So it comes in brown, now they just need a diesel wagon with a third pedal and sales success will be sure to follow. Every video I’ve seen of the new Corvette doesn’t really grab me. I guess my brain wants to hear a motor that screams towards the stratosphere in a mid engine car, and the LT2 just sounds too relaxed. 

The number taught in military history courses are one million American casualties, and likely seven million Japanese casualties. The Japanese weren’t inclined to surrender and become POWs, suicide was much preferred. Prior to the battle of Okinawa the Japanese has put out a lot of propaganda stating that Americans…

I have a couple of friends who moved to NC and love it, one was from New York City, and the other central Nevada. 

Maybe not from GM, although you could find some SS versions, Ford had no qualms about stuffing monster motors into Rancheros.

They don’t need a new 280Z, they need a new 510 that can be had in a coupe, sedan, or wagon to maximize sales over the platform. While the Z cars are cool, they are basically toys. Something you can put a family in is what keeps your bread buttered. 

I’m trying to figure out what is more Nissan, the fact that they did this, or that the CGI looks like it’s from 15 years ago. 

The design is too busy, the 8C does everything better as far as design goes. I guess it is prettier than a second gen Viper though. 

You can pretty easily get F-250s in the $50k range if you don’t feel you need heated, massaging leather seats, and on board datalinks. An F-250 starts at $33,705 according to Fords own websites. 

Well, if you need a small bed and lowish tow rating I can get you their number. Their cheapest, bare bones Gladiator is newly price adjusted to $35k, they have two Rubicons, one for just over $60k, and one at $56k.

That’s the problem, you can get a bigger, more capable truck for the same money. There were plenty of Gladiators at the local Jeep dealership for well into the $50k range. That’s 3/4 ton truck money. I love the idea of a Wrangler pickup priced to compete with midsize offerings, not so much priced against 1/2 to 3/4…

I used to play that for my daughter to get her to sleep as an infant. 

And made as quickly as possible in addition to cheap. After 8 years in “military grade” isn’t a selling point to me. The only upgrade that was actually an upgrade while I was in was getting the FN built M-16A4s to replace the Colt built M-16A2s. The FN felt like a match grade rifle next to the Colts. 

Back in the late 1700s we had a war to get rid of U. 

IROC-E makes me think of Saddam Hussein in one of those Dale Earnhardt NASCAR varsity jacket type coats. 

This! 90% of the assholes who have been a half a car length behind me on the highway in sketchy weather have been in either a Dodge Ram, or RAM this winter. Although, having Hellcat power at their disposal might filter out some of the piss in the gene pool.

I guess I know what I’ll be doing next Vegas trip. 

While the 80's weren’t great for power, they weren’t the 70's. A 302 equipped Granada probably had 130 horsepower. 

My mom had a green one when I was very young. My grand parents sort of ended up inheriting a beige one that belonged to my great grandmother and had shit the bed. It sat in a field behind their house from before a time I was able to form memories until I was about 12 or 13 and some oddball pulled into their driveway…

So no mention of Charlize Theron’s Simple Jack haircut? 

“It had an invisibility button? What the hell, E.B.? A dentist, with his clever, capable hands and familiarity with precision tools, is entirely believable as someone who could build a functional, miniature car.”
