did some googling on some of the central California stuff, based on the linked 1957 Edition.

well, i have to give GM credit for actually managing to make it a bit less ugly than the last design. then again, there wasn’t a lot of room to make it worse, sooo....

my mid-2000's b-series does, and it’s semi effective.

Slug Bug!

i was thinking the same thing. that’s the only rational explanation why that monstrosity isn’t on the list.

I can’t imagine that there aren’t a bunch of contributing factors to this besides “people are inconsiderate assholes”. Lack of availability of most things that aren’t trucks and SUVs (Ford discontinuing most of their cars, honda discontinuing the fit...), which is also partly down to the fact that trucks are the big…

JB weld got my VW through its last smog without having to buy a $500+ one year only, CA only, EGR filter because the case on mine was split most of the way around...probably wasn’t a fan of the fireballs it would spit with the 5 degrees ATDC the dual vacuum distributor threw in when i wound it up and lifted off the…

that, and the people willing to take out ever longer loans to afford a status symbol...any bets how long till we hit 15 year car notes?

for which i’m thankful :D 

right? and then we make the vehicles taller and heavier to meet the safety standards, and all of the sedans go away to meet the safety standards...

with the recent change to the side impact standards being even more difficult for small cars, no doubt there’s no chance of the fit coming back. even the accord slipped with the change, and the camry fell to ‘poor’. the fit wouldn’t stand a chance in that.

doesn’t look cut in half, looks like one of the smaller standard roll-off dumpsters with a liner (say...10-15 yard range), which have lower sides than the full 40-50 yard stuff most people think of.

My experiences with AAA have been hit or miss over the years. Usually about an hour to respond. Some careless drivers scraping the exhaust on the ground on the low car (ignored me as i was telling him it was going to hit), others on the ball with the no starts and dead batteries.

Murple looks to be an ex-Jucy van....did Jucy pull out of the states?

How does this list NOT include Carmageddon?

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
