GRMN is a side company loosely affiliated with Toyota. It's not really going to be produced.

He said whenever it's in neutral and your foot is off the brake it puts itself in park.

But, Kevin showed where the over ride is.

I was referring back to his first comment on the car.

Detailing a Charger today.  Was shuffling cars around the driveway...apparently if the door is open, the transmission automatically goes back into park. 

Either way, it is good that they have an override.

The car I'm speaking of isn't the GRMN.

Oh wait, I thought it was a GRMN concept, but it's not.


Anyways, I don't think it'll get made

I believe it was for Fiat Chrysler products.  I believe the feature was already used by other makes using the same transmission (BMW, maybe?).

Yeah, he was killed by a Jeep.

Yeah I think BMW has a shifter like this.  Or audi.  Or both.  It sucks.  If you have to put instructions on the screen about how to use the shifter, shouldn't you try a different shifter design?  :shakesfist:



I think my brother's Audi is like that too now.

Did they make any without the body kit but with the rear wing? I think I'd like that the best.

The original LP400 in the mid to late 70s was produced sans wing or fender flares.  The flared fenders and the wing (which was optional at first) were added with the S model in the late 70s.

The rear wing was completely non-functional. The car already got light in the front at speed. It was just screwed on on the trunklid.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

I like them with the older fender (tire) flares and the rear wing.
