“Shut up Elon” would work on any vehicle. It would be perfect on an EV from another manufacturer.

Well, except one vehicle - I’d put one on my diesel truck but then I’d look like an even-worse-than-Elon MAGA Bro and I’d have to pair it with some “Truck Nuts”.

The MT sticker is an anti-theft device. Hopefully it will stop a would be thief from breaking in and then discovering that it has a manual.

It’s easier - you just buy the parts from Ukrainian wrecking yards rather than Russian manufacturers.

I remember going to Hawaii with my family in 1974 and these things were everywhere as rental cars. Perfect car for Hawaii, so long as you don’t mind sitting in the rain from time to time.

And two of the five are mentioned in the article, so they have theirs.

I assume you listed two Item 4s because they could only extend the warranty if they got rid of the CVT. Not many of those things get to 100k miles.

Well, 100 years ago, “Who is Ford?” would bring a similar reaction to “Who is Tesla?” today. And Henry Ford was pretty much the Elon Musk of his time - good and bad.

I’d want the 2002tii touring version for that money. ND

I wonder how much resale value the $3,200 stereo adds? From what I have seen of second hand Audis, BMWs etc. the super high end stereo doesn’t add much, if any, value on the resale market. As a buyer who waits for someone else to take the first couple of years depreciation hit (now more than ever on EVs), I’ll be…

I agree with Billy Ocean - it looks like someone propped an iPad against the dash rather than built it into the dash. I’m sure it is actually integrated but it looks silly. I can’t wait to see the end of this design fad.

This is a mermaid calling you to your doom.....run away!

You should write that up and post it somewhere - I love to read about other people’s restorations. If you have already, post a link.

You probably could if the part was on the shelf - but my Mazda dealer probably wouldn’t. They wouldn’t even admit it was their fault (even though the CEL was on when I picked the car up after the recall work) until I showed them the recall instructions which specifically warned the mechanic to follow the instructions…

I liked the MZR in my Speed6 but it wasn’t a paragon of reliability and my incompetent dealer didn’t help. Every issue took two visits to resolve - one time the car was out of service for a month when they messed up an intake manifold actuator recall and broke the manifold - I had to wait for a replacement manifold…

I’m guessing it’s that cable running under the washer bottle? 

The parts for this bike are unobtainium. The ECUs are 40 years old, known for going bad and are almost impossible to fix.

All these posts about changing the oil and nobody is recommending that you get your own Oil Analysis done? It’s cheap and gives good insight into what your car needs, not what some person’s car on the internet needs.

What a relief - I just bought an F40 and was trying to find a Haines or Chilton manual with no luck....

Love the ECU just sitting in the passenger footwell...If they couldn’t position this critical component properly, what other corners did they cut? ND

Boomer funerals? Business is both increasing and dying...
