Man, this country used to do some cool shit.

@Papercutninja (now minus the N!): I didn't mean make it look like the retro T-Bird or Mustang. I guess I was just saying to make it look like a no-frills pick-up truck, something that would seem cool to the PBR swilling set. The nose of it has been updated and looks better than before, but still feels stale.

The problem with the Ranger is that Ford doesn't do much to sell it (and it is old, dated, etc). A few years ago I was thinking about getting something new and thought a 4x4 Ranger would really be about what I need. I wanted to look at one, but it was hard to find a dealer with one (at least with one on display,…

I suggested a Cushman Truckster (meter maid ride like Hightower drove in Police Academy), but I didn't expect that to make it.

Cage is a weird actor for me. I think he is great in Raising Arizona, it is one of my favorite movies. I can't stand him in anything else. The only movie I have ever considered walking out on after paying for a ticket was Face/Off.

While every running Yugo was probably destroyed during the filming of Drowning Mona (and one Omni "Police Car Yugo"), this survivor is not worth $10k+ the original sticker price.

My dad and I took a photo with Bob Lutz after he flew his jet into an air show. For some reason he had his grandkids get in the picture too.

The old electrical tape over the bow tie trick almost fooled me.

@southernscrew: Actually, yes.

@WSaM: The part about it being an heirloom is a joke. (I had to Google it but) Bologna bicycles are custom built hipster rides made in NY.

I have a 1950s Columbia 5-Star frame, looks just like that, only cooler. I'd sell it to him for $200 + boobs.

I'd kind of like a Cushman Truckster. Top speed about 55 mph without modifications.

She's actually handing him part of his spleen.

This guy could have had a lot more fun just getting European delivery and essentially driving it from the factory. (Then do his obsessive shipping routine).

There is a Cherokee in the background, it looks like one with a Magnum wagon grille.

It is basically this. Look at the lines.

I like it, I'd like it more with a manual, but I don't like it anywhere near $25k.

@Jo Borras: GMAC was the part of the company that made money. GM was basically a bank that had cars for collateral. Getting rid of the finance arm was stupid, but they had to unload ResCap.

It's cool, I'd still rather have a Wire Beetle.
