Re: to be honest
hmmm, I guess my sources are incorrect. The Pacer it is...
But you have to admit, the Mail Jeep was a pretty good answer off the top of my head. It could be the correct answer depending how you define a driver's side "door".

Re: to be honest
Anyone up for a weekly Automobile Trivia Thread in the General Discussion thread? I think that would fun, and we can all learn some interesting, yet useless, facts...

Re: to be honest
Ok, Here's another one.
In 1988 GM introduced a two seat car that cost more than a corvette, Featured a body that was hand finished off site by Dupont, was then had assembled by teams of two to three men in Stalls instead of an assembly line. It was the last "hand built" car by GM. It was also the first GM car that had standard Remote Keyless entry. Total production was less than 22,000.
I've owned two of them, and they are quite weird to say the least. I love them though.
Yes, I'm 29 and I've owned THAT many cars. I've had 2 cars for every year I've been able to drive. They are like puppies that follow me home. I have to buy them, I know I'm sick. I have an automobile fetish...

Oh and the answer to the SRS air bag and ABS question was posted on the last page.
ABS was on the 1969 Thunderbird, and SRS Air Bags were on the 1975 Olds and Buick.
