I've seen these trucks sell for under $5000 in this condition. Nothing against this one in particular, as it appears to be worthy of some restoration.

This is hardly a horror story, but I paid off the loan on my vehicle, so I head down to the Illinois Secretary of State Driver Services Facility with a signed title from the bank and a lien release letter to get them to remove the lien in their computer system. The lady I spoke with informed me that I would have to…

I don’t know. This just seems like a gimmick that’s only useful for stupid people who aren't experienced towing trailers. I’ve backed up trailers dozens of times and while it takes a little getting used to I’ve never had any issues.

The whole argument that modifying 25 year old vehicles with newer parts, like engine swaps from newer Land Rovers, somehow makes them less than 25 years old and therefore illegal in the U.S. doesn’t make sense to me. There’s nothing to stop someone importing a 25 year old Land Rover to the U.S. which has an engine…

I may need to move to Australia so I can drive one of these, since there are no plans to bring them to North America.

I once stumbled upon my old 2000 Toyota 4Runner on eBay, listed for $9000 (double what I got as a trade in value). It happened to still have the nice aftermarket CD player I never got around to removing before I sold it, as well as the Michigan ORV registration sticker from when I took it to Silver Lake ORV area.…

You definitely ruined everyone's day, but I wouldn’t be that worried about crashing a mule that's already destined for the crusher.

I was surprised to see that a 6 year old used M5 isn’t significantly more expensive than a used M3 of the same year.

While I agree that there’s no point buying a 2WD Jeep, it’s disingenuous to act like the addition of 4WD makes an otherwise boring compact crossover SUV suddenly capable of tackling Moab. Especially when most owners will use it to get groceries.

If I had one that was race prepped with a rollcage, sequential shift gearbox, and hydraulic e-brake like this one I would rally it. If it was a road going one with a nice interior and a stereo, then I would do autocross.

The 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee. It was around long before the SUV craze of the late 90s and Chrysler thought it wasn't worth redesigning an old school boxy shape and we ended up with the Jeep Liberty.

It’s surprising they actually referenced the redneck colloquial term “rolling coal” rather than come up with some other official sounding government jargon or a euphemism of some kind. I wonder if states will start mandatory emissions testing for diesel vehicles, like they do with OBD II gasoline fueled cars. I’ve…

I don’t think that the TDI Jetta wagon and the Tiguan are an apples to apples comparison. The TDI is significantly more expensive than the gasoline models when new, and they don't even offer a diesel Tiguan in North America.

People like to hate on Camrys because they are so common, boring, and suburban. That’s who they market too. The fact is there are so many of them on the road that incidents like this happen more frequently. Percentage wise, there are probably just as many dumb people who overestimate their driving talents and crash…

Well in that case, an engine replacement isn’t a sign of neglect or abuse, and is probably a good sign that the car has been taken care of. I would totally spend $135,000 imaginary dollars on this!

If the first engine blew up at only 22,000 miles, the previous owner either drove it hard and abused it, or missed scheduled maintenance. That would be reason enough not to buy an 3 year old used Honda Accord, let alone a Ferrari.

I’ve heard from a mechanic that a car with a misfire or bad catalytic converters can pollute 100 times more than a well maintained, normally operating vehicle. Stricter emissions standards only affect brand new cars, the average age of cars on the road is 10-12 years old.

I’ve thought about buying a compact SUV like a VW Tiguan or a RAV4 and putting the largest/most aggressive tread tires that will fit without rubbing on the body. If nothing else it would be unique.

Will it blend? But seriously, what is the city fuel economy like? How is the ride quality? I’ve heard performance cars can have a harsh ride on the street.

Once I hit a pretty mean pothole in my 4Runner going about 50 mph and the next week I was in the shop getting a new front wheel bearing on the same side I hit the pothole. Although it had about eleventy hundred thousand miles on the OEM bearing at the time so it may have just been a coincidence.
