It’d be awesome...ergo it will never happen. If it comes close to happening, GM will over price it, so it’ll be like it never happened. 

I was going to post a lengthy, salient point about current pickup sizing and prices but frankly, it doesn’t matter. GM & Ford decided at the end of the 90s to kill the small truck. Then they created the marketing numbers to prove it. 

I’ve only had one vehicle that I cared where it ended up. Unfortunately, I can’t get it back. I traded off my first truck for something sensible. I decided Years ago to buy it back but found out it’s now in Mexico. I no longer know the vin. I don’t speak Spanish. It’s lost. 

Anyone want to bet that David Tracy went through three keyboards, a monitor, and a computer tower because he really wanted to use his magic Jeep words of “Commando”, “Wagoneer”, & “Cherokee”? Pounding on the keys so hard they broke, slamming his forehead on the monitor, then in frustration throwing the tower across…

I love David Tracy’s articles. He makes the decisions I would make if my wife didn’t rein me in. 

Once Tevin has yanked the engine, stripped out all useful parts, put it in a field and left it for five years, David Tracy will buy it back for $500, with the blown motor from the other Cherokee, figure out a way to get it to roll under its own power, and drive it to Moab in 2024. Beforehand though, he’ll post two…

There’s two types of trucks in the US, EPA classification trucks and real world trucks. Car companies will classify a vehicle as a truck if it’ll help their CARB rating, even if it’s not a truck. FCA did this with the PT Cruiser, because the EPA rating for the fuel economy was horrible as a subcompact car. In the real…

Yeah...Burris did that with an LTD station wagon when they made the original National Lampoon’s Vacation. They added a second set of lights and flipped them upside down. Maybe Chevy/GM can release a package called “The Wagon Queen Family Truckster”.

If only...

Somewhere in a trailer park, there’s a mullet wearing redneck wondering who stole the factory rims off his 1987 Pontiac Trans Am that’s been sitting up on blocks waiting for a new clutch for the last 20 years...

Saw this on Facebook, stole it, and posted it. Thought you’d like it. 

The ad says it all...”From the Chrysler-Plymouth People”. You KNOW the build quality sucks. I really expected something obscure, but I was figuring it’d be Jeep related. 

Yeah, it is sort of described like she’s more interested in the Starbucks parking lot... “I went to Mt Speedbump and camped out at the Curb Peak...”

I don’t think that was really David Tracy. I think that was Raph or Torch posting under his name. One used his “gimme” with the van, the other with the weird Eastern Bloc vehicle. 

They were talking about the straight sixes being gas hogs, which was true. They didn’t do any better than the V8s really. As for the GM products, their six was the 4.3 liter V6, not a straight. 

I’m surprised no one mentioned a used body on frame Explorer or Blazer. If David Tracy has weighed in, we’d have heard about a Cherokee. 

I remember how guys with the old 4.9 liter straight sixes used to out tow guys that had the 5.0 v8s in their f150s.  A large straight six is great for torque at low rpm. They’re almost like a tractor engine. 

I don’t use Lyft or Uber, so this whole thing really doesn’t matter much to me. But from my viewpoint, it looks like Uber is trying to say they’re like Square, where really all they do is connect consumers with individuals. There’s the added complexity of also arranging the service scheduling for the rides though. On…

I can see it now...David Tracy finds the proverbial holy grail of the perfect daily driver at something like an estate sale, low mileage, dependable, great shape mechanically & cosmetically, for about the price of a months worth of gas for his jeeps, and as he’s pulling out the cash, he spies a rusted out Jeep, such…

Great article...but it was ruined by the trashed ‘68 Mustang. My dream car floats around a ‘65-‘69 Mustang, typically the “odd numbered” years.
