That’s their new “glossy matte” finish. :P

Well that’s going to fit in nicely at the trailer park in 20 years, don’t even need to paint it, just let the clear fade.

I would say combination of cost and reduced carrying capacity. Plus losing some options for what you can carry.

A bad ground results in no current because grounding is the way current is carried back to the battery. Resistance in the contact causes melting. If there was an electrical problem else-where that caused too much current to flow then the replacement switch would also get hot and Torchinsky would have felt it. If the…

People mentioned the cost and potential rigidity issues, but there’s also that the extra weight of the folding racks would reduce the available payload that can be put on them before exceeding the roof weight rating. It’s also another thing to break. Regular roof racks are expensive enough. Any more and I’d have just…

Whenever it’s vertical, all your stuff falls off? It’s like loading a dump truck in the dump position.

Just for fun, I looked it up on Rockauto, and brake light switch is $10.06 for a 1991 Yugo. I’m sure you can find a coupon code for a discount.

For the brief year that I lived in California this was my license plate:

I wonder if the installation of the extra lights on the front could be related. On my last car, every electrical problem I had was related to the last owners ‘improvements’

The biggest issue these cars have, according to a few folks I’ve talked to about them is that the timing belt had BETTER be changed routinely every 40,000 miles. They had a tendency to snap and when they did, being an interference engine, would wreck the entire engine. So I’d make double sure that if it hasn’t been…

Points if you integrate the plate to the name of your car. Girl at my work drives a Frontier, and her license plate says “Final”.

You won’t be able to measure DC current with the meter pictured. It will only measure AC current. If you want a meter that will measure non-contact DC current you will need something like this: https://www.kleintools.com/catalog/clamp-meters/acdc-digital-clamp-meter-400a-auto-ranging

I think he’s more of an S&M fan, he hearts the strap.

Sorry, but this one wins the internet in this category:

I’m impressed, personalized plates usually indicate lowest common denominator thinking, not creativity.

Yesterday spotted a white Grand Voyager with the plate:

Nothing says “funny” like having to post an entire article dedicated to explaining the joke.

These comments always tickle me pink.

A star for coming up with a secondary comment.

Hue got that right!
