Cars are undoubetly safer these days thats for sure but I do agree with you and think it’s very weird when people think anything made pre 2010 is a rolling death trap. As long as you have seat belts and airbags you’re reasonably safe...

The drivetrains were so solid a family friend drives nothing but these vans. He'll buy one, put half a million miles on it, find another and repeat. He's on his 4th Astrovan.

Automation and emerging technology is going to bring about massive unemployment in most sectors not just automotive manufacturing.

Whether you’re taking issue with the improper grammar or the lambasting of automatics as proper enthusiast cars you’re correct

My first thought when I saw that was H3T

I'm looking to do something similar to my modern-ish mustang save the wood wheel.

If the H3 got released next year it would sell like hot cakes. Right vehicle at the wrong time

Pontiac could have lived as a portal to Australia. Give us Monaros, Commodores, and Utes. Now that the Australian car industry has collapsed it doesn't make much of a difference but man what a crazy 10 years that would have been

Sorry, you're half right, it was a T100 not a Tundra

I towed my S197 with a first gen tundra with the 4 cylinder. Wasn't fun, mostly dangerous, but I could do 55 and made it home alright

Thanks for the correction! Must have misread the data on their website.

I love everything about the design other than the two desktop monitors in the dash

I'm afraid to ask, but why does the alternator need to be water cooled?

You can get a base model Colorado with a 6 speed manual for less than $20k. It might only be a 4 banger but it's rated to tow 7000lbs

GRMN is just an awful name.  Just call it GR

In fairness, most entusiasts aren’t buying new cars. Myself included. Most of the cars I’ve bought are pre 2010 and known issues are easy to find in the internet. Consumer reports doesn’t “trigger” the average enthusiast because it’s largely irrelevant to us.

Fun fact! If you remove the emissions equipment and throw some long tubes on the 305 you can make almost 225whp!

If Ford doesn't do it the aftermarket definitely will

Wasn’t the 427 a small block? I thought all the 454's were big blocks

They even forgot the 4.6 V8 Ford put in everything from 1996-2010. 281 cubes
