These are just fantastic looking trucks.

No one else has said it, so I will...

Ford Raptor. Factory built baja-style truck they actually took and raced in the Baja 1000.

Owned one for awhile. They really are pretty great. Mine had the 5.3. Extended cab had plenty of room in the back. Got around 20 mpg highway and it was a hell of a nice cruiser - good ride, relatively quiet. Just a good quality* truck.


*except the damned tailgate latch and single DRL that is ALWAYS out.

...nothing you said minimizes the impact on the poor. Advanced planning?? You need to actually talk to poor folks and break out of your privilege bubble, cuz holy shit that is insanely ignorant. They aren’t planning for 4 years down the road - they’re trying to keep the lights on, the roof over their head, the car…

...that still doesn’t change the fact that EVs are really fucking expensive. Poor people don’t buy gas hogs because they want to. Its what they can afford. Add to that the average car on the road these days is 11 years old and we aren’t even talking about EVs needing to be new car cost competitive (which they aren’t),…

Definitely the right choice if mileage, reliability, and space are the only requirements. Except he said this, “ I would hopefully like something that isn’t too boring to drive”

The Prius fails miserably in that department. My significant other has had one most of the 10 years we’ve been together. Additionally, it…

I still don’t understand that. Their current model, in which they are not profitable, pays drivers peanuts, requires no capital (cars), no maintenance, no storage, no fueling/charging...nothing. But they’re going to be profitable when they’re responsible for a fleet of cars they’ll have to buy, maintain, store,…

...the Accord was a full 20 inches shorter and 1000 lbs lighter. Those two cars were not even remotely in the same class...

Next you’ll tell me a Viper was faster...

You are apparently unaware that many companies already offer significant price breaks on health insurance when people exercise, eat well, get regular checkups, etc.

You are also woefully ignorant about how weight loss works (or more importantly - doesn’t work). Fasting for 2 weeks will do more harm than good. Exercise…

I mean...that’s great, but this thing ain’t putting that out. And even if it did, nothing else in the drivetrain can handle it. No cage either.

As someone in the market for a Challenger, this is so depressingly accurate. Those forums are cesspools.

The Supreme Court has ruled police officers have no duty to protect you.

As others have pointed out, they don’t solve crimes a majority of the time and I have personal experience with that.  The only reason they “caught” the guy who stole my motorcycle was that the dumbass wrecked it and put himself in the hospital. …

Bahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Right, including accessories suddenly makes your rating accurate. Because the transmission, differential, air temperature, altitude, and humidity don’t play a role? Because even then you’re overrating your car by claiming more power than you can actually put down to the ground?

This is just…

Might have been true 20 years ago...not so much today. Might want to get with the times.

...of course they rust. Modern cars rust when they’ve been put through the same conditions. There’s nothing particularly unique about cars from that era rusting. Its not like European or Japanese cars from the era were any better. Hell, Toyotas from the fucking 90's and 00's rust as bad, if not worse than those 60's…

As someone who 1) owns two vehicles from that era and 2) loves them and most other cars from the era to absolute death...

You’re absolutely 100% right. The number of “it was underrated from the factory” types have apparently never looked at the 14 and 15 second quarter mile times those things were putting up.  The…

You’ve clearly never worked on old cars before. A 5' bed will fit plenty of filthy engines, transmissions, rear ends, body panels, and whatever else you want just fine. It’ll haul rock, dirt, firewood, trees/plants, appliances, furniture...

People who think 8' boards of plywood are the only use for a pickup are…

...yay, your vehicle that is good at absolutely nothing, doesn’t break when doing things very poorly.

I considered a Taco or 4Runner...couldn’t get over how uncompetitive they are in every possible facet except supposed reliability.

I’ve owned both a Wrangler and a Miata. The Miata is a complete trash vehicle *except* with the top down taking corners. Its fucking loud as hell, doesn’t ride great, gets pretty miserable mileage for something so small and underpowered, the interior rattles like a damned baby’s toy, and in order to pick someone up at…

...this thing is horrifically ugly. In the words of Tony Quiroga from Car & Driver,

“Let’s get something out of the way right up front: The Prius Prime is unattractive. How something so graceless, gawky, and odd emerged from a company as conservative as Toyota is shocking. Its design is so off-putting, it’s almost an…
