I’d pretty happily drive a Cimarron, if only because the odds someone’s preserved a Sunbird from that era are so minimal.

Sure does! Opinions are mixed about how much structural rigidity the doors add, and how necessary they truly are, but mine’s daily-driven, I haven’t had the doors on for nearly a year now, and I am...an ungentle wheeler, and it hasn’t broken yet. Yet.

Yes we do. Yes, we do. Only problems I’ve ever had with the police (rightly) involved mirrors, and a couple bucks worth of aftermarket motorcycle parts fixed that. But I haven’t pushed my luck with PA yet; my next outing to Centralia should prove a helpful test.

Without any guards, how close does the OneBlade shave? To stubble, like a trimmer, or to skin, like a razor, or somewhere in-between? How well does it handle very curved surfaces, like the back of the head?

Sorry, no, I mean the “Mist function”, whereby the wipers engage once, on command, not on a timer. So I never just have the wipers on: I choose when the windshield needs cleared, and clear it. This works much, much better for me than Rain-X, which is in my experience less reliable at clearing the windshield than…

I should say, too, that other people drove the same cars and preferred the Rain-X to the use of wipers: it’s entirely possible that it’s my bias toward a completely clear windshield (through the practiced use of the Mist function, never the timed wipers), and not some quality of Rain-X, that’s to blame for my disdain…

I’ve used multiple formulations from multiple brands on multiple cars, following directions to the letter, and even had it professionally applied. My results have always been worse than simply using the wipers’ Mist function. As I’ve mentioned in other replies, it’s also been several years, and I also drive some…

I might be super-picky, I might not be driving fast enough, or I might have cars with odd windflow over the windshield. Also, it’s worth noting I haven’t tried it again recently, after many years of disappointment. If it works for you, though, go for it!

My experience differs. Perhaps things have changed in the decade-plus since I’ve used it, but neither wiper fluid nor washing the car nor letting it rain a whole bunch has resulted in a surface that clears water as well as the wipers. It’s worth noting that I’m very particular about transparency, and drive more than a…

Rain-X is, in my opinion, just an absolute disaster. Not all cars have aerodynamics that allow Rain-X to do its thing, and when it’s not doing its thing (also, for example, at low speeds), the use of wipers makes the windshield just a smear. Anytime anyone puts that troublesome elixir on a car I buy, the first thing I…

Police reportedly said the truck was transporting the eel load to Korea “for consumption.”

See the dark red bits on the front, almost parallel to the direction of travel? Those are the coilovers. You can just barely catch a hint of them at the back, too. Once you spot those, you can see the pushrods and how they hook up to the wishbones.

I’d happily daily-drive it just the way it sits (it’s not really that much different from what I daily now), but it’s missing one really important part: any kind of rollover protection whatsoever. Not saying that would stop me, just saying it probably should.

Hey, man, that’s fine, too: that’s what most people will be doing, however self-indulgent it might be. I’ll be driving a car with no doors that gets 13 miles per gallon; ain’t none of us saints down here.

Here’s how to survive without air conditioning, at home or in your car: don’t have air conditioning. Just don’t. Don’t have it, and don’t use it when it’s available. You’ll get very used to it, very quickly, and you’ll figure out how and when to work around temperatures. Keep in mind that 99.999% of human history was…

Oh, yah, you betcha. I still have them somewhere, but I’ve never bothered to spend the 20 minutes it’d take to make them easy to get on and off, because I’m very deeply lazy, and clearly hate work more than being cold or wet.

I drive this every day, all day, all year ‘round, and I feel bad for people who, for whatever reason, aren’t able to drive their favorite toys every day. It’s not always easy, but it’s always fun, even up here in the frozen tundra. When it comes time for my commute, or a 13-hour excursion to civilization, I don’t…

Oh, buddy! Don’t you know how school works? If you’ve got candy, you have to share with everyone. You can’t just sit in the corner gnawing away, lording your sweets over the starving plebes.
