Mike Smith was really channeling Ronnie Hextall there earlier with his stickwork. I'm still waiting for someone to go into full on Billy Smith mode and start punching skaters.

I've been wondering about that, out of their top-10 scoring skaters only 3 are Canadians and the top-2 (Cole, Paccioretty) are Americans. Not that you can afford to be picky because of backgrounds in todays professional sports and NHL doesn't operate like traditional European sports clubs where you can play for the same organization all the way from juniors to major league.

I really hated that era when everyone decided that they should have black uniforms. Now there's a little bit of color again, but nothing really bright. I liked the Kings playing a few games in the original purple and yellow colors like the Lakers.

I think the whole nose piece comes off on these to make the engine removal "easier". Seeing that made me realize that they're meant to be serviced like air-cooled bugs.

Picknpull.com... When you do an inventory check for a specific yard you have to specify make and model. I always check the inventory before making the 25 mile drive to the other side of the city. They don't give you any other specifics, sorry.

With all these engine out procedures, I'm starting to think that VAG has some kind of fixation to the orginal Type I and how easy it was to remove the engine from those.

They only changed the name to have uniforming naming convention across the lineup as they were gearing up for the S80 launch. Quite annoying really, because now I have to do separate searches for 960/S90/V90 on the Pick and Pull website ( I'd love a set of better seats, and these bolt straight in to a 760).

Sturdy partition, hell yeah! This vehicle is ready for the zombie apocalypse.

EDIT: and what is up with that license plate??? I thought that was an Alaska plate at first.
EDIT mk2.: Reading comprehension fail.

You beat me to it! Combining Nissan Cherry comfort and styling with Alfa Romeo reliability and depreciation, what a winning combination.

I see Mexican vehicles almost daily, and another one of these "Chevroletized" vehicles is the Corsa formerly known as Opel. They did give it a nicer badge than the "Oldsmolet".

At some point in the late 90's someone at GM decided that all of their USDM vehicles officially sold in Europe should be branded "Chevrolet". The laziest attempt at this was the Chevrolet Alero:



Notice the "somewhat hastily" applied emblem. The interior was more confusing as they didn't want to spend the extra redesigning the steering wheel, so it still has the Oldsmobile logo on it. Not that many people noticed because the only vehicle it was competitively priced with was the Chrysler Stratus (no, not a typo) and that cost twice as much as the cheapest Opel Vectra.
