the rear of most every 1950's stepside pickup is a dead ringer for the back sketch. all truck beds looked like that. the back end isn't what's unique - the front grille is, and the angled sides on the bed are.

the side shot may not show front wheel flares, but you don't get that rounded front look in the sketch without flares around the front wheelwells in my opinion. it's not like someone made that sketch of the truck from a photograph, they made it from memory, and it's not necessarily 100% accurate.

I vote Austin A40. That front end just screams London Taxi to me, which is an Austin FX, so it led me to this.

It's 2011, I'm really over physical media at this point. I live in a small house, and I don't have space to continue to buy more and more shit. So I've made adjustments in regards to things like cd's, dvd's, comic books, books and video games. Taking all of the physical versions of those things my wife and I…

you can get an entry level remote start kit for like $40, and anyone with the ability to follow directions, operate hand tools, and do some very basic electrical splices should be able to handle doing one.

i totally disagree with the "keep your mouth shut." if a workplace is unbearably horrible, and a number of people quit, but no one gives a reason why, then the place will never change.

I went through this all 8 months ago.

"It is impossible to monitor everything your children do," she adds. "These companies should take some responsibility. They take advantage of vulnerable people."

this makes absolutely no sense to me because of the price. i was thinking that's kind of cool, and could actually be useful for $500 or less, but $2800? damn.

I have a 72 blazer project going, and there is no such thing as "rust free" on really any 67-72 gm truck, at least anywhere that has a winter. The body panels were not well rust-proofed from day one, and "luxury" or not, no one bought these things to baby - they were used and abused as trucks (should be). My…

the current fleet:

and how about a 1600 x 1200 resolution display too with the ability to display 1080p (granted, not pixel for pixel)

2 or more core, 2Ghz or better clock speed, 2Gb or more of memory, 500Gb or more hard drive space running a full desktop OS, but with all the best tablet features - pinch zoom, rotation, GPS, compass, etc. Also needs 3g, 4g, and wifi data. But it should be the exact size of an iPad, adding only a side dock too and…

i find my brother's GMC typhoon with snow tires amusing. not exactly a supercar, but certainly not a typical "winter beater" either

i'm sure space is at a premium in that van with a number of people, and everyone's gear, so i'm surprised they're willing to devote such a large space to that. that box could easily be 1/4 the size and still have the same contents.

@Bueller: the square wheelwells burn my eyes!

@Bonhomme7h2: i personally think the 98-02 camaros are worse

@b612markt: just because it's badge engineered and its existence annoys you, how does that make it the ugliest vehicle of all time?

the lack of symmetry is so bad on a design level it gave steve jobs cancer

but will that include the wifi hotspot "tether" capability, or will that cost more?
