    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Slate Truck

Those old VW Rabbit Diesel pickups where a bit of a "cult car" amongst the Northern Michigan hippies, luckily the Subaru AWD station wagon came along to replace it.
 
The Yugo...
A guy in town had a "tricked out" Yugo with every gadget available...
When you got near the car it would say "Stand away from the vehicle, Stand away from the vehicle"...

For kicks, about four of us could pick up the rear end of the car and move it sideways in the parking spot.
Oh, to be a teenager again. :)

My cousin went through a yugo kick about 20 years ago, one time he had four of them.
One was painted like the Starsky and Hutch torino. At first he got into them because he found a cheap one and then one parts car, than another.

He had the most problems with the starsky and Hutch yugo , it was his favorite because it had a nice paint job and was in the best condition visually, but he had problems with the computer.

He took it to a shop and they did a bunch of work to it, they put in a refurbished computer?

Month later it was acting up just like before, he swapped the computer for the one in the white parts yugo, it ran fine for a month and started acting up, so he put the refurbished computer ? Ecm ? back in and it ran fine for a month.

So he just keeper one extra computer ecm, whatever it was in the car and just swapped them over as needed.

Crazy, he got rid of all of them and went on a Ford ranger pickup kick, he had about four of them as well.

I was looking at these the other day. I don't see why it wouldn't work. The trick is they need to trendy as well as cheap.... I suspect a lot of kids (and me) would rather drive one of these than a Chevy Bolt... ;)

The Maverick has been incredibly popular... I don't see why this wouldn't fly if they get it right. https://www.ford.com/trucks/maverick/2025/

Rather than worry about the plastic panels I see it as an opportunity for someone like RTECH to come in (they do replacement kits for the Tenere and others) and offer aftermarket panels....
