Nonsense like... vehicle speed, remaining charge/range, etc? Anyway, in one of my cars my speedometer backlight is out, so I use a HUD app on my phone and it works great at night. I’ll probably do the same in this, once my Model 3 reservation comes around (only 200,000 people in front of me haha).

With the M90 gearbox, that thing could conceivably stand up to more power. Looks good overall though I agree, and if I didn’t already have 6 cars in a 3 car garage + 2 cars in a driveway... I’d be all over it.

Thought you were going to expense it a’la Ballaban’s Yugo?

Nice work finding a manual transmission example. All of the Paos I’ve seen for sale locally have been autos.

Yeah it isn’t a regular thing. I installed emulation station/retropie on a Raspberry Pi 3 and was testing some of the games on the living room TV when my wife took a liking to MK. My son wanted to play, so we handed him the control and he beat her a few times before we changed it to Thomas and Friends.

I hear they have a bunch of good Finnish-ing schools there.

This is awesome!

Though my 2.5 year old can beat my wife at Mortal Kombat on the SNES... he hasn’t yet come to grips with the whole concept of “steering” in his power wheel. I think this settles it: we need to move to Finland.

Was going to say this. Would be best Lexus if manual equipped.

Now playing

Mighty Car Mods did it more recently and in higher-def.

I dread this time of year specifically for the “December to Remember” theme song. I hear the first few notes and my urge to kill skyrockets.

I’m a bit ashamed to admit I never thought of this myself.

Mine was a 2005 RX-8 with an April ‘04 build date. Perhaps they’re just holding out hope that the car will expire before they have to install the part?

If that clunk comes back, try hitting the zerks on your driveshaft with some grease. Not sure about Tacos, but my 4Runner’s slip yoke likes to bind up if I don’t lube it every 5k miles or so, and it’ll make a sound from a stop exactly like you’re describing.

I forwarded that article (ref: door-to-door) to my cousin along with the dozens of postcards Honda sent me about my former Accord.

No kidding. It’s not like people are willfully driving around with a claymore pointed at their faces, neglecting to get theirs fixed.

Never wash my car? Done.

You can fix these with a hammer and twine, parts are plentiful (all of them rust on that rocker panel), my favorite body style of Blazer = NP all day.
