Best dollars ever spent was getting the last set of snows on their own steelies, and not just because being able to do the seasonal swap at home. Second winter, one took a pothole ding that would have absolutely anhiliated the alloy (the snows have taller sidewalls on 1” smaller rims). Twenty bucks to straighten it…

With one man on the mitt/brush and one on the hose, you can squeezze two cars into the bay and wash both in the same amount of time as doing one solo.

Because Roadmaster.

There’s actually a good reason for this. Most cars go through styling before engineering, so the vents get drawn on before anyone knows exactly what the actual cooling load is going to be. The default is to start with the biggest vents that might be needed, then once a motor is selected, block off as much vent as…

This has got to at least be the longest un-corrected one.

Really, the only problem was that grille. The Rendevous version sold brilliantly.

Just about everything in this picture. Huge bay for a small engine, no stupid plastic covers, yet just changing the air filter is a three bandaid job. I’m dreading my upcoming spark plug replacement, and if I burn out a headlight I’m just going to sell the car.

Just the back 3? Subaru suggest jacking up the motor to get to ANY of the plugs.

Also, SAAB was putting runway friction testers in cars long before the 9-5.

Operative word is “drive”. Not “watch get loaded onto a flatbed in your driveway”.

Great daily driver for the suburbs.

I’m picturing someone standing in his front yard in the rain as a group of betweeded chaps ceremoniously tear up his certificate and clip his eight foot long fingernails.

I do wonder if they send someone to at least retrieve your certificate.

They also don’t offer admission to people who didn’t apply.

Clutch in is stop eventually, not right away. I’m thinking he gave it too much gas (or any really) when he let the clutch out, then when hurtling toward the wall stomped back on the clutch instead of the brake.

Basically, yes. All motor vehicle operators have a legal responsibility to anticipate and respond to road conditions. “I lost grip” will not get you out of a ticket if you slide off of the road. The very fact that you stuffed it is considered proof that you were driving too fast for the conditions.

Saab is the 11th mistake that can kill a luxury car company: trying to be one when you’re not. Nothing up through the 1st gen 900 was a luxury car. Going up-market like Saab tried to do takes loads of cash, and they just never had enough to really commit.

Or some metal flake.

“falling off a bike is not illegal”

It’s a bit comforting to know that the guns were shopped into all of these pictures and that she wasn’t really holding them.
