I mean, cool, I guess, but I personally prefer to spend my money on things that aren’t money pits.

This.

Ditto

I’ve always thought that this was the kind of thing you bought and pulled up into the yard next to a fourth-gen wrecked-but-running Chevy 1500 pickup and carefully extract all the original British bits from the Rover and deposit them in a dumpster, while removing all the American bits from the Chevy and reinstall them…

Same. This was a straight to no dice, don’t even read or really look at any of the pictures.

Oooh look how pretty it is! (But it’s a Range Rover, remember?)

Didn’t even pause to read Rob’s words. Straight to No Dice and clicked multiple times. Too much money, even if the used car world has gone crazy. Maybe at half the price, once Reality comes back into focus.

Here we are again. Literally all out of warranty Range Rovers are no dice.

I’m sure it was. This was really just a no-brainer for them. They had the perfect platform to slap a new Edge body on. I get it. To make a single cab truck, would require an entire new ground up design, because they don’t have anything to base it on. And, the R&D, tooling, etc wasn’t worth the predicted ROI.

Maverick ST Maverick ST Maverick ST.

Now, if there was a two-door, full sized bed version, it would have been perfect.

Everything tastes better cooked in bacon grease...

Ford has 1 plant building Transit Connect vans. In the first (many) years of production, the TC was not available in the US. So, it made no sense to build it in the US. Even now, most of these vans are not meant for North America, but for other continents. So, Ford builds them elsewhere. Makes perfect sense.

Look, I’m usually an all Miata, all the time kind of guy but $6500 is just too much for a nearly 30 year old car with 200k on the odometer, warning lights on the dash, and a frankly ugly color combo with the faded tan/black look.

It’s because our congress can only be counted on for maybe one piece of significant legislation per presidential election cycle. Outside of one big push for some kind of flagship legislation (which can only pass through the reconciliation process and must therefore be budget-related) basically nothing gets done.

The UAW is one of the most corrupt unions in the western world.

I think they started building some in the US a few years back. But large companies always find ways to avoid cost and “technically” get around laws, importing and stripping them likely much more economical then setting up a production plant, and someone signed off on the risk management of the government going after…

TLDR: We are still living with what is basically a protectionist knee-jerk reaction from over half a century ago.

This is the proper “6.75 litre” bentley engine, proper means you can’t fix it. Its a nightmare to work on for anyone who isn’t working out of a shed in Shropshire. Bentley, being hand made, did some batshit stupid engineering on these cars. If you need to replace the radiator, you first have to uninstall the AC…

The Tempest needs the T-Bird roof treatment...then it would be a Tempest with a T-Top!
