Almost all our customers cars with keyfobs instead of a proper key, you can’t lock the doors from the interior power lock switches. It still senses the keyfob and it’s a measure to prevent the keyfob from being locked in the vehicle.

But in all fairness you don’t *need* to buy every single item in your tool collection from the tool trucks. Just saying. I’ve been in the repair industry for a few years now. The guys that have Craftsmen, US General, Waterloo, etc boxes and Craftsmen/similar for their hand tools do just as well, possibly better as the…

That and other regular maintenance items. Like General Motors vehicles requiring DEXOS oil. A lot of modern vehicles call for 0w20 only(semi syn or full syn) , some new cars specifically call for full synthetic(ahem Subaru ) only. People have a shit fit when their oil change costs more than twice as much as their…

Just empty every pocket

Have a Forester. Can confirm. Several various generations in our family too. Driven a few of them, no visibility issues.

I’ve heard similar from a lot of old time gearheads. Don’t think about stuff like that when there is plenty of them running around to be had and messed with.

I’ve ridden in an LS swapped 69 Z28. Acquaintance of my dad owned it. The story goes that the numbers matching 302 threw a wrist pin and destroyed the block. Since that was the original engine, he decided to swap it.

…And now I can’t unsee cock n’balls when I see the wheels…

And still all the soccer mom stigma!

I want another Integra, very badly. As far as Honda goes, …I’ve had an EF Civic hatch (built LS/Vtec), a DA Integra (also a built LS/vtec), a DC Integra (slow B18B1 but still fun), an EF CRX Si (B18a+b16 LSD trans) and an EH CRX (stock basically).

(Neutral: Is Fiat Chrysler Smart To Kill Off The Cheaper Caravan?

Unfortunately many of us Jalops represent a minority as far as market demand. And whizbang technology and gadgets sell cars.

Or just get the base radio and put an aftermarket head unit in that has more functionality for a lower cost?

Plus when you upgrade via the aftermarket, you have more options. For example: How many brands make aftermarket head units? Same thing for stuff like window tint, I can customize it how I want if I get the vehicle without it

Neutral: the consumer ends up being screwed with less choices. I have a vacuum cleaner and an extension cord. I’ve vacuumed our minivan out tons of times just fine with it. <$100 on Amazon and I can add DVD players to anything with a cigarette lighter outlet. My 10 year old minivan has Bluetooth, aux input,…

Eh, pretty sure we would have heard and it that if it happened.

It ain’t going anywhere, lol.
