how long before Asimo type robots are the driver? by
pws
Actually it would just be an on-board computer. No need to take up a seat.
I am guessing that the name "Asimo" is a tribute to Isaac Asimov.

Permanant plug wires? by
miker
Ok, who superglued in the wires? Or is there some kind of trick to it? All I
know is, I pulled for all I'm worth and the distributor end ain't coming out
for nothin.
This isn't all bad... if I ever need to hoist the engine out I'm sure these
will take the strain just fine.
Is there a replaceable...

what kind of car was this? (NMC) by

I also noticed that it was white, where there is still sheet metal left.

photon effect versus the fact that the roof...

Texas idiots on ice (NMC) by

What is that cold, shiny stuff on the road, mamma? It shore looks slippery.
"No worry, son, we have a 4WD, 5000 pound vehicle with terrible handling
and tires that were never intended for weather this cold, but the fact
that it is 4WD will make up for that. After all, 4 wheels spinning out

Leon van Dommelen:
But I agree that it would be nice if manufacturers were required to
report actual, rear wheel horsepower instead of some technical,
immeasurable number.
By tradition and currently for comparisons on a fair basis, Shaft
power from the engine is measured on an engine dyno to SAE...

Paint Touch up by
BCRandy
I recently repaired and repainted the bumpers on my father
in law's '93 Toyota wagon. I have been spraying furniture
for years with good results, so he didn't mind me
experimenting.
I have a Strato Blue 02 SE that has picked up a few stone
chips and 2-3 small scratches. The chips go down to...

I own a 1996 626, V6 automatic Mazda. Recently had it in to the dealer
because the gear shift would not disengage without using the key lock,
even when pressing the brake pedal. Dealership replaced the shift

MB rear marker lights by
Jimmy
Does anyone know if the wireing harness in a NB model have the rear
marker light connection? Or do I have to splice in the side light
connectors myself?
I would think that you could use the front socket and connector pigtails.
Anyone??????
