Agreed...this is Tired Automotive Comparison #35872. It looks nothing like that ‘Rolla.

Here, let me pour you a jigger.

My next truck will be a ECLB F-150, and I’m not looking forward to the extra length. But it’s a spare vehicle used mostly for trucky stuff so I’ll deal.

When I drive it, I’m the filling of a shit sandwich!

Fuck, here we go. 

Um...it’s not a manual (the windows are), but it is kind of a pickup wagon?

Hey, this is Jalopnik, where a 3.5' bed will do ANYTHING you need it to.  STFU with your whining.

Hey, numbers are hard.

I don’t think those can be lumped into a single ‘model’ category without the second part of the name being included. More than one platform == different models.  I’m assuming Chevy sales figures are much higher, but they called their equivalent models different things.

They were comfy, mostly simple apart from some weird early emissions stuff, parts were cheap as hell, and those bigass bumpers could easily survive a parking lot incident without a smudge.

Why are humans racing on Antarctica?  Can’t we leave anything alone?

INSANITY LATER

First one looks like a 1st gen Audi TT.

Yeah, it’s obvious a person’s controlling it initially, with the wide swings of the wheel. Then it just....slips away.

I don’t even feel the first picture looks that difficult. I’ve squeezed tiny and large cars into spaces while parallel parking which others might have passed up.

I love the new Sonata/Stinger mashup that Kiyundai put out.

High pressure injection pumps are still gear-driven and still mechanical...it’s just at a much higher pressure and the firing pulses are electronically controlled at the injector.

I’m going to start selling T-shirts that say, “We’re not all assholes!” in front of an outline of the state.

Hey, at least Indianapolis does have a nice airport!  It’s a nice place to think about all that “Hoosier hospitality” you encountered.
