Then you’d best not drive anywhere. Statistically that’s far more dangerous than a train.

Amtrak Fun Fact:

How many lumens exactly does a Heather Graham put out?

Okay, that’s the best documented reply I’ve seen from one anonymous person to another - and bravo for that!

Might happen after the presidential pardon ...

We were cross shopping the Pao / Figaro / S-Cargo and nearly bought the Pao that I wrote about in my The Truth About Cars story:

You’re right, fabric would obscure the goods. With .6 cu/ft of airspace I’d think an 8" is probably more appropriate. Also would need a lo-profile mono amp and we can drive the existing speakers from the head unit. And this coming from a guy who use to have a couple of 1o’s & a five channel amp - back when ADS was a…

Gangsta klezmer and tejano-step.

Your mission, should you accept it, is to find a C4 Corvette convertible, look at the tiny parcel area behind the seats and then suggest a sub. Our B2300 single cab truck has a JL Audio W3v3 subwoofer behind the seats that works quite well and we’re considering a 2nd one. As small as it is, it’s borderline too big for…

81.5mpg over 19 miles is child’s play, hell I’d get over 100mpg drafting trucks going down the continental divide, no joke. But when you can average 70mpg at about 70mph over 1445 miles, well then, now you’re talking.

1st gen, an all aluminum two seat car with good safety ratings, airbags, air-con, power windows and locks and magically under 1900 lbs is light-ish? Ho-kay ...

Perhaps not “best” but certainly gorgeous:

We got the convertible, thus almost no room for an amp and sub. WTF was GM thinking, not giving it a trunk? The parcel space behind the seats is pitiful, equivalent to the space behind the seats in my TR6.

We’ll take your recommendations to heart. 1990 was the 1st year of a double-din head unit. I’ve installed a few systems over the years, but now that I’m not broke I’d rather farm the task out. Don’t the Bose speakers each have a small dedicated amp that’s got speaker level inputs, not line level? Depending on…

Anything that’s a poke to the eye of the stringback glove wearing Ferrari-istas is okay with me.

We’re getting quotes on a double-din unit to replace the awful single din unit a DPO (dumb prior owner) installed. We might need smelling salts afterwards. The goal is to keep the Bose amplified speakers if they’re looking good and don’t have decaying surrounds.

We just bought a mint condition ‘90 Corvette convertible with a 6-speed and despite not being the LT1, it’s pretty rad. After a lifetime of tiny sports cars with low torque engines (RX7, Prelude, 240z) it’s a revelation to drive a tank-sized “sports” car. Getting one with working a/c, cruise and a sharp interior for 5…

Sigh. Again, I said *metal flake* “metallic” green. Of course there were bright green colors esp. on Mopar products back in the day.

Certainly there were metallic green cars before the Insight. I myself owned an ‘81 Mercedes 300sd in “thistle green” that was metallic - but was def. NOT retina-searing nor stand-out. The Insight was the first car in my adult life that was eye popping in hue and was certainly the predecessor to similar colors on the…

Totally agree. That particular green color was revolutionary when it came out, literally no other mass produced car had been sold with a retina-bursting green metallic finish before the Insight. And it was very well applied, I guess because it went down the assembly line literally next to the one that was screwing…
