I hope one of musk's dumb retro futurist rockets lands on your backwoods shack the day you move in. :mad:

yeah, they don't seem very practical; just cool looking (probably add a small bit of aerodynamic efficiency, but I suspect it's not enough to outweigh the downsides or more cars would have them)

They legit do make an MPG difference, especially on the highway. They're a pain in the butt but they're not too terrible to deal with. I just take them off myself when I need the tires worked on and use manual car washes.

so this one doesn't look to even have removable covers so basically if the rear tire needs changing you would need to jack the rear end up the place a jack stand under the body and lower the jack to let the axle drop down enough to barely wiggle the tire out at like a 40 degree angle. if the front tire needs changing then you'll prtobably have to disconnect the body mount and jack the body up enough to get the tire out...lotsa cursing and spitting as well.

that's the first prototype saab, they ditched the wheel covers by the time they released the first production version
 
Anybody else remember the mini wheel spats on early 90s Caprices?

I can remember the first time I saw a cop car in this format. Maybe about 1991?
 
Those look great. Someone here bought one of the green P90 Revstars not too long ago but I've forgotten who it was.

Apparently they did at one point...
Did Yamaha make lawn mowers?


Japanese manufacturer Yamaha built lawn tractor and lawn mowers in the late 1980s. Founded in 1955, Yamaha has a long history with small engines in a variety of power sports applications. Yamaha began building lawn tractors in 1988 to extend its line of outdoor power equipment.

We had a ride on Honda mower - it was fantastic. At some point they stopped allowing them to be available in Canada...maybe that was a North America wide exclusion.
