I knew a guy that had one of the Escort ZX2's when they first came out. He added 4 extra quarts of oil because he could not see it in the filler. He drove about 30 miles. He eventually got Ford to buy the car back under lemon law. Big Dummies

All I can say is GM is not worried about taking chances. Just in the past 15 years you have: SSR, G8 GXP, Aztec, Trailblazer SS, SS, CTS-V Wagon, 1G CTS-V’s, GTO’s. I’m not saying that they are all great cars, but I can almost guarantee that no focus group approved of them. It’s almost like the right people are in…

Sorry I was looking at the SR4 not the LR4

Well Plymouth only sold three cars in 1995. The Acclaim, Neon, Grand Voyager. I’m gonna guess Neon.

That stuff is for multi-mode fiber and has the same distance problems as CAT6 (100m). These also use LED’s and not lasers. These also take 12 fibers to make this data rate, so there is that. The tech mentioned in the article is single-mode fiber using only two fibers(transmit/receive), and can over much longer…

or interconnects in data centers, or fiber to the desk, or point to point interconnects for MDF’s and IDF’s inside buildings.

It all depends. Sometimes shops will buy/lease the car and modify it themselves for R+D for parts/kits to sell. UR cheapest twin turbo kit for a Lambo is around $45k, so that may tell you the kind of money involved. Sometimes customers let their cars be test cars. Customer pays for all the parts, the shop will usually…

I put these legs on the Brainbot yesterday, and had to change it. These legs do up the sexiness in a 7 of 9 way, and I was uncomfortable about that.

Riddle me this. I have a 72 Valiant with a 3.7L (225ci) slant six with the single barrel. I also own a 92 accord with a 2.2L (134ci). My trusty Valiant barely makes 110hp and I am lucky to get 20mpg driving on 55mph backroads. My crappy accord with still get over 30mpg cruising 80 on the freeway and made 140hp. Just…

I can confirm that they came with different factory recaro’s and bbs rims. I had a GLI about 15 years ago. I built the motor with cams and headwork and proceeded to blow up the transmission. I still got $3500 back then.

My uncle, who was a plastic surgeon in Miami, bought a ‘74 450SL 4 speed new. It was yellow, but not the bright yellow, with tan top and interior. He kept that thing immaculate until the day he died in 1988. Dealer serviced and maintained, it probably had 30k on it when he died. My aunt sold it to an independent merc…

The only reason I will torrent anymore is if I absolutely have to. A year or two ago I really needed a copy of Procomm+. I’m pretty sure Symantec has not sold that particular software in many years. I looked around and found some used copies on floppy, but they were all the 16-bit version. It took me about 15 seconds…
