The Wrangler with even MORE ego.

Is that a cartel?

Welcome back, Mack!

My father also opted for something else after this. The Olds became mom’s daily driver, and he traded his first-gen Camry daily driver for...a Toyota XtraCab pickup with forward-facing jump seats. We got the Olds in ‘84, when I was 6. He got the pickup in ‘89, when I was 11 and taller.

We had one of these in the 80s. Ours didn’t have the vinyl top, though. It was his 2nd Cutlass Supreme.

Your timeline ignores the RAV4, CR-V, and Forester, all of which predate the PT Cruiser. 

I did see an XJ Cherokee being driven like modern Jeeps.

I don't think it's a Celica. I think it could be a Sentra hatchback. Maybe.

Looks like late 1980s. I remember the pop-up sunroofs and color-matched wheels. 

I think you meant Mercury Sable, but I get what you’re saying.

Enjoy your weekend. And Happy Fathers Day, if that applies.

I genuinely hate Kinja sometimes.

One thing that’s proven here: we somehow managed to function with compact trucks, as most of the pickups captured here were outfitted for some form of work.

Your "wit" is amazing. 

Riii-I-iiight. You’ve been kidding all along. Right.

“There’s no door. Why would you call it a door? Doors are doors. I just think we should compare doors to similar things. If it’s not a door, why call it one?” - essentially you.

It’s as ugly as the bug-eyed Imprezas, and priced wayyyyout of my reach.
