Front grille is different too.The front lip of the bumper?
"'71 Triumph Dolomite 1500" for sale locally advertised in the paper as suffering from light crash damage but sold with spares and is dirt cheap. Sounds like something to check out if it isn't already sold, I'm phoning tomorrow...
Slight issues with it already: no pictures, very little info and the Dolomite 1500 didn't actually exist in 1971... Lets see how this turns out. :lol:
Front grille is different too.
Why are cars getting progressively harder to see out of? Every time I get into a newer generation of car I notice it is really hard to see out/where the damned edges are...
The design timeline has gone something like this:
Gee Bill, good job designing the new Zodiac, but it is a bit tricky to see out of, could you sort that out?
Damn Bill. A massive glass area and styling that makes the edges of the car impossible to miss, is there anything the driver CAN'T see?!
So erm... Bill... When did we ditch the whole "people don't crash as much when they can see out of their car" idea?
Seriously, the blind spots in cars now are HUGE, forget "THINK BIKE", you could miss freaking buses with A pillars so thick. The new DS5 has actually split it in two to give you at least some chance of being able to see the cars, elephants and small continents you'd otherwise miss.
No one wanted the Freestyle or Taurus X because, even though it was a very well executed American answer to the first Honda Odyssey, no one wanted a shape that resembled a wagon.
Not entirely. This ad is what killed sales.
"Buy a Freestyle and your wife will leave you, taking the kids, the car, the dog and all your money."
Yeah, that's a great message for selling a family car.
*Shudders* The infamous "divorce" ad...I agree...that was awful. :lol:
Dear these people, fuck you. Because my car is a convertible there is no pillar and therefor they cannot put it there. Every not convertible car attempts to strangle me with the damn belt as adjusted as low as possible in most cars it is still on my neck.* Higher beltlines make people feel safe: Studies show that people like the cocooned feeling that having the beltline at shoulder level provides. It's subconcious but people love that for some reason, especially if they're downsizing from a large CUV/SUV to a smaller vehicle.

If it is still on your neck, should you not adjust it *up*?
That would create a similar problem for different reasons. Padded things are way too warm.

It's probably fine for normal people, though if these female friend are also in Texas I think we have different definitions of the word warm hereFrom female friends who have them - those are fairly cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It's sheepskin.
