i guess it’d make too much sense to allow for choosing something approximating actual engine sounds? 

couldn’t the weight issue be mitigated somewhat based on placement of the wheel? that was the best picture i turned up on google, but i remember seeing similar trailers behind VWs at shows that had the wheel in the center of the trailer, so somewhat less load directly carried by the car.

just need to do the trailer swivelwheel style. little pain with the extra length, but shouldn’t be too much more difficult than normal reversing, just have to remember the axis will still be the back wheels of the vehicle.

given some of the GM products i’ve had as rentals...even back to the mid 2000's (malibu and impala mostly, plus one saturn) had the ability to change units of measurement in the cluster with a couple button pushes...even the ‘analog’ gauges. can’t imagine the traverse didn’t have this in 2016

fly and ride adventure sounding tempting right now...

buying from a dealer? probably 3 or 4 days drive back, and fly out.

that ‘aftermarket suspension’ going on with the Camaro in slide 8 is a set of leaf spring traction bars...keeps the axle from twisting the leaf springs (and wheelhopping itself into a broken axle shaft) when you lay into the loud pedal.

I guess mine arent either, thankfully.

It probably used to be more like 35-40, and I think used to be 4 lanes...there was a big thing awhile back about making things more bike friendly, which meant a bunch of 4 lane streets restriped to 1 each way with a shared left turn lane and bike lanes. It's proximity to a "posted 45, reality more like 60" street is

Figured out where this is...I think there’s a few contributing factors to why it’s such an issue:

i think my mazda missed the memo. 6' bed, and i hauled home a couple of 20 foot long 2x10's out the back of the bed. gate up, some 2x4's laid vertically under them for support, a few bags of cement stacked on them at the front of the bed, and a couple ratchet straps over the top and lasso’d over the ends.  note i did

this. kick one of the mentions of california off the list (i even say this living there) or hell, Nevada. The RANGE of terrain and views in Utah is mind boggling.

i ended up telling off Mazda salesperson from the next town over megadealer; we’d stopped in looking at BUYING a 3, they harassed us endlessly with lease offers.

Yup, having dealt with a couple Kia dealerships in my area...the Stinger’s worst enemy (and Kia’s overall, really) is Kia dealerships.  They’re still trapped in that barely-above-a-buy-here-pay-here-scummy-used-car-lot mentality instead of practically letting the cars sell themselves.

we have a SI in the household...that manual is high on the list, though i haven’t been able to talk anyone into handing me the keys to an RSX or S2k.

he sent an agent in his place so you wouldn’t know it was him.

but by the time it makes it through the mail, at least half of them will have vanished.

i want to say it was Hot Rod that had an article some years back on the supercharged Grand Prix when they were new, did a stock/mild/wild comparo, but google has failed me at finding any references to it.

bad wording on my part...working out with the better half to share a car...shuffling work schedules to accommodate only having one car instead of the usual two.

That, and for some inexplicable reason, AAA still uses them for rentals when your car is in for insurance work. I used to rent from Hertz for sheer convenience since they’re close, but it was bad enough that not only did we stop, we turned down the offered rental the last time and opted to instead balance sharing a
