I used to not need AC, but now it’s a necessity with the oppressive humidity we can get.

Lived Boston north shore most of my life and, for shitty winters, Boston is much better than Detroit, which is better than Chicago.

Yeah, I’m fairly left of center and really sympathize with people who are struggling, think the rich should pay a fair share, etc., but these are almost certainly just filthy junkies. They’re tossing shit people actually need and that DOES have resale value, just not to whatever scumbag fence they’re bringing this…

Why “RA” if there’s no record attempt? Caspita might be more fitting.

Especially with the typical Nissan dealer, though I just got my GR86 with no markup, so Mythbusters might call no ADM “plausible”.

It’s possibly like that for visibility for traffic lights and such.

And it was true to the look of the original when the useless bumper was removed, usually for racing (though the thing weighed so little, it wouldn’t make much difference).

Was thinking the same. Needs to be narrower or something. Even if it’s only certain angles, a narrower opening would fix it from all angles.

Minus Demuro with POS like Range Rovers, the warranty is for them to make more money. For every jackpot winner, there’s 100 x the amount that gamblers have lost to the house. A lot of times, too, the warranties are written up to either overlap existing OEM coverage or they find a way to weasel out of it.

Yeah, it’s nuts with any work getting done. I just had to buy a new car (I am very lucky to be able to do so!) because nobody would do an engine swap on my ST. One place would, but I would be bottom priority, which I knew meant months at LEAST.

I love old sports cars, especially weirdos, but I never liked MGB roadsters and I am all too familiar with the insidious nature of rot. The solution here is to get a better one of these or a new bodyshell from the UK (and put a better drivetrain and steering in it), but is one of these ubiquitous meh-lookers really…

They still sell these—137,090 last year per the article. They’re not a C-HR competitor so much as a smaller CRV. The C-HR compromises utility for someone’s idea of funky styling and is ‘80s-economy-car-challenging slow. The HRV is about quick enough to not be dangerous and has no style. Or had. Now it’s apparently…

About damn time.

Probably not too applicable, but I bought a first year 2012 Focus SE with a manual and it was Corolla reliable and drove like it was almost new when it got totaled with 200k+ mi., so they can (could?) get it right.

I think US taps are usually spaced about 4.5", but there are different sizes and I’m no expert. And, yes, picking out that crap is tedious, but kitchens and bathrooms are big draws for house value here. Kitchens I can see since those cooking shows made everyone think they’re a gourmet and need the appliances and…

That was the only term I never heard, either!

He’s referring to “choke” as the venturi housing wherein the choke resides. I would say the US term of “barrel” is more accurate in that it is referring to the housing as a whole versus one (less important) part of it. What would be called a twin-choke carb in the UK is a 2-barrel in the US.

Antiroll bars are called…

At least in the US, the variety of styles available for sinks is so immense that I would be shocked if a decent match for any imaginable decor wasn’t available. Of course, price is also quite variable. Plus, the water gets mixed in the faucet, which can be a separate unit of varying preferred size likely available in…

Just in time for the Z to pummel it.

In MA and maybe other states, you can elect to transfer your previous car’s plates to the new one and you have 10 or maybe it’s 14 days to register the new vehicle to those plates. In the interim, you can definitely get 550 miles in there.
