At the very least it was repainted under warranty. I don’t think there’s been a single white (or silver or blue) Lumina with original paint that WASN’T delaminating from the primer since approximately 1992.

“Very Hard To Find” translates from eBay bottom-feeder to English as “I bought out the entire stock from three different Walmarts.”

If you can score a manual Honda Fit at a reasonable price don’t overlook it. It’s not *fast* (nor is it slow, really)  but it’s definitely fun and far more useful than a sedan even two sizes bigger.

Depending on where in the country they’re moving the only issue I’d be wary of on an ‘00s Mazda is rust.

By the time of this ad artwork (late ‘50s), Morris Minors sent to America for sale as new cars had the semaphores deleted and the parking and brake lights wired as flashing turn signals, as VW did. Unlike VW which presented a clean B-pillar with no trafficator hole in this form, the Minor had a blanking plate where…

“Incest in Kenosha”? Or some less obvious/more derivative of a mainstream movie title?

And we’re stuck with King Bran as canon until he does. 

I noticed you mentioned having a GV Plus but first misidentifying it as an (earlier, top of the line) GVX. I can remember the local Yugo dealer having had exactly one GVX, in black over silver, out front by the entrance.

Kitchenette goes, Pissing Contest goes, but Dirt Bag is apparently not going anywhere.

ND. The only way an FWD A-body is worth 7k is if it’s a perfect timewarp wagon with a 3800.

Still too pricey and rigid, if they really want to do this Tesla should commit fully and make FSD rentable by-the-trip since around town/on a regular commute is probably the last place it’ll be able to live up to its’ name. So for $9.95 ($19.95 bundled with some Supercharging if you’re going over 500 miles) you should…

Welllll....d...

I mean, it’s not like WB went all the way and did a Looney Tunes-Batman crossover. 

Tom Bodett, is that you?

I’d heard about the MR2 “Hose from Hell” and as for the Sable it’s a known fact that the first operation on an auto assembly line is hanging the heater core from a string and they then build the whole car around it. 

I’ve done it on the Yaris, took me an afternoon and damn straight I replaced both bulbs while I was in there even though only one was burnt out. OTOH I only had to do it once in the 12 years I owned the car, toward the end of that period.

Scrolled down, saw the sandwich, thought there was going to be an Eat the Rich comment. 

It would be badged Dodge or Chrysler, not Buick. I know, I have trouble with the whole “Opel’s not part of GM anymore, and somehow connected to Mopar” thing too.

IMO it’s not as bad a problem for something like the Bronco which is its’ own model on its’ own platform (indeed, BOF chassis) made expressly for the American market as it is for something like the Focus RS or Civic Type R where corporate wants to make a go/no-go decision on federalizing the next generation, which is…

In a parallel-universe where they were racing MkII Escorts at Talladega, that would mean they had been sold new in the US market so would have sidemarker lights, big bumpers and of course be left-hand drive. Probably a plastichrome grille, chrome-ringed taillights and Ford’s “Tolkien” steering wheel (one ring to rule…
