Not B5 A4s and S4s. They don't have chip keys or immobilizers.

Neutral: What's Your Favorite Example Of Currency Impacting Cars?

The Avenger is the one car I refuse at the rental lots after having a couple of them.

Nope, same crap.

The way you do this is by seizing the driver's license of the offender.

It's a 1998, so this would have the M112 V6, and not the earlier M104 I6. Last year of the M104 was 1996 (First year W210 sold in the US).

See, you couldn't use that for fixing a car. It would make a lot of things much more difficult if not impossible.

There are simply not enough hours in the day for me to spend wrenching on my car.

I do my own work on my vehicles except one, and I'll only do work that I am capable of doing with the tools on hand (i.e. why I wasn't the one to rebuild the rear axle on my truck)

It's the closest the world has ever come to a stellar and lightweight front-wheel-drive sports coupe.

Anything can "fly" when given 5 motors with 1.522 million pounds of thrust each (7.61 million pounds of thrust in total)

I've low sided a motorcycle before and had a similar experience sliding on pavement. However, it wasn't on the interstate, so it's not as amazing as the video here.

I drive a 20 year old pickup. The most modern thing on it is the radio I had to replace because the old one (with a tape deck) stopped working (output amps were shot). And the only reason I got that was because it had Bluetooth, and could stream Pandora off my phone.

Should you feel similar it's now time to think about the price, as well as for you to get your vote on. The seller is asking $2,200 for this Sterling - or about 1,428 in Pound Sterling. What's your take on this rare example of a minor British invasion and its $2,200 price? Does that price get from you a Bob's your

In 1968, Volkswagen released one of the most interesting manual/automatic hybrids ever made, the Autostick. It had an vacuum controlled clutch that would disengage automatically whenever you touched the gearstick. The clutch controlled a 3 speed auto with an additional low range to get you moving, and a torque

The last time I've dealt with unsynchronized gears, I double clutched up and down.

I have considered selling my F-150 and flat trailer and buying an old International 4300 Rollback to tow the race car around. Some of them even have better prices, as you note, than the Ford/GM/Mopar trucks.

Almost.

Can we toss the entire FMVSS/CMVSS and adopt the UNECE regulations? In one fell swoop, we solve idiotic red blinking turn lights, bumper regulations, decrease cost to develop cars (Only need RHD and LHD models, instead of North American Region, LHD Rest of World, and RHD), AND get rid of those damn import restrictions.

Anything that requires a laptop to pull diagnostics (that is, Ze Germans) works in exactly this way. You get code X, replace part A, and so on.
