could have been so much worse, there’s some 6-10k foot drops from that road.

Accurate?

I’m not sure what it would be, but in the case of severe issues that pose a real and present threat to the safety of others, there needs to be some balance between holding one’s car hostage for profit and the mechanical equivalent to taking the keys from a drunk.

That’s not that far off from how we design playgrounds.

Where’s the Mess?

Always remember, they may not be parking that way because they are jerks, or super anal about protecting their car, it may very well be that they feel the opposite about their car, the additional space surrounding their car is to ensure they’ve got room to maneuver a jack, a creeper and some tools to address whatever…

Any GM with a 5 speed + Quad 4. True, you had to replace the head gasket every 60k miles... but a 180hp 4 banger in the early 90s was pretty impressive.

“I would go right to the Mercedes-Benz museum, where they have one of theJurassic Park ML320s on display.”

My brother and i have both had 91 gm models with these belts, they were a terrible design for those that habitually wore their belts anyway. Mainly due to the fact that if the door were to come open in an accident, you might as well not be wearing one.

I’ve thought about compiling an automotive forensic database that would help identify cars by specific details. It would work by narrowing down the possibilities based on characteristics of the vehicle.

and the pop-up headlamps, 3rd gen.

overall... i kinda like the car, but it looks like they gave up when they got to the headlights.

in grid-locked traffic will if play the news?

Tricky Blogger.... “eleven point onemiles per gallon.” you wrote it out just so i’d have to read for it instead of skimming down to find the numbers.... didn’t you?

I foolishly pulled my slant out in favor of a 318... That slant was incredible. Once drove it over 100 miles through hilly terrain. Noticed it was sputtering a bit, but kept going since i didn’t have a good place to pull over and take a look. Got back to interstate and had it up to speed, still running with a slight…

The more i see this thing in action, the more i start to realize how plausible gi joe vehicles are becoming. The right intake/exhaust locations, and this thing will work.
