Definitely some awesome cars in this movie. One of my favorite movies this year too.
I always listen to Car Talk while I’m working on my cars. It keeps me in a good mood even when the job is frustrating.
Just took my 5th gen SS on a 1,700 mile trip last week with my wife. We put some things in the back seat but there was plenty of space for a week of clothes, snacks, souvenirs, emergency tool kit, cleaning supplies, and other odds and ends. I imagine the 6th gen is just a bit tighter on space, but don’t worry about it.
Did anybody else notice the Buick Rendezvous in this video? Did they sell those in Hungary?
Saturn! No, I’m not kidding. I’ve got a 1994 SC2. It was my first car when I got it almost 12 years ago. It had about 130,0000 miles when I bought it and I’ve just about doubled that. Sure, I’ve replaced a bunch of worn out bits but the engine has been nearly trouble free. It has only not started for me twice. Once…
Now I miss my Sea Doo XP really really bad. :(
If I had to guess I would say it is because the aerospace industry knows a lot about comosites, and the aerospace industry is HUGE up there.
This could be true. Maybe I haven’t used mine enough to run into problems. However, it is still a great resource. Doing research from multiple sources before starting a job is always a good idea. I usually consult the Bently and Haynes manual as well as search forums and YouTube before I start.
I’m not sure if you’re joking or not. But in either case a link to Bentley Publishers would have been helpful in my original post. They cover many makes and models.
A Bentley repair manual is an incredible resource. I can’t recommend them enough. Well worth the $100 if they make one for your car. It lays out every task with clear diagrams and step by step instructions. All pertinent torque specs and other information is right there too. They even have an extensive self study…
Look, I didn’t intend to start an argument. I’m not an idiot and I doubt that you are either. My point was that these doors could be an annoyance for owners in poor weather conditions. You’re right, the solution to snow on the roof is to store your brush outside of the car. I already do this when I know snow is…
You’re fun.
I do. But my ice scraper/snow brush is typically inside the car.
Tesla is based in Palo Alto, CA. Which is in the San Francisco Bay area. Northern California. Still, I understand your point. I’m from Ohio and I have the same concern about these doors. Model X owners will just love it when they open the rear doors and snow falls off the roof and directly on the seat.
True, battery packs and electric R/C cars aren’t completely maintenance free. I totally understand the allure of nitro and I still think they’re crazy cool. I just really love being able to charge up a couple battery packs and go. Now that brushless motors give me all the performance of nitro engines I just can’t see…
I have one of these. It is an absolute blast to drive. I used to be big into nitro powered R/C cars but with brushless motors and LiPo batteries I can’t see a reason not to go electric these days. Nitro R/C engines are a giant pain in the ass.
Flew SAM 26000? Now that is cool! Would love to hears stories about that.
