“For one, there’s the aforementioned “kick-up” in the beltline just behind the rear doors. Plus, both vehicles feature a prancing horse in their wheel center caps, and—if the leaked Bronco headlight is legit—they have somewhat similar headlight designs.”

I’ve never wanted to try park assist, and I don’t think I’d order a vehicle with one. I had an Edge Titanium at work that had it, but I never used it. I haven’t run into any issues with Sync, but it isn’t as good as CarPlay. I sure couldn’t think of a new Land Rover I’d want to subject myself to. Nearly everyone I…

Not a small cheap one, but yeah, I’ve driven them lately. 

A Discovery that won’t have electrical gremlins at the ten month mark of ownership. ;)

The GX is a fancy Land Cruiser Prado, so it’s body on frame. The Highlander is the cheap Lexus RX. 

I’d think David would be whispering in his ear “Soak it in salt water for about a week.”

When I got my 70 it was already clearly not stock, but the first thing I did was order a Marti report just to make sure it wasn’t anything I’d feel bad about taking further away from stock. A high school buddy and his dad were doing a thoroughbred restoration (which involves chasing down all sorts of factory tags, and…

These stopped being 2-3k decades ago. It’s a good driver for significantly less than you’d pay for a factory correct, numbers matching example. It’s also a California car, which means it didn’t get salted in the midwest for the better part of five decades. I missed out on one in Huntington Beach in 2,000 for $10k…

I don’t think the math would work as far as Jeep being it’s own brand. It might be profitable, but development of new Jeep vehicles are subsidized by every RAM you see on the road in North America, and every Fiat you see on the road around the world. The Fiats also help the corporate average fuel economy that…

Can Herbs even buy cars? 

It was supposed to be mid March, at least from articles I’ve read in the car rags, but the goddamn coronavirus has probably screwed that up.

If I was Harley’s CEO I’d be looking at improving their two Street models by ditching the bottom shelf parts in the suspension, and add a decent scrambler type model to the mix. I’d also assess the need for three bikes in the lineup that cost more than a brand new pickup truck. Updating the smaller motors couldn’t…

Those early 70's Econolines just hit me in the right spot stylistically . I think the big motor for a E100 would be a 302, with the straight sixes being the more common option. I don’t know if I’d pay $16k for one, but I don’t see enough for sale to have any idea what the market for them are.

Their dirtbikes seem pretty stout, in my experience they haven’t needed any more than a comparable Japanese bike would. I don’t have any experience with their dual sports or street bikes though.

He needs to look at FZJ80 Land Cruisers, a bit more refined, extremely capable off road, Will tow a boat as long as it’s not a cabin cruiser, tons of aftermarket support, and can be had in his budget... for now. I’d reccomend a 100 series, but those are a bit out of his budget, and $7,500 examples will end up being…

In his heart apparently. As a lifelong resident of high desert areas rust has always been a deal killer for me. My fetish is mechanical gremlins. 

Some of us have been to Texas and know first hand it’s just Burger King in budget packaging though. 

The closest plane to the Sea Duck is a Grumman Goose, although the Sea Duck has a P-38 tail rather than the Goose’s tail. The Sea Duck was one of my favorite planes as a kid. 

I could never live in a state filled with people so dishonest about Whataburger. 

It could really use a flat plane crank to give it a sound to match the looks. Maybe people should start swapping Fords Voodoo motor into it.
