GM Slammed In Latest Reliability Survey | Fuel Injection/Nozzle

Good point, so I better amend it to mean the introduction of 4-whl ABS. After driving a 1972 Mark IV with ABS, I really wasn’t impressed with performance (well-maintained example), not to mention the computer processer took up a huge chunk of the passenger side of the dash (they shrunk it down in the late-70s)

Again, you have to know how to brake and “pumping”, as I did it, worked, even if I didn’t stop quite as soon as I wanted.

(One wonders if the carbon-fiber cargo bed is also a test bed for larger production goals—as another journalist pointed out to me, Ford quietly made the hood of the F-150 from aluminum for years before copping to it, at which point they had just rolled out an entire truck made out of the stuff; whether CarbonPro presages a full carbon-fiber-framed truck—somehow, some way—is an interesting question.)

(4) Kawasaki KX450. The KX450 shares the basic Showa forks with Honda and Suzuki, but it is a much plusher fork than the other two. The spring rates on all three are 5.0 N/m, but the KX450 feels suppler because the fork oil height is lower. The KX450 forks are forgiving over small bumps but way too soft in the big stuff. The compression and rebound can help, but they are not a cure-all, as the soft forks make the balance of the bike feel off. Our simplest fix was to run one stock 5.0 N/m spring with one optional 5.2 N/m spring to make a hybrid 5.1 N/m spring that helped the forks ride higher in the stroke and balance out the chassis. There was still a bit of harshness in the middle of the stroke that we couldn’t iron out. 

Every once in a while, i buy a car or two at a local auction, fix it up and resell it for a few dollars. At the last auction i went to, there was a former taxi 2007 Prius with 589,000 miles on it. I always wonder how many batteries it went through; and I sure would like to know the overall cost of maintaining the car over 11 years.(just out of curiosity)

In the last year, Darwin has claimed several non-seat belt wearers in our county, two of them cops. People have no working knowledge of physics.

I’ve already had two TPMS valve/sensor units on the same set of tires replaced for corrosion-caused leaks and my wife’s car is now showing the same symptoms.

Yeah and I thought about obtaining an aftermarket one, however I’m not keeping it long enough to justify the cost/trouble of installing one. My wife has her first vehicle with a backup camera (purchased Dec 2016) and now hates driving any vehicle without one.

I have been paying property taxes for years to a voracious and financially irresponsible school system yet I have no kids. Life sucks and it’s unfair. What’s your point ? Just using your apple/orange logic.

The retro design of this truck was a hit back in the early 2000s. During this period, vehicles that featured classic designs would automatically succeed. For this reason Chevrolet brought in a retro-styled truck having a sporty feel and retractable hard top. With this design Chevrolet thought the truck would feature as a lifestyle vehicle that most people wanted however, they were more interested in retro vibe and the speed. The performance of this car wasn’t that amazing, but could sprint to 60 mph in six seconds. Despite having relatively slow speed, the truck’s design, big wheel and unique silhouette made it peculiar and people loved it. However, the truck has a price tag of $45,000 making it unaffordable. This isn’t a real truck either – it can’t haul big loads since the cabin and bed is too small and cramped.
