The shame is, what with modern rustproofing and other advances in quality, it could be decades before there's a Bronco gnarly enough for your driveway.

What countries have you been to with all this great pavement? I’ve been to Cuba, Afghanistan, El Salvador, Egypt and Antigua and I don’t know what you’re talking about. The USA, for that matter, has some really shitty roads here and there. Staying in Europe and east Asia doesn’t sound like what this is about.

I like older bikes better than newer, so for me the answer would be the original R80GS. Airheads are simple as hammers and tough as nails, parts are so available that you can literally build one out of the parts catalog, bikes will fit in places where cars and trucks can’t go, you can get them out of the mud with

I guess you could get the car airlifted from western Europe to Japan and not have to face the fact that there's a lot of really bad roads out there. But it seems like that would go against the spirit of the thing.

Does anybody doubt that, if the show had gone for one more season, there would be just one big hammock in Gilligan and Skipper's hut?

What do you call the folks who get off on pressure treated 2x8s and stove bolts? And how do I get in touch with them?

How would a Camry not be a huge improvement over a GM J body?

Built to conk you in the head...that accounts for the M in SM.

When I want to know what I can get for stuff I drive, I usually look up the price of scrap steel. Even then, I’ve had a car and a truck that, when I asked car lots if they’d give me anything for them when I bought one of theirs, I was told, “Well, you can leave it here, that’s the best we can do.” And I did.

If you want to sell at the normal quantity, you need the normal quantity of product to sell. That’ll take a while, and that’ll dictate when prices come down.

My family has had a dozen VWs, three for me personally. We're slow learners but we got it eventually.

I'd go for more aggressive tires if I wanted to Run Through the Jungle, though.

I was in Egypt in 2016, 504s EVERYWHERE. But I read later that they stayed in production in Africa until like 2010.

“I remember when..." I remember when I could buy a '66 Microbus for $700, and my mom remembers when you could get a whole 8 cut pizza for a buck. But whenever I say that to Microbus sellers or pizza guys, it never seems to help.

These are my favorite MR2s, but I’ve never driven any MR2 or Miata, or S2000 for that matter. I discovered motorcycles before I ever had the money for a sports car and I’ve always been too cheap to spend five digits on anything. But this car is in great shape and I'd much rather have it than anything you can get new

15-years-ago prices have nothing to do with today, covid or no covid. My mom knew somebody back in Brooklyn who drove a paper route in a $250 Duesenberg. I personally bought a '65 Cadillac daily driver for $850, thirty years ago.

With Sunbeam fins?

The Czechs didn't have a time machine to go into the future and copy the E-Type. Which leaves us to think that Jaguar copied Skoda!

‘48-54 Hudson with front discs and an LS swap.

What, you never drive with your hands?
