Even kei trucks are tiny compared to American trucks.

This is partially Jalopnik’s fault. There was an article here a few years ago the said Caddies were great tow vehicles!

Nailed it. And sure, I could play King’s Quest in 16-color, but unfortunately Test Drive didn’t support the Tandy graphics. I do remember the Test Drive intro song having a bassline, though, so I suppose the three-channel sound was supported.

If anyone wants to take it for a spin...

I’m jealous. I ran it on an 7.16 MHz 8088 processor with no HDD and a single 5.25 floppy. I had to keep swapping the disks. We had glorious 4-color CGA graphics, too. I believe this game led to the first time I opened a computer case and messed around inside.  We had to upgrade to 640 KB of RAM to get it to run.

The only thing I would change for EV application is driver control.

That happened to me. I’m not the guy in that video, but under similar circumstances, I had the side curtains deploy in my V-wagon on the last corner of an autocross course. Set my best time of the day, that run, too.

Is there a way to get the car out of Super Pursuit Mode, or is it stuck that way?

I remember seeing an ad for this exact concept back in the late eighties, I think. It was in the back of one of the major automotive magazines, and it would let you choose from various legendary V-8s, V-12s, and even a jet engine. It played through the radio, and I think it tapped into the ignition to vary the pitch

But now the Mercedes star is backwards.

Number one is tantalizingly close to an early Dodge Viper. To quote Jean Jennings (or, rather, Jean Lindamood at the time):

Um, no. The Fleetwood was never competitive in any class. Fun, yes. But not competitive.

I see your Lincoln and raise you 800 pounds.

And just to resurrect this thread one more time, I’d like to quote a passage from The Morgan 3 Wheeler: – back to the future! by Peter Dron:

Somehow a Yield sign means “Stop completely even if no vehicles are in the area” to some people. Or those who stop in the roundabout. Or...or...or...

I think I prefer the headlights on the other, other 962-based road car, the Koenig C62.

What you lose in having a truck bed, you gain in being able to fold the seats down (or take them out), and sleep inside your SUV.

I can’t speak to the L98 or L93 that sat in front of these transmissions (it’s been too long since I worked on one) but the 1990s LT1 is the same way. During disassembly, you start with all metric tools, an by the time you dig deeper in, everything is SAE. It’s like automotive archaeology.
