It GMG media paid for it I'll shit in my front yard.

Just one more voice from the commentariat saying:

Sweet Christ david, how does every winter/spring project get more exponentially ridiculous than the last?

I’m reading this and yelling out loud “Why David, why.”   If you have to do the difficult job of fitting a new electric drive system to an old chassis, why not pick a vehicle whose body and cab is in somewhat decent shape?  Why do you have to make every project so difficult all around?  Why can’t you be more like…

Prius is the ultimate transportation appliance. You don’t replace your washing machine until it fails.

This the the kind of hard-hitting journalism you can only expect from Jalopnik.

Debadge to your heart’s content, it’s not going to change that black Leaf into KITT, no matter how hard you want it to

I always assume if a car is debadged it’s the cheapest version of whatever it is.

Debadging your car? is it 2013 again?? A debadged car is one of the easiest ways for me to spot a shitbox, tbh.

What would be left of one of David’s Jeeps if given this treatment? Buckets of rust and few bolts?

Saw Jeep, assumed it was David.

I agree everyone is entitled to wallow and have their pity party, the key is not to get stuck there. I know a person that has been stuck in his own pity party for 8 years now, 8 freaking years! He is pretty much just letting life pass him by because he is stuck.

Look i dont wanna sound mean and i’m sorry in advance....but really does anyone here really give a shit about this??? or care at all??? most of us have our own shit boxes that we are dealing with on a daily basis....doesnt mean we want to come here looking at someone elses...

This is AMERICA, we don’t use them commie units! :P

Get it cleaned up before it grows, we both now how good ole Pure Michigan is. Lol

I get it’s a joke but just once I’d like to see one of these posts where every option is a good, realistic choice. I’m tired of seeing 1 good option and 3 batshit crazy vehicles. I mean seriously, Austin lives in Maryland and works for a living, he doesn’t run a summer boutique on Nantucket.
