2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
The Explorer looked like it had it’s PDI, though. Still, even there, if I were in the market for an SUV, the Explorer ST would be at the tippy top of that list, too. It drove more like a large sports sedan than it did an SUV. Plus, they are stuffing a lot of tech into them for the price, too.
Would love to hear your impressions of the Stinger GTS if/when you test drive.
As mentioned, when I left the Auto Show last weekend, I came away feeling might good about my Stinger purchase given what I saw from the likes of Audi S5, BMW 4xxi, etc. There was nothing quite like it, that would perform similarly, all loaded up, at anywhere near the price I purchased it for. Plus, only 6 weeks into ownership, every day I’m amazed at the build quality, adaptive suspension, performance, and the high quality of materials used in it.

The Continental was pretty advanced for 79 as it had a digital radio.

I was never able to find a quad 8 track to try it out before I yanked that radio and put in something modern.

I remember looking at a 65 LTD that had a very stock looking 8 track, I guess that's about when they hit the market.

The floorboard area was wide open and these floor-mounted dimmer switches could be made larger and more durable.
The first US-designed autos started following the trend away from the foot-operated dimmer switch in the 1970s, as they decided to emulate the luxury European imports who were starting to put the dimmer switch on the stalk. However, the transition from the the cheap floor switch to the more expensive multi-function stalk switch usually had to wait until a major re-design of that vehicle so that a coordinated change could be made. Ultimately, the dimmer switch function would go to the stalk when a model went from rear wheel drive to front wheel drive (which happened a lot in the late 1970s and early 1980s) because the foot-well area became smaller and more cramped.

So, 4 distinct channels on the narrow tape in those old cassettes? That had to sound relatively bad!
TAMPA, Fla. - In the past two weeks, five thieves have been caught siphoning large amounts of gas from Bay Area stations using stolen accounts, bogus credit cards, and hidden tanks.
Investigators say it’s a crime hidden in plain sight and a trend that could be part of a bigger fuel-theft ring
Thieves pump gas into concealed bladder tanks, inside their vehicles, then pay the expensive bill with bogus credit cards.
In Hillsborough County, someone has been locked up for fuel fraud every day this week.
Police say these trucks can explode if they are in an accident....they are full of gas or diesel fuel.
Why do these things happen so often down here?

Oregon has a silly Court decision making silly circular arguments that all stem from calling criminal traffic infractions "civil matters." That lowers the bar from due process and "innocent until proven guilty" to pretty much anything goes and the legislature can write laws to support other laws.
So there is a law that says the Defendant must PROVE they were not the driver if they are the owner.
Therefore it is not a presumption on the part of the State that they were, in fact, the driver. It is presumed.
Can you imagine an anti-gun State passing a law stating the owner of a pistol is PRESUMED to be the shooter unless you PROVE otherwise? This might be the best anti-gun lobby idea ever!
Very circular! I'm never moving into Oregon. The Court's argument wouldn't fly in California, for we have:
http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=PEN§ionNum=19.7
Except as otherwise provided by law, all provisions of law relating to misdemeanors shall apply to infractions including, but not limited to, powers of peace officers, jurisdiction of courts, periods for commencing action and for bringing a case to trial and burden of proof.
Notice they included explicitly, "burden of proof." Traffic Courts are already rigged enough, yet the States want to rig it even more!
In it's day, I'm sure it was. By the time I got it, no. It was a winter beater.
Looked just like this one (plus rust):

The answer to what the slot was so easy I didn't bother with it.
Went with the car instead.
Maybe it was a challenge for you?

but I KNOW the 1950 Studebaker I drove in my tender years had the starter switch on the floor.
Indeed, it was depressed in that case by pushing the clutch.
I believe that other vehicles such as pickup trucks and farm trucks I drove in fields and sometimes to elevators to dump and sell the grain had their starter button on the floor. But other vehicles had the modern style of the push button on the dash--next to the manual choke? LOL

I did much of it, but it doesn't matter a whit, especially these days.
Ask Fintail -- he'll tell you all about it.
When I put the clutch down"
I guess it was more of a real thing then.
I wonder if those plates around the pedals are later reinforcements due to deterioration of the original floor. The good old days were good in some ways and great for some people, but not good in every way.
sure it was designed that way for safety so someone didn't accidentally activate just doing a
normal clutch operation for gear change.

It was the perfect battle cruiser for that commute. I've probably told the story before, but I was stopped in traffic and a first generation Altima was reaching down for something and really ...no REALLY slammed into the back of me.
Altima was creamed. Fluids everywhere, both bags blown, windshield broken, even one of the tires was popped. The old Lincoln was not even marked! The guy was in complete dis-belief!

@snakeweasel,
I guess you will have to bring a portable tank to fill up with fuel for your bike, then just fill it up yourself from that tank.

plus you need someone to run around fixing all the screw ups and resetting the self checks. Better just have them running the register instead.
