These can be had for dirt cheap on CL, with low miles in good condition from $5,000-$8,000 depending. basically a two seater mini truck.

You don’t look for something specific, you fire up Craigslist and find whatever cheap POS fits your bill, has a current smog cert, and doesn’t smell too terrible on the inside. Then beat that hooptie ‘til the wheels fall off.

Meh, tapes are cool and vintage and all, but not as cool or as vintage as my system, which is a lute-playing minstrel riding shotgun.

He’s making the transition now, this is how it starts.  Be careful Andrew, once you go full Torchinsky, there’s no going back.

And yet here you are, in the comments section.

Honestly it’s buyer beware at this point.

Seems like an unnecessarily complicated way to gain entry to one’s vehicle.

Yeah, but, who has full coverage on a 1991 HONDA ACCORD?

I know right? I only found out by google searching “WD40 red tube.”

Ok, I’m going to attempt to actually help you, David. There is a Grand Wagoneer at the Pontiac U-Pull and Save. It has all it’s drivetrain as far as I can tell. Now go get Project Redwood running! Go! Go! Go! The shitty weather is coming!!

They’re in the central console and steering wheel. You get used to using them pretty fast. You don’t need to look at them after a while.

Having owned a car with the screen like that, I have to say that is functionally better than having it in a shroud. You feel like you have more visibility of the road ahead, and it takes your eyes off the road less when you have to look at it. Aesthetically inferior, but functionally superior.

It’s easier to a) control mpg by controlling the timing of gear changes and b) it’s easier to make a torque converter for a heavy car that can handle a lot of torque than to make a clutch that can handle the same amount of torque (both manual transmission and dual clutch autos).

How many times have you replaced or rebuilt that 2.3.

Yes, can’t have any cars leaving the factory without the enormous panel gap.

Well, they obviously ran when parked.

What kind of shit ass ‘mechanic’ replaces a water pump without even ATTEMPTING to test the thermostat??

child labor isn’t solely a “green” energy problem.

That’s the weirdest ‘right, front wheel well’ I’ve ever seen......
