..continued seatbacks and where a kit of some sort is fitted in the back of the trunk.
Is it an "American" type of air suspension (e.i: soft and wallowy)?
I remember reading somewhere about damaging the trunk by forcing it down instead of using the latch/button. Is that the only way to operate it or is there some type of bypass valve or somesuch?
Given an well maintained hydraulic system, how long would you be able to operate the windows, etc. and would they work with the key off? Thanks!!
Hello. The car is very quiet at all speeds. The air suspension is adjustable from firm to soft. The kit in the trunk is for repairs to the hydraulic system. The interior temperature gauge is accurate, that was 100F. The sensor is usually located behind the front bumper/fender. The trunk lid can only be opened/closed using the hydraulics. If the hydraulic trunk lock malfunctions you must shut off the car and operate all the windows and seats until nothing works, then the trunk will open manually.
Great stuff...

Damn I love your car. I have some questions though as other than seeing one in pictures or movies I've never seen one in person.
How quiet is it really? In one of the other Death Valley videos, you apparently have the windows open yet the conversation comes through clear.
Interior thermometer. Where does it read from and is it accurate in you video?
Is there wasted space between the rear seats and the trunk? In the pictures I've, I can't account for a space behind the ......continues

That's a magnificent car.
I saw one in a junkyard once...it was very depressing. The car had been burned and could not have been salvaged.
