I wasn’t even thinking about that use case, but you’re right. And if a race car is too tall, I bet something like a Honda Beat could fit. Hmmm...I have a Honda Beat. Read more

That was a strange error. I had it corrected! Read more

I love the way that you think! Though, with current diesel prices I’m afraid our mobile command center would cost more than a real office. lol Read more

It is! I’m so used to seeing built LS engines used for stuff like this that the use of this 350 stood out. But I guess it makes sense. The previous owner just wanted to tow, not do endless burnouts. Read more

I have you know that all most some a couple of my Volkswagens don’t even have a check engine light on right now. And I think the lights are functional... Read more

A pilot with a sense of humor thought the same! In one of the communications reviewed in the investigation a pilot told ATC that they thought they were in Airplane! for a moment. Read more

Around here you see folks running around with magnetic dealership plates slapped onto the backs of their cars. You could rack up some serious miles on dealer plates without being bothered by police. Read more

Oh I’d so LOVE to write that article. Read more

The general consensus among enthusiasts and mechanics (such as Car Wizard) seems to be that they’ll last longer than the cars that they’re mounted to. They have a few weak spots (plastic cooling line elbows, intake manifold) that when fixed make for a practically bulletproof engine. Our old 3800 fell to that… Read more

I get why these cars were panned back in the day, given the strange ergonomics and lack of space. However, I love to see what’s great about every car and I think that these had a lot going for them. I bet if they had the chance at a second generation GM could have worked out those kinks. And you bet I’m going to enjoy… Read more

That is definitely on my agenda. I taught myself transmission fluid changes with the Touareg and now I want to change all of the transmission fluids. :) Read more

It was! TDU is still one of my favorite games of all-time. Read more

You know, that has happened just once thus far. I didn’t think much of it because a Smart can sometimes do similar when it has some miles on it. Thanks for the tip! Read more

I’ll look into that! I think a lot of the price has to do with mileage. I’ve noticed that a lot of the ones listed for $16k and the like have around 50,000 miles. This one has 140,000, which doesn’t scare me one bit. Read more

Perhaps! :) But I love that at one point in the not too distant past, GM wanted to be at the affordable roadster table and gave buyers more choice. Read more

Another car that I loved to drive in videogames as a kid! Read more

A half hour doesn’t sound too bad, actually. This one has a battery with a resting voltage of 12.1 V, so I reckon that a battery is in its near future. Read more

It’s super easy! I just hit the trunk button on the fob, retrieve the roof, then latch it into place near the windshield and into those shiny holes next to the buttresses. Read more

I haven’t looked into the replacement procedure, but the battery appears to be buried behind the front right wheel without any easy way to get to it. Read more

I had to drive with the top up on a portion of the drive home. It definitely seems like GM designed this to be top-down all of the time unless you absolutely had to drive with it up. Read more
