Does it have the option of shutting it down as well? (I would guess so if you’re inside on a severe snowy day and decided against a trip after warming the vehicle up). But I don’t know.

What’s worse than the tinfoil nut-job conspiracy ping list is if you become one of those “Bible prophecy” people.

They’re the worst!

LoL.

Although I met a couple of people back in the eighties who were conservative Christians and they told me that there would be persecution of Christians worldwide in the next 30 years. I thought they were certifiable.

They also predicted that Christianity was on the wane.

So I pay more attention to the nutjob prophecy people now. lol

Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.

Yes, but having it be a world wide phenomena with Islam displacing Christianity in the Western World is certainly a novelty I didn’t entertain. LOL

I was warning people about islam before 9/11 but didn’t expect a major event like what happened.

I was witnessing what the terrorist Yasser Arafat and friends were doing to Israel.

Figures, that makes sense.

As I mentioned earlier, somehow I ran across a commercial where the cops are chasing somebody in a vehicle an OnStar(I believe) shuts the vehicle down, ending the chase.

How very 1984.

They really need to bring back those cheap little Toyota pickups from the 80s.

There was a time when that Toyota pickup was very popular as I recall. That's why they had one in "Back to the Future". Note the license plate.

Hubby had one, cheapest stripped down model with a radio as the only perk. He drove it for years until a deer took it out. Got back more in insurance than he paid for it.

My mom had a’62. Copper colored. Flathead six and a 3 speed. I have very fond memories of that car.

I had a 2002 Chevy Suburban - I “think” it has the same engine? Went 330K miles and the transmission finally died. Best vehicle I ever owned :-)

I have a 1973 Dodge 413. It quit on me and I blamed it on the ethanol, but I thought it was a fuel system thing. Now that it might be valve seats I may as well not bother trying to get it going again.
A friend of my son wants the engine. I told him he could have it.

My 04 has a 350 V8. 132K miles. “Low mileage” at about 9K miles per year :)

Every time I drive it I check to see if the wheels have fallen off. Maybe some day...

More likely a 5.3l not a 5.7(350). Good engine until they put the variable valve stuff in them.
