  1. Yes..pretty easy to navigate...have to find the DVD, though..I've misplaced it.
  2. Are they static images or can you manipulate them to see the parts in different ways? Static.. I suspect it's a print manual that's been digitized..like a PDF. I used it to change out my seat back in '09, to charge my A/C..going to use it to replace the door window/lock switch soon.
  3. I have a shop manual DVD for the Jeep and it's been very useful on multiple occasions. Has nice exploded diagrams on how everything goes together w/ directions.
  4. Looks like a Corolla Tercel hatchback from around 1980..
  5. I see a lot more new Acuras than new Buicks or Lincolns around here..one of my bosses has an '11 TL, very nice inside..the exterior styling is funky but interesting in some details..
  6. Chalk that up to the piss poor build quality of the '97 to '03 F-Series trucks where everything feels like its made out of paper mache glued together with old dog turds. The interior plastics certainly felt emaciated. "Chintzy" would be one way to put it, "cheap" would be another. I'm going to say to hell with politeness and mildness and say "$h!ty." The Taurus-look pickups were also notorious for their weak structures--poor crash test results and collapsible roof..inside, they went from cheap plastics and rounded on that era to blocky and cheap for the '04-09 and '10-14 generations... This new truck looks too much like the '10-14 with a Super Duty style nose tacked on, it doesn't really go anywhere new stylistically..same old boring ugly blocky truck. GM and Ram have much better styling, IMO.
  7. I wonder if there is anything there 'there' if this is just another smoke and mirrors con job like Carbon Motors was. It doesn't make sense to have '67-68 Mustang styling and a Chevy engine. And the name 'BASS' is pretty weak...
  8. Hmmm..is that Brenda Priddy? Saw a dark red '46-48 Ford coupe street rod and a very clean white '72 Eldorado convertible (top down) in traffic tonight.
  9. Which could look like this....similar cues to the 200 with a 300 like large grille..http://www.cheersandgears.com/gallery/album/766-2015-hyundai-genesis/
  10. Happy Birthday, dude!
  11. Woo hoo...this afternoon. About 12 1/2 years to get here..what an adventure it has been.
  12. The greenhouse reminds me of the new Genesis, the Fusion, A7, and esp. the Avalon..the rear has touches of Hyundai and Audi (taillights). It's a pleasant enough design, but it's very derivative of other cars and has no family resemblance to the 300.
  13. The current F150 is known for it's cheap and nasty interior, this looks a bit better. The exterior is just the same old F150 theme they have had since 2004 with an ugly '08+ style Super Duty front end.
  14. They have the Sequoia also in the full size SUV niche. The Land Cruiser is still around for tradition and for the basis of the Lexus LX I presume. Outside the US the Land Cruiser has the reputation and go-anywhere rugged image of Land Rover, at least the older ones did.
  15. And the F150 has had that detail for 10 years now.. the Super Duty has had it for 15 years.
  16. Very clean and minimalist...nice.
  17. The exterior looks like a blend of the tired cliches of the current truck and the hideous Super Duty (the front end). But it is impressive to hear they've taken 700lbs out...pickups have been so obese for so long..
  18. Really a sharp truck..looks much more substantial and higher quality than the current Canyon..
  19. Doesn't make sense that the engine can't idle on all cylinders w/o catching fire..sounds like some other issue.
  20. Saw a triple beige '79-80 Lincoln Versailles in clean shape at the grocery...haven't seen one of those in years.
  21. One of the articles I read said the floorplan was being reshaped to fit the 8 spd. Hopefully the interior will be updated also.
  22. And Coinye West.. $h!coin and variations have gotten a lot of press the last couple of years, but I'm skeptical of any 'currency' that isn't backed by (guns). fixed that last part.
  23. Looks weird underneath..like the inside tire is too close to that strange leafspring stack..
