Supposedly the car that saved Chrysler, K-car and its many derivatives,
including the Caravan.

In 1981, the US FWDs were the Escort/Lynx, Omni/Horizon,
Citation/Omega/Skylark/Phoenix, and Eldorado/Toronado. And, since gas hit
$1/gallon around 1980/81, the K cars were more popular with frugal drivers
than Grenadas and Malibus.

Dan's Horizons had 1.7L VW engines. I believe the K-Car's 2.2L became an
option in 1982, standard feature in 1987. Shortly before the Omni/Horizon
became 2.2L only, they dropped the 1.7L VW for a 1.6L Peugeot. I'd bet
Peugeot engined Plymouths are uber rare these days, probably easier to
find a US titled Pontiac Firefly than a 1.6L Horizon.

Mitch.

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Yes, although there was front wheel drive with Chrysler before the K car. My 
Mom and Dad both had “Horizon” models in the early 80s that were FWD. Mom’s was 
a four door sedan, Dad’s was a two door “TC3” which was their “sporty” model.

 In high school my physics lab partner bought a K-car. His was red with a black 
vinyl interior, not a bad looking color combo but I'd guess it would be hot in 
the summer although his didn't make it to summer.He bought it because it had 
been repainted and "has no rust!" but pretty much everything else went wrong. 
Broke a timing belt, blew the transmission, had a wheel bearing fail so 
spectacularly the wheel fell off.I don't remember what he replaced it with but 
it wasn't a K-car.
Fun fact, he's now a police officer in Waterville, Maine and made an appearance

Re: [MBZ] Here's One For You, Andrew

What's not to love?  Read these BAT comments:

"I certainly hope this goes for more than $4,900; excuse me, $4,901 this
time around. @CaptainMyCaptain
, your comments are
always fun to read, and this one especially so. I’m not in the market for a
new; er different, car at the present time, and the Aries K was never on my
radar; but for heaven’s sake, if anyone has priced a used car of any age
these days, how could you possibly not consider this one?

It’s simple, not a lot of gadgets to break, roomy enough for the whole
family and even a couple small pets for that Sunday afternoon cruise to the
beach for sun and fun, and is a champ when it comes to fuel consumption!
What more could you ask for?"

"Ever since I saw this last time on BAT I have been thinking how the K-Car
and this one in particular symbolize a moment in the early 1980’s: brave
new thinking and a public eager to embrace it. Cars that were exciting and
different. It’s easy to scoff at their performance or their looks or their
size. But realize this was a watershed moment in American car design. I
love this little car. GLWTA"

Because the 'normally worn out' drivetrain is more of a detriment than the
front bumper damage?

Re: [MBZ] Bosch dishwasher

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

About ten years ago I bought the cheapest dishwasher they had at lowers.  About 
$200?  KitchenAid, all plastic.  Dirt simple.  Works great as long as you don't 
over load it.  No issues once I worked through a bad pump and a dead control 
board.  It was a factory repaired model that I bought for $100 with no 
warranty, after buying the parts to fix it I was back at the original cost, 
should have just bought the new one.

A double dish drawer?
Those can be problematic, especially when some fool puts stuff in them
that's too tall and prevents the internal lid from sealing.
I bought one with an error code for a leak, the other drawer was supposed
to work fine.

Then I bought a parts washer that was missing the front sheet metal.
I later learned the one that was 'missing parts' was really a model that
was made for custom install, your cabinetmaker is supposed to build a
front for it to match your cabinets. So the whole dishwasher project is on
hold until I get around to redoing the base cabinets, until then I've got
the Mitch washer. It's not that big of a deal now that there's just one of
me.
I do a sinkful of dishes every night, put them in a drainer, and they're
dry by breakfast.

 Sounds similar to the Raymond & Raymond system we have. I'd say our units are 
half reliable but since there are two it works out.
