I was bored and skimming through the owner's manual and found some quotes I
found humorous:
"You can forget about rust-proofing or undercoating processes..."
"Paint is not used, thus eliminating fading or dulling of the finish."
In the event of a failure to the hydraulic doors, to open them: step 1:
"enter the car through the rear hatch"
"The luxurious seats are specially contoured to allow you to drive for
long periods with maximum comfort"
Engine temperature:
"Normal operating temperature will vary between 170F and 242F"
"To operate the heater or air conditioning the engine must be running"
"Anti-Theft steering column lock and ignition switch"
"The 'break-in' period of your car is simplified because of the advanced
engineering
and manufacturing techniques employed"
I think this one is a typo:
"The ethylene glycol coolant, as installed at the factory will protect your
cooling
system down to below 45F"
Caution note when checking the timing:
"Care should be exercised not to contact the fan or belts with the hand,
clothing, or the light
when engine is running"
"The fuses for each circuit are as shown in the illustration with the
exception of the clock fuse
which is located in the spot marked accessory or spare"
"In addition to the many fine features built into your car, you receive at no
added cost, the full benefits
of the Bricklin Service Protection Plan. This unique plan is designed to
provide you with service to your
car when you need it; anywehere in the United States, 24 hours a day, even
when a Bricklin Dealer
is not available in the area to help you"
This one's funny just because the stories tell that this rang in Mom
Bricklin's kitchen.
"If you are in doubt as to where to take your car or what to do, call this
toll free number: 1-800-528-4490,
and a Bricklin Vehicle Corp. representative will answer your call. You can
call anytime 24 hours a day"
