second generation Toyota Cressida wagon. https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/cars/ttac-throwback/ttac-throwback-why-you-should-buy-this-1984-toyota-cressida-wagon-44496821

That wagon is a mid- late 80’s Toyota Cressida. It was the top of the range pre Lexus Toyota which had the same straight-6 engine as the Supra. They also had the cool “quirks and features” dual rear wipers on the tailgate.

Musk has had so many red flags that he might as well be a Soviet military parade, and the schmucks still line up to fellate him. I do not understand it.

This should honestly be a red flag to investors in the companies affiliated with Musk. Trying to skirt responsibility for things he has said in the past by blaming it on AI deepfakes is pretty much an admission that he knows he “misrepresented” whatever product or feature he was pushing. I’ve said it before, but I’ll…

Are you saying that it’s time to unpimp ze ride?

...an aftermarket hood that addresses the stock M3 hood’s egregious louver deficit.

Thats because it won't kneel before you. 

Not sure if you live here but I have for 23 years. Oakland has changed a LOT. Parts of West Oakland are massively gentrifying. Downtown used to be a shithole. Now its like Portland.

Interestingly my best friend own a 1995 Nissan Hardbody. I own a 1996 Tacoma. We both have around 275,000 miles on each. Both have been just as reliable. I feel the main difference is that his is a lot less “peppy” than mine is and as such is a tad slow. I grew up inn TN where the hard bodys were made and later moved…

Except a lot of that perceived mileage advantage goes away when diesel is some 50% more expensive than gasoline. Not to mention how eye-wateringly expensive all of those maintenance filters can be.

no one offered a RHD car? seems like a perfect fit

The Nissan Hardbody is massively underrated imo. Much like how the Patrol had several generations that were equal to (or arguably better than) their equivalent Land Cruiser competitors, the hardbody was a good offering against the tacoma but hasn’t gotten the same love in the collector market.

I’m also in the East Bay and I can say that depending on what part of West Oakland you’re in you should be aware that if the car is gonna’ be parked on the street its probably going to get broken into, sorry to say. So word of advice from a local? do NOT leave anything in the car. And I mean anything. Or at least keep…

I noticed the same thing, rated at 26 combined just like the GM diesels. I had to go to Ram’s website to make sure they didn’t discontinue it. That’s where I read this nugget: “Manufacturer’s Estimated longest available 4x4 highway driving range in its class with over 950 miles on a single tank.”

I’ve had one of these for over two years. It’s great! I line up with a spot on the shelving at the back of my garage, drive in slowly, feel for the right front wheel to drive over the front hump and stop! It’s better than a tennis ball on a string and doesn’t use any batteries. Hint: I used some extra 3M extra-strong…

I find with older cars that I really don’t need the same parking aids as more modern offerings: the vehicles are smaller, so they’re easier to park, and they have significantly better overall visibility. Compare an early-aughts forester to a new one: the original has a big greenhouse allowing great visibility. The new…

Um, you completely missed the Ram lineup.

Widebody on the challengers were the best visual upgrade Dodge did, there’s something about a black widebody that just looks villainous. The problem with these cars is that the doors are so dang wide:

The thing about the Challenger is it drives exactly how it looks and is utterly unapologetic about it.
