      @WBizarre the NSU TT was also visually similar to the Corvair:

      Built and tested to survive the 12 month warranty period then cheap enough to get another instead of taking the out of warranty risk? Those GM folk were clever...

      Okay, torn between the americans.

      The Aerostar had a better Cd than a fox Mustang and some (rare!) came with a 2.3, so an SVO Aerostar is possible. Drop it using minitruck parts to lower the frontal area, and the later AWD ones had an aluminum driveshaft that was effectively the SVO part for a Fox. Plus I just like that era Ford even if the V6s sucked ass. Super clean box Ranger in brown near me. Same house has an SSR and a Vehicross.

      The Astro is an S10 which means V8 swaps are EZPZ, if you're lame. If you're cool, you know the AWD versions used a Syclone/Typhoon transfer case (slightly different and I can't remember which specific one is shared with the Astro). So slam a turbo on the thing and you have a Monsoon. Even better, swap all that into an early cargo variant, which weighs like 2800lbs or something.

      You have a fair point.
      My threshold for stupid or idiotic people or behaviour has worn thinner.
      The other day I saw a runner, run into traffic, as in head on, to run around a fence (red arrow),
      Castle Way 1 - Copy (2).JPG
      which was put there so people don't cross there. He'd ran past a subway underpass, a pedestrian crossing and a bridge, not only that but the direction he was running, there was another crossing a 100 metres down the road.

      @ash78 Summer really brings out the Wranglers and CJs. Down one stretch of highway today I encountered 8-10 of them between spotting any other Jeep models.

      And yeah, that blue trim is magnifique. Looking forward to replacing my red trim decals with the blue eventually.

      @SmallScaleSydney the Simca 1000 was pretty close, but the gargantuan (comparatively) size of the Corvair meant that I used the Renault 10 to bridge the gap to the smaller Hino.

      GM had a new midsize Bof platform planned for release about now. The next generation Colorado/Canyon, and a midsize GMC SUV were planned. However that platform was cancelled when GM decided to focus on EVs. The next gen Colorado/Canyon are instead staying on a revised version of the current midsize platform.

      @LooseonExit

      The typical course of action for any paint protection application is to deep clean, strip, and then apply your LSP (last step product).

      If you're just topping after a weekly/bi weekly/whatever time frame wash then you don't need to strip, but you should choose products that will perform under those circumstances, that are designed to work with the base protection product. This is extremely important for ceramic coatings, but it still bodes true for regular waxes and sealants.

      For example, if you have a ceramic coating on the car, other ceramic based spray coatings/detailers typically perform better on a coating vs a wax or sealant. This isn't a hard rule, but if you want to get the best results for your time invested, its the best course of action. You also need to pay attention to the performance/attributes of the base product. for exmaple (again) is Sonax Polymer Net Shield. It is an extremely hydrophobic spray sealant, and their accompanying Brilliant Shine Detailer is designed it top it and restore/maintain that same hydrophobic performance. The 2 go hand in hand and make up a good base and topper team so to speak.

      Sometimes mixing and matching and off label use will yield good results, but I've seen it mostly do the opposite, especially when mixing based chemistry components like ceramic with polymer or wax.

      In my experience any mild pure polish followed by a panel wipe/degrease (you can make your own using 99% isopropyl alcohol mix 5:1 with water - 5 parts water, 1 part IPA) will give you a bare base ready to accept any product on top. If you're working with ceramic products, Mothers makes a primer polish called CMX 3 n 1 Polish and coat. It will remove minor swirls and leave behind a base layer that allows ceramic products to bond (I've tested it with various ceramic sprays and high solids ceramic coatings and it worked great).

      @pip-bip these were the ones that were basically a '68 Nova platform with a '70 Camaro front subframe bolted on, the steering column was slightly off-center on the driver's seat because the dimensions didn't quite line up.

      However, they handled surprisingly well with the optional heavy duty suspension package, kind of underappreciated, probably because GM didn't know how to really take advantage of that in their marketing

      @wbizarre Yes! A bigger badonk is like... The biggest different. Maybe losing the Hoffmeister kink, which is kind of fun for a platform allegedly inspired by the E39 BMWs. Good morph. I approve and may share this liberally.

      @skyfire77 That's one thing I love about this film - it looks like the poor guy is going door-to-door trying to sell new Chevrolets to people. Walking door-to-door trying to sell Chevrolets no less! I know he's supposed to be visiting the prospective customers he has already lined up but that's not what it looks like on the screen at first glance. Another great thing is reflecting on how soon all this is about to become largely irrelevant to the target audience given the 1941 production date!

      I'll say this for Jam Handy though, it was the film they made explaining differentials that finally let me really understand and visualize just how they actually work. I've never seen anything else on the subject that does a better job. You just have to sit through (or fast forward through) quite a bit of formation motorcycle riding demonstrations first...

      @akioohtori Yet another misguided attempt to compete with the SL, like all other prior attempts, ended in failure. Lesson not learned from the Allante.

      Normal version was cheaper than a standard SL, but slower and maybe not as posh. Hot version was as fast, but virtually just as expensive.

      @pip-bip You usally see Frank Frazetta art on a van but it works on a 80s vette too apparently.

      @pip-bip It's the Rally edition, with the 60 hp engine instead of the base 52 hp engine. The car is only 2000 pounds, but that's still not much if you are going to try to navigate modern American traffic. That 2000 pound weight also mean no crash structure at all.

      Maybe you get this to take to shows on weekends, but anybody over 50 will look at it and shudder. The Chevette was GM's attempt to prove to Americans how much better the Japanese compact cars were.

      That thing and a coupΓ© have as much in common as does a yacht and a butterfly.

      @pip-bip This is very similar to the Nova project Dave at Omega Auto Clinic has been working on on his YouTube channel, except that one was only sitting 20 years. Obviously, even if it runs, everything made of rubber, plastic, or cork is going to need replacement, because if it isn't leaking now, it will be gushing after a few thousand miles
