My buddy drove a turbo 5spd Baja for years. The turbo finally crapped out on him this past February and he traded it in on a new BRZ. They are hard to find though...and the subie dealer here listed it back on used lot the very next day as-is. The Baja was a cool little rig for what it was, we took it hog hunting and…

Yes, but after the current re-style, I think the Escalade is the better looking of the three. Pricewise you're just splitting hairs if comparing the Escalade to a fully optioned LTZ or Denali. Unless you're looking at the Platinum trim or whatever they're calling it these days.

Would love to own one of these with that swap! The 2CV flip was probably my favorite eipsode of Wheeler Dealers.

You jest, but with the trailering package mentioned in the Rally 1 and Rally 2 packages above I bet there is someone who would prefer rear drums if they regularly tow. Not that they'd be looking at this truck in the first place, but there's always "that one guy."

REVERSE: Only 83 tow trucks to set a record? There's probably twice that many that show up for a flat tire on any Houston area street.

I don't mind the Flight Club blog posts popping up in Jalopnik. I like reading about planes just as much as I do about cars.

Because on their daily route they rarely go very fast or very far. And aren't most kids made out of that bouncy stuff? I know mine are... poor things, I've dropped them all on their heads at least once or twice over the years.

Always remember the scene in "The Crew". Burt Reynolds buys an XKR and pulls up at their morning breakfast place. Richard Dreyfus' character is giving him shit about buying a Jag, and he tells him that it's okay because that they were owned by Ford.

This is possibly the most click-bait post I've seen on Jalopnik, and that disappoints me. I've long considered this blog to be better administered than it's corporate bretheren. Please keep on with your GOOD works and not stuff like this.

An object does not have to cost upwards of $200,000 to be considered world class.

Customer of mine, just wondered if you were him. I think he makes machinery that manufactures flexible ductwork.

Is this Eric Johnson, of the Eric Johnson Company in Houston?

Thanks!

How long has this been in the works? I think I remember seeing a rendering or mockup of this around 15 years ago or more? Did I miss something, or is this brand new?

I was just thinking the same thing.

Are you kidding, that bird is ON a Wal-Mart scavenger.

I remember discussing a first car with my dad. The only thing he said that ever stuck with me was "something with a lot of crush space." LOL! I turned out to be a pretty good driver and don't recall ever getting a scratch on my car, let alone the unfortunate need for 'crush space'. My folks were pretty easy…

Perfectly stated. Also, airports must spend millions on gate renovations and equipment to be able to accommodate the A380. There are only a handful of US destinations that can handle it.

Ford delivered the vehicle to Dr. Pfenning just over a week after ordering? Those were the days.

Yep, if you're flying domestic you'll either be on a 737 or some old MD-80 on it's last flight before the boneyard. I fly Southwest and considering they are typically the launch customer for any new derivative of the 737 I still only seem to see the older models each time I board.
