Now's your chance to redeem yourself Raphael! Do the work! Learn to troubleshoot instead of just sign checks to mechanics! None of this stuff sounds impossible to fix if you have a place to do it (getting one of those is a task in itself, but if this is really your goal, you will find a way). This is a neglected car -…

20R FTW!
I hate football. Only watched a handful of games, and I was really only there for the beer and nachos. I just don't get the appeal. Hockey's my sport.
I also own a Miata with a rollbar. Do I get some special badge of Jalop approval?
Clearly mine is the best. 87 245, brown vinyl interior, crank windows, 5-speed, 189k on it.
I spent almost a year living in a $300 toyota truck that I also drove to work and school. My only possessions were the truck, a mattress (in the covered bed that I insulated with packing foam) and my bass rig (bass guitar, not the fish). Did the gym membership thing to bathe. Ended up getting in shape, and socking…
I say OBD I Japanese cars. Simple, digital EFI and bubble-era build quality.
Good point. A more accurate comparison between the truck in the video and a MURICAN truck (the kin' with reeeeel gutts, hyuk, belch, fart) would be to put a HiLux against an 80's/90's S10, or a Ranger. You know, the kind you don't see much on the road anymore.
Not a T100, a HiLux. That badging makes it magic. I have owned an 80's Yota truck, and let me tell you, they are hard to kill. At one point, between my father, myself, and my two brothers, we had >1.5 million miles worth of R-series powered Toyota pickups and 4runners. Youngest brother's 'frunner had >500k on the…
The leader is good, the leader is great
The car was designed by Isuzu's Shiro Nakamura, who later went to Nissan and panned the Juke, GT-R and other cars. At the time his design team included several designers who would go on to be notable figures in the auto industry, like Peter Horbury and Julian Thomson, who now design for Volvo and Jaguar, respectively.
This is what I dislike about Jalop. At first, I thought it was a blog for those of us who don't mind doing our own work, who like our cars for reasons we can't quite explain, who keep our jalopies going because we love them and are willing to spend our nights and weekends keeping them going.
Alternate title: Behaviours that will go away once non-enthusiast motorists get put into driverless cars.
If you want to trap a wild Jason — perhaps for the meat or luxurious pelt — a great way to do so is to tell one he can drive something interesting. That's what happened with this customized Pantera. It's an old car, given new life with some help from Nike's skunkworks design team.
