I’ll be praying for you and hope everything goes smooth.

I was helping a guy working on the front suspension of a Chevelle when the coil spring decided to release its potential energy.  It moved so fast I only saw the garage window explode.  It landed in his swimming pool.  Everyone was ok, but that was the last time for me with coil springs.  

I hate compressed gasses. I’m a hydraulics guy, I’d rather deal with 5,000psi oil than 100psi air.

Your back? Good luck, really hope it improves things. <hug>

This is why you don’t fuck around with stored energy.

30% off with a 3k cap is only 30% off up to 10k in price.  I think it’s 4k, though, which would make it 30% only up to 13.3k

Sleeping on the tracks??? I’m going to go out on a limb here (pun intended) and say that drugs and/or alcohol were involved.

Isn’t it up to $4k off? 

The places that I have found which ACC has issues is with changing lanes or open roads with curves.

Local dealer here has Blazer EVs for $199 or Equinox EVs for $159, both with $2k down. For $44k-ish and $53k-ish vehicles. You’d be real dumb to buy one and take the depreciation hit over 2 years when those lease opportunities are out there.

Just leased a Blazer EV RS AWD for $260 per month - zero down - with a one pay lease. Purchased the vehicle in Texas and shipped to Florida.

I think a hybrid, Maverick-based van would sell like hotcakes.

I’d agree in most cases, except for the Daimlerberus era Chrysler interiors. There wer all one or two steps below their competitors in every metric. Materials were terrible but they were also actively trying to be ugly and misshapen.

i can’t stand adaptive cruise control. it’s only benefit comes if I am distracted so it slows down in front.

I do like the 2nd gen. At the very least it has a personality and a unique style for the time.

Karens are everywhere, and you’re a fool to assume otherwise.

This is the correct answer. Anything that inhibts the safe operation of a motor vehicle, for the driver, other drivers, and pedestrians. And yet, ‘Colorblind’ laws to you can enforce them with whatever prejudices you happen to have...consistently and measurably...over decades.

The design and layouts are largely fine. With the American stuff, I’m more concerned about the cheap materials warping/fading/breaking/chipping. The thin plastic will start to get brittle, clips will snap, there will be creaks/rattles, buttons fade or get sticky and gross. A lot of cars from that era use cheap…

That my sir was time travel.
