I have two trucks and I’m not even a big truck kind of guy (prefer small roadsters) and I see my relatives and friends getting into modern trucks for work and secondary vehicles they don’t really need.  They have no idea what they get themselves into with crazy loans and crazy ideas.  $50k for a truck?  That is nuts…

Sadly, just another typical day in AmeriKKKa...

It was the freakin’ Reverse Vampires!  They rule all!

Nice Price, Crack Price, Rust Price (run it until it crumbles).

Affluneza much?  It must have been running rampant on the college campuses.  

Well...  It’s definitely got a bit of everything for everyone...

You can spot the APillar dual guage mod, complete with the wiring showing through the window sill.

CP.  

Ugh. It is so annoying hearing this renamed/rehashed diet fad. My BIL lost 20lbs and cannot stop raving about it.

Large engines are not the problem. It is the weight that concerns me...

Stop...  Stop suggesting...  It’s too cruel...

Big reason why Toyota of those previous eras is SO missed by enthusiasts. They had ho-hum cars but their 4ag,3sgte and Supra variant engines were stout for their times! Why no YAMAHA Toyota?!? WHY!

Toyota went on about a no frills sportscar that was reliable, sporty and fun. Complexities add costs and reliability issues.

They are cheap in my books. Having two AW11 is still cheaper and more fun than the money pit 3rd project.  As always never overlook the 3rd Gen MRS.  Best handling, lightest and fits nearly whatever engine your wallet desires.

Good news is that the boat floats.  Bad news is the RV?  Not so much...

I love the Cutey Honey movie.  Doesn’t take itself super serious and that’s it’s charm.

Maybe as a talking point Nissan should make relevant cars or concepts that will mature into actual cars.

I still have Utada, Shiina Ringo and Perfume in heavy rotation. Early, mid or later in their musical careers. Here’s a video that has been on repeat for weeks for me.

I got money because she’s nothing but a money pit...

Merry Christmas Jalops! Grab some cocoa, sit back and be thoroughly amazed until the New Year looking at amazing restoration photos of amazing machinery.
