I think this opinion is trumpeted far too often, and I don’t think it holds any water. The K5 Blazer was pretty good. The S-10 Blazer and its GMC and Oldsmobile clones—especially that final ‘95-’05 generation? Far less so, and pretty mediocre in fact. The only reason these were rugged BOF SUVs is because that was the…

Funny story. The Simca/Talbot Horizon and the Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon look identical, but they don’t share any body stampings at all.

Found the dealer.  You’re right, they can and they should. In turn we can tell them to fuck off and buy elsewhere. I appreciate places with ADM stickers, it makes it easy to know who the shitty dealers are. 

Some dealerships will only get 1 a year. If they sell it to you, they have nothing to show off all year. They will keep it with this crazy markup and make people buying a different model feel special, like Toyota has some in demand stuff. Once the next allocated unit is close to showing up, the salesman will call the…

My millenial sister and her husband planned this van life thing for 6 months. They finished in 3 or 4, got jobs again, and bought a house. I think being in the wilderness without consistent showers, toilets, and being stuck together 24 hours a day and sharing that space with 2 large dogs kind of did the trick. While I…
