Re: hoses in GTV6 fender?

[James Montebello <jamesm@domain.elided>]

Those are the hoses for the evap canister, which lives behind a plate
in the right-side fenderwheel.  If you ever wondered what that odd bulge
is in the passenger footwell, that's it.  Your car won't explode without
them, but it would fail a smog test in many states.

Interesting, no GTV6s on Ebay for some time, now two at once over $5000...
