Well, she hasn't seen it yet, but my guess is she'll call it "too big" and refuse to drive it after trying a 3-point turn here in the yard and discovering there's no back-up camera, no parking sensors and a rear-view mirror only showing a distant sliver of daylight.

According to my own personal snap judgements and prejudices and nothing else, the following are facts... .. The "Sport" part of "Sport Utility Vehicle" - Nope. The "perky bus" handling kills that. "Van" - well, if all of the back seats are out and it's now an open cargo area, maybe yes. If you can put a 4x8' sheet back there, then definitely yes. "Truck" - Body-on-frame? Then yes. Unibody? No. I'd go with "UTVV" - "Utility Truck Van Vehicle"

Yep, it's a true sports car - you're NOT supposed to be drinking in it. Both eyes on the road, both hands on the wheel.
Now, that you have published that you installed a drink holder, your insurance company will find out and your insurance rates will skyrocket - humfrz |

Splash some two stroke gas around in the back so it doesn't smell so diesel-y. ---------------------- I've had an OLFA Craft Knife - L for ages. Click the picture. $3.71 and it's JDM YO! Not a flick knife, but does what it says on the box. Also inherited a Stanley exactly as pictured previously. Not broke yet.

It's on its way back together. The valve lash was unbelievably sloppy on one of the intake valves. I knew that my mom spent a few thousand dollars on work a few years ago but she didn't know the details. I can see that the heads had been pulled and had noted the absence of a cold-engine piston slap that I had mentioned to my parents years earlier.
Armed with those observations I decided to stop at valve adjustment. Everything else looks clean. Yeah, it's adorable.
