Yeah I’m real worried about the whole network now to be honest. Like, Funbag isn’t up yet today, and I feel like Deadspin is about to get flushed, followed by a “pivot to video” directive at Jalopnik or some nonsense, and suddenly I’m gonna have a lot more free time.

So this whole crowd already knows what this car should be, compared to what it is. Dumping the manual and farming everything out to BMW sure makes business sense, but gearheads aren’t swayed by Toyota’s business sense. And gearheads are the only ones who would’ve bought this car anyway. The normies will get a C8 or a…

wait, isn’t the fiata more italian styling japanese reliability, since it’s mostly built in Hiroshima?

I think the problem here is that you can’t actually market this thing to people who don’t know about cars. There’s no wool-pulling. It’s not like the Urus (I finally have an excuse to drive a Lambo!) or some heritage-laden tweedmobile (Careful with the Jag, darling).

Lots of car names became famous to normies for…

Kinda like the Fiata.

Japanese styling.  German reliability.  They got it backwards.

It just takes one image, and the knowledge that it starts at under $60k to answer this question:

This is the correct answer. Somewhere out there is a clean-bodied ZJ with a scragged driveline and an interior that was destroyed by a family of raccoons.

I feel like these articles are Tracy’s subconscious crying out for an intervention. Please, I can’t stop myself, would you look at the rust, and how rare it is, how could I NOT take it home? 

Before you criticize me for looking at a new project despite already owning eight Jeeps—many in desperate need of repairs—just hear me out: this Jeep in The Badger State is truly special.

We know you already trailered this back to your parking lot house. Why even try to tease us?

You can’t truly believe that’s the status quo. You’re ridiculous. 

I won’t dare take you out of the greys to respond, but I’ve gotta say, I probably won’t take advice from someone who literally said “most blacks are garbage human beings anyway” just a couple weeks ago and spends all his time whining on a website he doesn’t like.

You misread my comment and, I’m guessing, didn’t read the article.

The status quo is killing people, destroying the environment, literally profiting from illness, and is racist to the core.

Urban development is discussed ad nauseum on this site?

claiming that art can be apolitical was your first mistake

There was a house on the corner of a small 4-stop intersection I would occasionally drive by when I was a teenager. One day, had its front yard filled with barbed wire and stacks of tires and all sorts of things and signs all saying rather nasty things about the city and local politicians. When I asked my mother about…

Indeed! Far less suspicious than a vehicle with curtains.

A friend of mine had a conversion van in high school because that was the only spare car his parents had. Once he showed up top pick up his new girlfriend for a first date in it. The dad took one look at it and gave him the keys to his brand new Mustang and said, “here, take my car. I INSIST.” Side note: he married…
