1959 Edsel Corsair! I am also keenly awaiting more inflammation about this Corsair. I will bet you a lot of money it will be cooler than the Cadillac TX4 or whatever it's called.

The stuff of science fiction! Very cool. Would be hilarious if they actually pull off some sort of desirable electric vehicle sometime in the next 35 years!

Mercedez Benz News Mercedes-Benz Introduces the A 35 Sedan
ocnblu replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Mercedes-Benz
Most W140 sedans, being top of the line, were originally upholstered in German leather. (1991-1999) BUT... going BACK IN TIME... US bound Mercedes Benz W126 sedans were upholstered in either genuine leather or MB Tex vinyl, most factory colors are available. Most W116 sedans were originally upholstered in either MB-Tex vinyl or German leather. W108 and W109 sedans were upholstered in either MB-Tex vinyl or German leather except for some Euro models The "Fintail" sedan's upholstery were available in either MB-Tex vinyl or German leather.

Dude the Kona is tiny and on the edge of usefulness because of it... I will be waiting to see how a CUV even smaller will work in the USA... I could see it working in Europe... but America?

Mercedez Benz News Mercedes-Benz Introduces the A 35 Sedan
ocnblu replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Mercedes-Benz
Actually I would rather have a higher quality leatherette (my Beetle TDi for example, and my Compass bolsters) than actual leather. It wears much longer and is not prone to cracking. Compare an old S-Class with MB-Tex and leather, I guarantee you the leather will be in worse shape. I am very pleased that my Compass bolsters look perfect after almost 40k miles. My previous Colorado (traded at 38k miles) cloth bolsters were wearing, scuffed and wrinkled on the outer edge. -

How often do you change your oil?
ocnblu replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Product Questions and Reviews
HAHA, here in PA, the law states... simply remove summer air and replace with winter air. No need to switch the en tire -
Sorry but all of their cars came with those very nails.It had jack to do with any EV plans and it is pure trolling and foolish to think that it was when their sales (and their cars) have been garbage since day one. Take a look at sales data and then report back. Immediately. Around here, still see a good few first-gen Smarts. Hardly ever see the "bigger, better" second gen. And ZILCH Smart electrics.

Misty watercolor memories of the way we were.

Final nail was their changeover to all-EV. TAKE A HINT, BARRA!

Jeep News: Why No Turbo-Four in the Jeep Gladiator?!
ocnblu replied to William Maley's topic in Jeep
Yup, and the Ford Bronco will have removable doors and roof as well, with the side mirrors attached to the a-pillar, unlike the Wrangler/Gladiola, which have the mirrors attached to the doors. Ford has a better idea here.- 22 replies

How often do you change your oil?
ocnblu replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Product Questions and Reviews
I wait for the Jeep to ask for it. Speaking of, it just flashed tonight on the way home from work. 39k + miles on odo, had it changed about 6k miles ago. It takes 0-20 synthetic (like water). I use NAPA brand oil and filter and I get our service department to change it. -
Pic was taken about 16 years ago. Thanks, same to ya!

Would have been cool on some fronts. Dodge desperately needs to be in more niches, so does Chrysler. I dearly love the Charger/Challenger/300, and rue the day they no longer exist.
