It looks like every bleak tech office I had the distinct (displeasure) of seeing in LA and San Francisco. 

Man, the interior of that thing is bleak... 

Lol. 

My limited understanding is that the 2.5/3.0 cam swap is quite common, but the seller has to be able to explain that. At this price, a lot has to be better explained than this. Where’s the factory steering wheel (which is gorgeous)? And where’s the factory rims? Even the lack of radio is... interesting. It’s fairly…

Lol.

Everything is a one-off thing until it isn’t. Cable TV largely didn’t have ads in the beginning, and it quickly became the dominant form of advertising. Product placement used to be relatively subtle, now you’re hit over the head with an Acura commercial every time you watch a Marvel movie. Pop up ads on website began…

As someone who’s only owned manual transmission vehicles for 24 years, good. It doesn’t make any sense, and I have to agree that the Toyota thing sounds like the virtual sound gimmick. 

Nope. Old plow vehicles are almost never worth buying unless it comes with a stack of receipts related to replacing the entire front-end suspension every other year and the clutch and transmission at least a few times. Plowing is pretty brutal on a vehicle, and frankly I’m suspicious of how good a Jeep like this could…

25 gallon tank, 12 (?) mpg, gas at $4 a gallon? No thanks. I’d love to borrow one for a road trip, but I definitely don’t want to own one. 

The Explorer is very nice. Definitely looks the most premium. The pricing of the Kia is tough to ignore, so it makes sense you see the thing f’ing everywhere. I’ll be curious how the new Pathfinder goes for Nissan. 

But... those cars aren’t in the same class? The comparison would be the Honda Pilot, which has the same engine and everything else. It’s just the most god-awful bland looking car that I’ve ever seen.  

Meh. I’ll likely have lost interest by then. Just like the interest I lost in Winds died ages ago.

I guess if you really want a unique Radwood car this might be worth tinkering with. But or the rest of the world, there’s no reason to look at this car and it’s a solid ND. The cloth top will be a nightmare to find parts for. It needing replacement tie rods probably means there’s far more work to do up there than just…

I mean, that’s cool.

Easy NP, even though I hate the color. I’d be shocked if it wasn’t sold already.

Seriously. I can’t believe someone would spend this kind of coin on this crappy van. 

Price of propane where I live in upstate NY is around the same, although a little bit more. An average of $3.46 a gallon.

I don’t care if this is the price it commands, its a ND from me. I at least understand the appeal to the camper vans. They’re cute. And theoretically useful. But this? This is just a much, much worse minivan. For $12k, you could buy a minivan that would be able to keep pace on a 55mph road which wouldn’t kill you if…

For sure. But the driving dynamics were so, so different. The Civic wagon still drove like a Civic. It handled well, didn’t feel ponderous or heavy. Got ridiculous mileage. Was a great little car that happened to have 4wd. Or, whatever they called it. To me, it’s far closer to a Subaru Crosstrek or something like that…

Interesting theory. Kind of an odd car to do it on, but hey, I like the idea!
