Modern cars do not cut the throttle when braking that are stick shift.

My first thought is lifted Forester XTI

Most likely due to the ability to run on propane/natural gas. The engines power output on NG will be slightly lower due to the fact they need more compression to run more efficiently.  They might quote power numbers using NG as to not be confusing.  That being said it’s possible on gas the output could be closer to…

yea that SRS code will probably throw some red flags in many states safety inspection.

Who told you the Mini was rear wheel drive?  They’ve always been FWD.
