Agreed...BMW cup holders do suck... one area the Germans have been very weak in is cup holder technology... I don't want a lame clip on cup holder or folding ones...give me proper fixed cupholders in the console (no stupid cover over them either), and if it's a luxury car, make them heated/chilled and lighted... Cup holder design is one of the reasons the Japanese car makers gained so much market share in the US in the '80s/90s, I think..

DeLorean plans afoot to go back into production
Robert Hall replied to douglask's topic in The Lounge
Columbus, Oh was a major distribution center for them, IIRC. As a kid I remember seeing dozens of them lined up in a fenced in parking lot sometime in '82.. -
DeLorean plans afoot to go back into production
Robert Hall replied to douglask's topic in The Lounge
A new updated deLorean would be interesting, but not with 1981 specs....though according to the article, someone has 200 of the original 2.8 V6s.. IIRC, the deLorean was more about looks than performance... -
I can't recall the last time I saw any older Grand Prix...I saw a sharp silver '77 at a local 7-11 recently. It's been years since I recall seeing a '60s model (maybe at a car show).

I don't know...I know Ford made some 4dr Explorers in the '90s with a manual...I had a friend that had one. I'd love to have a Grand Cherokee with a manual...

Avis won't care if it's a 4 or 6 speed...
-
You have to laugh at the idea of a guy that drives an Aztek coming up with a list of 'dorky' vehicles...
-
Back in '02, I think. Then it came back in '05...hasn't gotten cancelled a second time AFAIK..
-
I saw it this afternoon...loved it. Went to the local Kwiki-Mart and had a Squishee also...(one of the 7-11s that were decorated as a promotion)....they have Buzz cola, but no Duff..
-
Actually, it was just leased by HBO.. anyway, this one (or another one just like it) was on ebay previously, maybe 3 years ago or so...
-
Yes, there is a second gen A-class out in Europe...3dr or 5dr. I think that ' A Car for Every Purse and Purpose' is definitely M-B's vision...they have possibly the widest range of vehicles under one brand in the world---cargo vans, airport shuttles, buses, coaches, heavy trucks, small cars, luxury cars, etc...

Wouldn't you need to be licensed by the jurisdiction as a landscaper to do it there?
-
How about the last manual shift Buick?
-
Funny you mention that...I saw a 4dr 2nd gen ('94-?) S Blazer or Jimmy with a stick yesterday.... it was in a parking lot, the passenger door was open and I was about 20 feet away and could clearly see a stick shift on the center console...thought it was odd to see one of those w/ a manual.

Voodoo Chile-- SRV

They sound incredible..the first time I heard one was probably my most memorable Ferrari sighting...a beautiful, sunny spring day in Milan, walking down the street in front of the La Scala opera house...gray F430 drives down the street, that magnificent exhaust note reverberating off ancient stone walls... La Dolce Vita. One of the high points of that vacation...

At lunch today, I saw a black XLR at the office next to mine, a black CTS-v, a dark blue Acadia, a flat purple '90s Dodge Ram, and a goregous white F430 Spyder..
-
Yes, the Eagle is the predecessor of such cars as the Subaru Outback and Volvo XC70... I thought it was neat that they had several bodystyles also--wagon, sedan, coupe, a couple different 2dr hatchbacks.
-
More practical... covered cupholders aren't as useful as open ones...(i.e. it's hard to open a covered/retractable one and insert a beverage container w/ one hand in one motion..)

True 'nuff...you smoke grass...

Love it. Love it. Love it.

A friend of mine has wanted a '69-72 GP since he was a kid... I think he's going to start looking for one in the next year or so, since his 40th birthday is coming up in '09. Interesting, since as far as I know, he's never owned an American car... (he currently has an '02 Maxima SE and a '91 Acura NSX).

I'm listening to my usual news podcasts today at work (3 different BBC programs, CNN, NPR, Rick Steeves travel) and also the new Velvet Revolver CD 'Libertad' and Bryan Ferry's new CD 'Dylanesque'...
-
Great song.. I went and saw the Moodies in January..they are incredible in concert (even though they are all north of 60 now).
-
uhhhh..no. The QP's proportions are purely RWD...
