Ok, not a car but this is the plane I fly. It has a potable water system that must be drained every night as it can infiltrate the aileron controls and then when you climb up high into super freezing temps that water freezes and locks the ailerons in place until you descend into warmer temps. Guess how this was…

This is just design... not design flaw

But... that’s not a design flaw. It’s not designed to be a work truck. It’s similar to how I got a little frustrated getting my mtn bike in the back of my Mazda CX-30. It’s not the cars fault, I bought a small car on purpose.

That’s less a “design flaw” and more just “ugly design.”

Because the investment in a second type of door in terms of manufacturing and assembly complexity is much much higher for body panels like doors than it is for wheels. Its the same reason why all the go fast stylized body panels on high trim levels or wide body models are plastic panels like bumpers and fender flares…

VW = ND. Always. Fool me once, that’s all ya get. 

Now THIS headline would have had my undivided attention. SO close to me caring.

No amount of athletic prowess excuses breaking laws and putting anyone in danger of very serious injury for your convenience.

It figures this Porsche is in the O.C. with more Trust Fund Felons per capita than anywhere. Home of the sort of mammothrept that would turn its nose up at a 911, water-cooled slushbox or not. I wonder what they bought it instead. Seems like a nice price to me.

it’s a bad idea, right?

Let’s say you are correct and the truck on its own is worth $15k (I disagree, BTW and I love 7.3s). The seller is still trying to get $35k for it. Then they want another $35k for a camper that retails for around $28k. Even with your math, this thing is worth $43k max.

Looks like something a dude would put together in order to impress other dudes on some overlanding/prepper/vanlife forum.

I was looking at some property for sale the other day in eastern New York (east of Albany, nearing the MA border). It was pretty easy to buy 5-10 acres for somewhere in the neighborhood of $40-70k. So, on that basis, it’d be a no go for me.

263,000 miles

Way high, especially the truck portion even though a nice combo. Sounds like one of those, “I put it up for sale honey, but had no takers.” You’d never get my wife in one of those - $70k buys a lot of nice hotel rooms.

If you feel like you have to be a fashionista, you do you and deal with the consequences. I wear the same clothes to work I wear on vacation, which are the same clothes I wear on an evening out. But I have zero use for “galas afterparties” of any kind. if khakis and a polo shirt are not appropriate attire, likely not…

Lovely. I have a bad habbit of making my vacations road trips, driving as much as possible to see it all. It’s exhausting and not leisurely. GO TO ICELAND and drive the ring road. Most alien world you can visit easily.

I refused to look at the market and went ND. I know this is pretty much spot on, but I refuse to believe these are really worth what a cheapo commuter car is.

I’m a bit of a math wiz, but you’d think that the people of country that has a huge demand for cheap, imported goods, might be in a tight spot if the cost of all the goods they buy increases by 100%.  Especially since that importer nation has spent many decades moving their manufacturing out of country to cut their…

Your challenge today is to find me examples of mainstream Chinese cars that are blatant ripoffs of American vehicles.
