On my WRX, the passenger's side window will stop working if I've disconnected (and reconnected) the battery for any amount of time. To restore window operation, I have to do a hard-to-remember dance involving moving the switch up and down repeatedly while turning the key on and off. I don't...

+2 Where everyone is there on someone else's money. My brother calls them "Trustifornians".

That's what I was thinking also. My brother lives in Boulder.... If I lived in VA I'd buy this thing and send it out to CO for my brother to flip.

Sounds like every Walgreens near me. "Excuse me, can you tell me where the eye drops are?" "Aisle 10, between the shoelaces and the bug killer."

I believe it. I personally calculated 63 MPG in our '83.... This was in the days of the 55 MPH speed limit and there was NO WAY Dad was going to exceed that, not with mom watching him like a hawk. There would be no speeding in her car!

My parents had an '83, which I learned to drive manual on. It spoiled me since the clutch was so light and the shifts were so precise. Probably one of the easiest manuals I've ever driven. But yeah, by 80-90K miles the engine was toast.

Air cooled, eh? I did not know that. Were they four-stroke?

You're raking it in compared to me! LOL I have 59 subscribers and have yet to see a penny.

Or the owner. Need to sidestep the service department entirely.

The OP did buy two vehicles there, if I'm understanding his post correctly. The second one was just six months ago.

I remember reading the Consumer Reports article about the Yugo. It was quite hostile! One detail I remembered from the article was the way the hot/cold lever on the HVAC panel had a spring attached behind it and the spring was so tight it tended to pull the lever back in the opposite direction...

The favor would have come from Nissan, not the dealer.

And every list needs to have the same three vehicles on it: Corolla, Camry and Crown Vic. Well, four if you include the Grand Marquis. Doesn't matter what criteria we're looking for either; cheap commuter cars, sports cars, cargo-hauling cars, family vacation trucksters, kids' first car...

C4 or C5 Corvette.... C5s probably haven't reached bargain-basement prices yet but the C4 probably already has, and desirable models are starting to go up in price.

That's the irony. OJ and his team of lawyers paid big money to Barry Scheck and the other DNA expert to basically throw DNA science under the bus as unreliable and suspect. Sort of like paying Neil Armstrong to testify that the moon landing was faked.
