Learn to read. Switch, not stitch.

I have one, thank you.

Steering wheel switches?

The aforementioned RSRA.

The B-58 was a gorgeous airframe. Very aesthetically pleasing.

Me three!

I have an irrational love for the XB-70. Can’t wait to head to Wright Patterson to see the AV-1.

Platypus.

Sadly, there’s not enough spray paint in the world to fix the 580 West. It’d be a penis centipede for about 10 miles, in and between every lane.

If a mechanic did this in my Fit, meh. My Viper, I’d be pissed. Though I do all maintenance, I have to take both cars in to smog, get new tires, have alignments performed...not sure how you would be able to keep “joy riding” mechanics from taking the car out.

6k for an NA MR2? I don’t care how clean it is, CP.

My exact plan.

I’m going to tackle this exact job on my 96 Viper GTS in a couple week, but I’m going to fabricate my own tool to press the old bushings out and new ones in, as the control arms are aluminum and I don’t want to risk butchering them with the hacksaw and/or screwdriver and pry bar.

Haha, never really liked the Gen III or IV Vipers, and I can’t afford a 90k Gen V. Gen II GTS was always my dream car as a kid anyway...hence the Gen I and II specific Sneaky Pete avatar.

Now that is an interesting tidbit. Wonder what the weight difference was. You’d think a couple of motors would weigh more than a couple of gears.

It was designed in the early 90s and built in 96, I assume they had to have some Neons with hand crank windows.

Wish my Viper had hand crank windows. No ABS, no traction control, no stability control, barely has an operating stereo, no power mirrors, but they opted to install power windows? Why, Dodge, why?

Gen V Viper has traction control, so I’m assuming it’s been government mandated since pre-2013

Hey Automakers Alliance - f&ck you! I won’t buy one of your new cars.

Seriously, and it’s awful.
