Corporate welfare. When times are good corporations scream about free markets, less regulation, lower fees and taxes. Yet when times are tough they are begging the taxpayers for money.

Could be the thermostat, take it out and put in a pot of boiling water to see if it opens, or just throw in a new one, they are cheap. And a car that old the throttle cable could have some slack or the cable housing is just gunked up. Its really no different than a bicycle brake cable, maybe work some wd-40 into the…

GM is retaliating because Ontario chose FORD.

Maintain one reliable runner and one project.  Enough with having eight scrapheaps.  Eight partially compleated projects = zero accomplished.  

Nice, I had a 87 hatchback. Very comfortable, your legs are straight out unlike most modern cars where its like sitting on a chair. Lets see, dont use synthetic oil, easy with the 3rd gear, my synchro wore out, change the fuel filter because I think it killed my fuel pump, yeah and double check the alternator. I put…

“I don’t like the way these extra giant bumpers ruin the style of the car, blah blah blah”. 

Nice.  And you can see in slow motion the stump tearing the hell out of the bottom of the hay bale.  Funny how she mentions that her co driver did a great job putting out the fire so they still have a “car”.  

Don’t put blind faith in snow tires.  Worn out snows are no better than brand new all seasons.  And don’t assume consistent conditions.  One corner may be much more slippery than another one.  Same thing with braking zones.

Local currency cash in small denominations.  

Slap on some chains.

The road was soft sand and he had to maintain momentum so he would not get stuck.  Come on, that is driving skill 101 !  Well done, you did not get stuck.

7 speed ? That thing has so much power a 5 or even 4 speed would suffice. Drive around and enjoy that wave of power on each shift.  Then again you could skip gears like the reviewer mentioned.

I knew about the stove/dryer 240v thing but the 3 electric car owners I have talked to said they nevered bothered getting a 240v hookup for their car. I was suprised about this. They said they don’t drive too far, some days they don’t drive at all, wife/husband has an ICE car for long trips ect. I was  wondering if…

Distances in the UK are not as big as NA . I believe UK voltage is 240v so that makes home charging a bit quicker, I think, not sure on that one though.  Anyone know ?

Let us know how it’s one of the best transmissions in 10 years.

Are there any dsg’s out there with 250,000 miles ?  With no $$$ repairs ?  I doubt it.

I’m sure lobbyists are already throwing money at her.

Can someone explain the term ‘Shooting Brake’ ?

That would literally be my first choice, and I have skied a lot.  Small car handling, a smooth highway runner, good mpg, lots of room, reliable.
