That should be his election challenger’s entire advertisement.

Right?

Someone would likely be down to swap hoods, if that were the only hangup. The factory scooped hoods were a hot commodity on older 4Runners and I’m sure there are still people out there doing it with current offerings. You’d likely end up with a bit of extra cash on top, too.

Dear vehicle manufacturers:

Looks like a VW platform based Fiberfab Avenger.

Peak comedy. I replied to your specific request with the exact information you failed to notice in the article. Markoff didn’t conjure the term, it was a direct fucking quote.

I’ve done the cross-continent drive in a nice little E39 series BMW sedan, but I’d love to be able to simply wander around without constraint of time or responsibility (also, fuel costs) in something utterly mellow, yet charming.

I’d be curious too, but there are a few ways things can go sideways.

Autoblog was a good blog about autos.

Aw jeez, sad to see Autoblog turn into yet another VC zombie site.”

This is what the wrap actually looks like, in case anyone else was curious.

I respect your dedication to the bit.

I love these (and in particular, the 190E 2.3-16 / Evo), but E39 M5 still wins if I had to choose just one.

Correct.

These have a transfer case that can be placed in neutral (as well as a manual transmission that can be placed in neutral). Small, light, capable and with accommodating mechanicals. They make great tow cars.

The Daily Show also had an entertaining piece about this whole little ecosystem:

At this point, I don’t think anyone is clicking links on Jalopnik. The vast majority of the time they have nothing to do with the article or sentence they’re embedded in.

I unironically love the 1st/2nd gen Gumpert Apollos; they look like upsized slot cars and go like it, too. Also, they sound amazing.

That would go well with the copper paneled Rolls at the Reno museum.
