less media outlet hype and breathless worship? get numbers, show us technical bits, don’t imagine “save the world” scenarios or spend weeks bloviating about “this changes everything”? and avoid using the word “disruptive”?

not a big fan of the fakery. love the 3.8 already swapped. BUT it’s an 87. the last year of the notorious bump steer. 88 got the Getrag gearbox and better rear suspension.

I get that part. I think what is being said is the cars themselves, the tiny amount of actual and even repairable problem, plus cars not in the cheating category being tarred with the same brush, is wildly exaggerated. People suddenly pretending their 2 or 3 year old car was the worst evil in history and putting…

tempting, but not “jack the price on the pretense its seriously collectible” tempting

too expensive, but floor shifted transfer case? oh yeah.

so if you try at a Federal level to crush as much of the used car market as you can, it gets rid of a lot of the lowest end and perhaps raises the prices on what’s left? who woulda thunkit? oh yeah. everyone who’s ever been broke enough to buy $300 cars not because it made for cool blog drama, but because they *had*…

it sounds silly but for things like this, amazon prime may be your best friend

marketing counts for a lot. seems all the backwards and flat brim baseball hat kids gotta have their Mustangs around the barrio here. they won’t touch a Camaro tho because they think they’re better than the “mullet guys”. they all end up wrecked pretty much the same regardless of bowtie and oval, lame hat with…

thing is people advocating this want the tax based on PERCEPTION. I drive a Chevy Colorado ZR2. evil big redneck truck. But with the 2.8l turbodiesel. Its had only one tank of dino diesel in two years. rest of the time, running 98% recycled biomass. and my family owns only ONE vehicle. So the people with 4 separate…

its not an auto enthusiast site. its a Gawker site that has more SJW shite to cram down your throat while pretending its about cars so you pay attention. Like all the anti trumpers who suddenly decided they wanted to own guns because Orange Man was coming to their parents’ basements to drag them personally into the…

and how many of thos “SUV”s youre hating on are toyota RAV4 sized micro and hybrids getting better fuel mileage and overall usage than any number of “I replace my car every year with a brand new manufactured device that gets 2 mpg better than the last one” types?

a million men get talked down and ripped off, half as many women, but hey; its a sexism problem.

trailer life is great when you know you have non trailer life to fall back on. If you don’t, well, it doesn’t reduce your stress, which is why you see many of these rather overpriced tiny teardrop and retro restored trailers for sale used. Unless you’re the type who has no problems filling your tank with water stolen…

whew. too far away, not already titled in California, so Im able to resist.

so eu subsidies for airbus and import restrictions arent a “trade war” until America decides to play the same game? The only people finding a “hellscape” are expoitative types who buy chinese parts for pennies on the dollar and are upset their 500% markup makes them less competitive now so they’ll have to settle for a…

its a truck. if I wanted gee whiz gadgets and planned to never ever get muddy or run enough winch to drive the batteries down, I would have no trouble having everything needing an always on radio system to even start the thing. For us, having an actual key switch instead of yet another solenoid for steering lock and a…

Id be more stoked if they had gotten better headlights in the new front end. seems everyone first thing is going to better LED bulbs as the stock halogens light up less road than my 07 FJR (motorcycle) did. I went with plug in LEDs (fixed low beam, adjusted with same vertical cutoff as original) less than two weeks…

my stepdad, his dad and now his son have built a few of these. they’re all over the Moab. Usually referred to as “Chevotas”

practically grew up in the back seat of a Dart. NP for nostalgia

then you get to virtue signal by running biodiesel and recycled fuel, so the “hate everything bigger than mine” crowd can’t roll their eyes and pretend their hybrid proves they’re better people.
