All I’m gonna say is that a 65 Econoline that’s lifted enough to stuff 31"x 10.5" AT tires in the wheel wells can successfully pull a tobogan both up and down the sled hill in Rouge park in Detroit.

LMAO, I did that to a co-worker when I worked for Cars and Concepts. I ran a washer line through the firewall and taped it up under the steering column, hot wired the pump to the ingnition and viola, a key activated crotch soaker.

This method will keep you out of the dog house with your spouse.

My BIL just leased a 2017 Trax for $82 a month.

Same here, plus a dozen or so paid Holidays.
 

Only if “little” was the preceeding word. ; )

Well said.

You nailed it, there are a lot of better car designers out there. Very very few come close to him in telling a stoy in a single image.

Also known as clown suiting, and it’s still very common on clay models. Sometimes showing 2 themes, other times it is a theme vision/critera compliant split.

Good list David, in my 40+ years of driving the only ones I haven’t experianced is hacking and carbon monoxide (Maybe have and just didn’t know it, the 70s are kind of hazy).

Could I last a day on the line? Yeah it’s easy. Would I want too? No, I’d rather blow my brains out rather than perform the same task 100 times a day 60 times an hour. Doesn’t mean they deserve high pay for doing something so boring and repetitive

As someone that raised 4 kids, 8 passenger full size for the win.  

A suburban is very hard to beat as a do all/tow vehicle.

I voted nice price, and If I wasn’t trying to put together the extra cash for the boat I want when I retire in a couple of years I’d be real tempted.
