Okay, obviously it’s a signal, but off of what? Which of you is a Bad Enough Dude to know what I ordered this for? Edit: and the answer is, a Renault Alliance.

Nope. A little more recent.

I want to say it’s a Lexus, for some reason.

It is not quite in that fanciness bracket.

This part may or may not have been relatively new when Bad Dudes came out.

truck........ ford?

Interestingly, neither truck nor Ford. A little more offbeat than that.

Meaning that you just trawled through a whole host of posts, or was there a legible number?

i trawled through about a TON of posts........ it was not what i expected......

It’s not the usual, certainly. It’s relatively distinct, though - fewer vehicles than you’d think have a perfectly rectangular *wide* signal that’s all plastic and amber.

Feels VW. Like a squareback or a notchback or .. a Thing?

and now that these cars have gotten a good bit older, they have some nice character compared to current crop of new cars. yours got some downright good estimated mileage numbers back on the advertisements that i looked at..... 52 highway, and 37 regular. any reportable numbers on what you been pulling out of it?

It is not VW, but “Cheap and foreign” is the basis of a good guess.

It’s Russian?

I don’t own it, bought it for a buddy who’s a broke college student and owns it - but what he’s been seeing is pretty okay, if I’m not mistaken. His is a 1.7 and not a 1.4, so it might be a micron more thirsty.

Have I mentioned that to the best of my knowledge, it was the lightest 4-door ever made in the US?

Or perhaps, from a Slavic country?

It is not Russian or slavic, and was a “normal” car back when it was new, in that one didn’t have to go to a specialty importer. So, not a Yugo, even though that’s not far from the truth in a way.

there was some downright lightweight cars made, like the beetle, and the falcon(2 door post), that were right at 1900/1950 lbs as left the lot. but that car ought to save that guy a good bit for just a transportation car.

when my truck got wadded up, i had to hunt down a replacement set of wheels, and i got one with a 1.5l manual...... the SAVINGS from the DIFFERENCE in mileage has been funding my fun projects.

When I was two-jobbing, I was using a lot more fuel than “normal”, just with the extra commute time but yeah, also because driving the Galaxie only... I don’t know, though, just how much of my fuel “use” was due to the fuel tank leak I just stuck epoxy on. “Drip, drip, drip”.

I would for the sheer perversity and I’ve kind of had the chance, but it actually belongs to a friend, who bought it from another friend, who bought it from my dad, who had it for a couple of weeks, who took it in trade/on credit for something (I think?) from the brother of a mentor of a friend.

That entire sentence is an accurate summing up.
