And replacing that big screen could also involve ripping apart large parts of your dashboard. These “tablets” will not be a commodity replacement part that you can just plug in any off the shelf tablet and run with it, unfortunately. It will still be an OEM part, manufacturer-specific. And that will make it very…

Remember that episode of Cheers where Sam sold his Corvette and replaced it with a Volare? I didn’t know what a Volare was at the time, but the reactions he got made it pretty clear it was not a desirable automobile. I still know nothing about Volares except what I learned from one episode of a fictional television…

Maybe. But it’s a hell of a lot more expensive than a little plastic knob, too.

Yup. The only thing left to wear out now is the screen. And when that goes... you lose everything, instead of just the one thing that button or switch controlled. And the screen will cost 100x more to replace when it breaks.

HELLCAT ALL THE THINGS!!!

“The market is betting on rumors that their Chinese partner wants to enter the group,”

Don’t know. Never seen them before. But you can get a nice torque wrench for the same 100 bucks (or less) that will definitely work.

Which is bad. It’s also a far cry from “never use an impact wrench”.

There’s a big difference between “using an impact wrench to spin the lug nuts until they are snug” and “using a pneumatic impact wrench at full power as the sole means of attaching the lug nuts and tightening them to within an inch of their lives.”

Right behind the U-Wing cockpit, right where you expect to find it, I see a feature that looks vaguely droid-shaped. It wouldn’t surprise me if an R2 unit fit in there perfectly.

Good point. Although brake/clutch lines are going to need a good looking at. Still, nothing scary or expensive.

In my experience, car dealers don’t even have the courtesy to reach around and touch my genitals when they go about their business.

I was with you all the way up to “Mondial”. That car is ugly no matter how you slice it.

You’re going to have to take it apart to get to all the old seals and such anyway. Cleaning it is dirty work, but not difficult. I’d rather do this than try to pull apart a rusty old heap.

Hardly. Hoses, belts, seals, and anything else made of rubber is worn out and needs to be replaced. But it should be a relatively simple task to recondition the motor and get it into running condition again. Hell of a lot easier than rebuilding a motor that’s been sitting out rusting for 40 years. This ones basically…

Part out.

I’d be ok with that. Wave was a cool idea.

The Colt and Chevette seem like good candidates, especially since they didn’t seem to last more than a few frames.

Pretty much anything with an early-era airbag in it. No one figured out how to make them smaller until years later.
