Farted continuously in rental Camry all the way from Montreal to NYC.

Yours is different then. My 2002 Yukon rear wiper controls are a separate knob on the console.

Well, since David Tracy would need to have his brain inside the car... those feet would just be his dead body.

Huh, didn’t know they offered the SS trim on the 81 Vette.

The 2012 Mitsubishi Galant. Which is still on sale as a new car, with a starting price higher than a 2014 Mazda 6.
