Big wheels are a trend that needs to die quickly. Sidewall is there for a reason. Keep some of it around.

Ballaban, how the hell did you not include this commenter’s photo in the leads here?!?!?! https://jalopnik.com/1830846920
A couple years ago I thought there was a 0% chance this guy would get elected President, but here we are. You can’t ignore this shit. Not that you need to obsess over it, but you can’t ignore it.
I fully expect the toasted marshmallow truck to end up in a museum somewhere.
this is way funnier then it should be.
Any 1970s car in buffalo would be rusted to hell after 30 years. For movie cars they never really do rusted out quite right, so they just picked something small and old. I’m sure they weren’t thinking too much about the car, just said “get something small and old” and that’s what showed up on set...
I drove my car up Mt Washington and didn’t put the sticker on. :(
Craftsman tools used to be good stuff. Now they are a mix of good stuff and harbor freight quality stuff. The good stuff is their traditional hand tools. The newer stuff is closer to the garbage.
Wait, the guy already has a Farm Truck (10 year old F150) and he now wants a Farm Truck? I’m not understanding the question. F150 is the quintessential farm truck, isn’t it? Sounds to me like he should buy a second F150.
Yes, that’s my point. Depreciation sounds bad based on this chart which doesn’t take actual cost to consumer into account - just MSRP or purchase price...
EVs show massive depreciation due to at least $10,000 being subtracted from the resale value before depreciation even begins. Rebates and incentives vary state by state, in our state there is a $2500 rebate plus the $7500 federal tax credit. Other states have larger rebates, and some have no rebates, but either way…
In the EV market, don’t forget that there are massive incentives and rebates for the original buyers that get immediately subtracted from resale value, and the used market reflects that. A new EV buyer in MA can subtract $10,000 from the purchase price - $7500 through the federal tax credit and $2500 from the state of…
I’ve got a soft spot for the 58 GMC/Chevy with the dual headlights up high, these look amazing to me.
When I saw your lead image I thought you had found an old I/H pickup to replace one of your Jeeps!
The thing is - what Ford is doing “should work” on paper. Small cars aren’t profitable and don’t sell well, trucks are profitable, eliminating a product line completely should slash the engineering budget and they should be able to pump out more trucks to make up the difference. But people don’t like the idea that…
I’ve only ever financed 4 cars in my life out of probably 20 cars. Also these 4 are the only cars I spent over $500 on... Two used cars at 3.9%, for about $15,000 each through a credit union. My current car at 0% was new through GMAC (now paid for) and my our new minivan at 3.9%. I wouldn’t sign a deal I couldn’t…
Completely agree, mentioned that a few comments down as well.
The solution is dramatically improving public transportation to get a large percentage of these cars off the road in the first place. EVs shift that energy production to large facilities that can be very efficient and clean, and use less overall energy as compared to personal fuel using machines... As those large…
What we really need to look at to reduce man made climate change is to convince people to find ways to use fewer resources. Go back to drying clothes on a line instead of running a dryer. Dramatically improve public transportation to reduce the number of cars on the roads. Improve access to telecommuting wherever…
I like the idea of Natural Gas and being able to refuel at home, since gas is already piped around so much. But it would be difficult to travel in rural areas where there is no gas - but there is electricity everywhere!
