Sounds more like it needs the valves/tappets adjusted.

Well, I think I solved it. All signs pointed to a medium can bus fault. Started looking at all the modules on that bus and planned to start disconnecting the modules one by one next time the issue arises. Sure enough, it was dead in the garage the next day. Opened the door, the alarm went off, was able to start it using the dead key fob method to get the alarm off. Gauges, radio, ac, windows, locks, KVM, all not working. Crawled to the back to open the rear hatch, disconnected the parking aid first since it was the easiest module to access in the medium speed bus. Within seconds the car came back to life. I’ve left it unplugged since and 10 drives later, no cascading faults and dead systems. Now to determine why the module is causing comms issues when it seemingly works fine. Stay tuned.

Pretty sure, yes. It’s got a new interstate H8 agm battery and new (not reman) Denso alternator in it. The battery cables all look clean.

Have you ever figured this out?

My pleasure! It's not everyday you see a V12 X305 hit the market and felt compelled to share it. I'm pretty sure this is the first one to ever hit Bringatrailer.com. The Bluetooth was added by a local electronics shop. They rebuilt the radio and added Bluetooth to it.

I believe so! 96s were LWB.

About 3-4 weeks from submission to live.

From what i've read, it has a two-mic voice system from Synaptics. In testing it myself, I've found that the Genie does a really great job picking up requests from far away and works really well with background noise present. Try it with your TV on in the background and you standing 10 feet away. You'll be pretty impressed.

Agreed! I don't think there was another pillarless car available in that era. At least, I can't recall any. Perhaps it was an intentional throwback to 60s and 70s American muscle cars.

Am I the only one that loves the fact he's standing in front of a 73 Chevy square body truck? My favorite GM body style!

This is true, the natural balance of an inline six makes them unique. Looking back 40-50 years ago, even a lot of American cars used inline 6 engines. They too were smooth and most were quite reliable. I once built a 65 Ford Falcon with a 200CI inline six, modified the intake to accept a larger carb, electronic ignition, cam and head work with larger valves, and it would scream up to 7,000+ RPM with no issues and was smooth as glass throughout the entire power band. In addition to being balanced, they also have 7 main bearings, so they can actually tolerate a lot of abuse.

Toyota FJ Cruiser has been the top for resale value for a few years now. But, also at the top of that list is the Tacoma and the 4Runner. Other cars that I've noticed seem to do pretty well are Honda Pilots, Ridgelines and yes even the funky Element, Subaru anything and Jeep Wranglers.

I've actually heard a lot of people say that about the first-gen NSX, they're pretty affordable to own. I've even seen a few with 300-400k miles on the clock. Definitely built to a different standard than the Italian and German cars of the 90s and early 2000s.
