This happens rather regularly in the USA. As in daily at collision center. I’m an insurance adjuster, replacing a quarter panel (ITS NOT CALLED A REAR FENDER!!!) along with the lock pillar (C-pillar on sedans) is a fairly straightforward process on many cars and every OEM has a sectioning guideline available to shops…

Pickup truck!

I’m still holding out for my Elio.

I have never wanted something I knew would never exist to havae so badly in all my life. You fuckin’ MONSTER.

What the actual fuck? I mean... I have to go through the hassle of negotiating just to find out whether or not I actually like the car?

1) then offer a competitive price

counterpoint: I’m not going to talk numbers before I even know if I like the car.

“There’s nothing due today; we’ll bill you after we get together with your insurance company and figure out how much we can get away with charging you without it being considered fraud.”

Now I just need a bucket large enough to submerge my entire car.

This was my comment on your previous post regarding this monstrosity:

He was too busy watching the road to pay attention to the speedo?

1. It’s the bumper cover.

Usable beds were sacrificed long ago for bigger back seats and higher belt lines. The modern truck bed is a short box that only exists to provide bulk and can’t be reached without deploying a hidden staircase.

I say this as a dyed-in-the-wool environmentalist: at some point, we need to get people who don’t give a shit about the environment to also buy EVs. We need to get everyone (or at least most people) driving vehicles that aren’t powered by fossil fuels if we are to have a hope of preserving at least some of the Earth’s…

The purpose of this vehicle is to be seen with it.

It sounds like it had the same “SmartTrak” AWD system that was in the Bravada. Those were the only S-series based vehicles that had a full time AWD system.

100% agree. We went through a few dozen of the things for delivery vehicles over the course of about 20 years. The only thing that would kill them was accidents or eventually the rust got so extensive we retired them because they simply looked bad. Our mileage champ went 535,000 without ever having the head off.

The “torque monster” diesel has the same peak torque as the 4.3, Just saying.

GM must have done something right. Still see plenty of these on the road locally. 

I thought (at least some of) the LLVs did say “Grumman” on the side.
