Lol. True true. I’m ok with the end of the v8 sedan, I really think 6’s have gotten to the point of replacing them in every discernable measure (minus the sound of course.)

Ha! I just realized your Irish! No wonder the steadfast strangle-holding of antiquated, self centered ideals along side the persecuted, injustice-dealt position against the government and regulation. Honestly the only European immigrants I have ever met that will immediately buy a SUV the minute they land (I live in a…

A redneck isn’t necessarily from America, and just in case you can’t figure it out your personal position has little to nothing to do with public safety or the interest of what’s best, just that you want to be free to do whatever you damn well please. You wouldn’t say that when the side of “normal” car gets crushed by…

I’m sure they’re are people that enjoy driving like that, I’m not sure if they read Jalopnik, but I’m damn sure no articles are written for them, and I’m positive they are not really vocal on their position. Kind of the personality that goes with the pace.

Holy fuck, your arguement just failed so hard you went straight to schoolyard logic huh? No, you ten-year-old-sister-argument-making, Donald-Trump-style-simplification, intelligence-insulting redneck, is that SUVs and trucks should be taxed and regulated in a manner that unless you really want them, or in the case of…

Do people pay taxes based on the size of a house and its location? Do people endanger other peoples lives by keeping their houses that they can’t afford in disrepair? Do municipalities generally have ways of preventing people from having their property in an unsightly manner? Does a mandatory annual mechanical vehicle…

What an idyllic picture, I feel peaceful just looking at it.

A bit of poes law at play. Your argument is one the I could see a GM lobbyist playing,

Listen here, GM lobbyist, this is Jalopnik, not Consumer Report; buying a vehicle to enjoy the driving experience should be the objective of driving said vehicle, everything else is secondary to that. So the question is, why would you be convinced to buy something devoid driving enjoyment, that is larger and has more…

I got my 85 this year!

Then the guy selling it went and got a brand new fully loaded Sierra for 24,000 after negotiation.

Oh it happened. I was tasked with selling a 7 year old full size truck with 60,000 km about 2 years ago. I could not get $6000 for it.

No, its because you do.

I cannot be “wrong”, it’s a matter of opinion.

So if displacement and torque is your thing than a 15l diesel producing 2300ft/lbs @ 1100rpm with a max of 400 hp is the very definition of excitement.

This is the best BMW ad I have ever seen. Never before have I wanted a 850 this badly.

So your argument is pushrod engines are “lethargic”....yet they make more torque than a smaller higher revving engine that would make similar power.

Besides spark plugs and the rad and timing chain guides, nothing on that list would be considered preventive maintenance, its all replace when broken. That was the main point of my question, which I will rephrase: sure it runs, yes it will run for quite some time, but at 200,000 mi pretty much every original wearable…

Lets get a better shot of that outlandish, dinner plate sized distributor cap shall we?

Pretty ugly!!!!
