There is hill start control on all fiat 500's. You can turn it off in the instrument cluster. It can actually be annoying, if you are quick you can nearly stall because the brakes are still engaged.

This happened to my CR-z the first time I found it had hill assist. I can't disable mine though :saddowns:

I appreciate the fact that he picked an appropriate powerplant to propel the 600lbs of metal+rubber that are those wheels.

What's that stupid sunglasses and fedora-wearing badly-mustachioed 'thing' in the trunk supposed to be? I've seen it somewhere before, but I can't place it.

Lowrider mag logo iirc, that car is anything but which is also frustrating.

No one really gets out of their car in Miami.

I had a dude get out at a red once because I was tailgating him (my fault, bad mood, in a rush) as he was walking back he was yelling and hollerin, but when he got to my window and realized I was a big rear end dude, he shook my hand and got back into his car :respek:

Widebody with skinny wheels, probably a 2 inch spacer on them, altezzas, z3 fenders, an STi wing (literally), and lovely gauges.

I will applaud him for actually painting the widebody though.

I always look out for fellow rover buddies and help when I can. Plus its keeping a classic on the roads.

Theres a portofino red classic locally thats almost pristine for 650 with a shot engine. I might pick it up and bring it back to health.

If any 83-85 Supra P-Types (The ones with the flares) show up, I will offer many dollars and internet lewd acts for notification!

Assuming this is a junkyard, not a rover specific place.

I'll keep an eye out for a P type. I'm in the yards atleast once a week.

Yeah I have buddies that go more frequently than I do, but I'm down in Wilmington (I see you mentioned LA) at both Pick Your Part yards at least once a month checking.

Need anything that you'd like me to return the favor in looking out for?

Huge list of poo poo. "lightstone" knee bolster, glove box, and console from a 99-02 p38. a non-buckled p38 dash would also be great. the plastic thing that flips open with the tailgate. Gen3 ford 21 lb injectors (yellow with a 4 hole spray pattern), I'll likely get a rebuilt set from ebay though.

I'm hunting for GRD boxes for the baja, but that thing is on hold until I move though.

Alright, I've got a note in my phone, also this gives me an excuse to go rummaging through the trucks/suvs which I never do, but can be fun. I assume lightstone is the color?

Ever find anything good at the yard? My buddy scored a $100 costco giftcard a couple trips ago. Also, tools.

I typically score shitloads of tools at the yards, and change. tons and tons of change.

Yeah lightstone is the color, its the cream colored poo poo. if you cant find that, the "walnut" (tan) door cards from the 99-02 models will have parts I need.

Will do.

Aftermarket indicator mirrors, check. Dangling stock indicator, check. Speed "vents", check. Speed lines? Check. Pep-Boys wheels, check.

I don't see anything wrong with the mirrors and the wheels. Am I broken now?

Nothing wrong with them per-se, but adding a mirror with sidemarker in addition to the stock sidemarker is a little much imo.

I love that my hybrid is a manual, however I dislike that the electric motor is a piece of poo poo and can't power the car on it's own, so in that regard I probably would have been better off with a civic. I didn't even get a sweet tax break either :freep:

A friend of mine had some old BMW that if you rev'd it hard then immediately turned it off, it would sit for a good 30-60 seconds then let out the largest most explosive backfire I have ever heard.

It was awesome, rev it, get out, walk away, watch people poo poo their pants.

The same thing happened to my mkii supra, except it was in my parking garage and it got pushed through a wall. Also, my motorcycle was between the supra and the jeep that totaled both vehicles :smithicide:
