You don't leave that big box right there on the console do you ?

Uhhh, burn that book. Remove the wing, change the wheels and you'd have a nice car.

I really enjoyed his work. He was a great actor that made it look easy. You'd see him in a role and believe that he was the guy instead of acting like he was the guy. A stark difference from Jesse Jackson, a criminal grifter whose actions only enriched himself.

My cars all run on it. The computer controlled stuff has no problem.

It is my understanding that January 1st 1976 was a deadline where all American built cars had to have front disc brakes.

Balance that with having to make two different drums, axle flanges and different wheels and your "dollar per car" saved is lost 3X. The molds, the dies, the labor to train on multiple different parts is just wasted money. Parts could have been commonized to save a lot of money. For example, GM...

Ford had at least one model of car with the horn in the turn signal stalk.
