Every powertrain combination has to be tested before it’s offered, both for emissions/MPG and to see if the the transmission can hold up. The manual wasn’t tested for use with either the V6 or the Duramax because they looked at the numbers and found that it wouldn’t sell well enough to be worth it.

It’s still nowhere near the size of a ‘90s C/K 1500. In fact, the C/K 1500 is almost exactly the size of a new Silverado.

What makes a MT in a pickup superior to an AT with tow/haul mode?

These are approaching the size of full size trucks of a decade ago, whereas full size trucks are enormous now

Midsize pickups have always been roughly the same size, as have full-sizers. It wasn’t the Chicken Tax that killed compacts, since the first-gen Colorado and Ranger were the last compacts. It was CAFE regs, and a lack of market interest in trucks that could only seat two people comfortably.

Where are you finding F-150s for $70K?

“Plenty” is a number, which doesn’t tell us much. What percentage of cars on the road are more than 40 years old? Can we be certain New England is a fair representation of the whole?

B1: Your vehicle survives, and so do you, but you get chronic pain for the rest of your life.

Sure, this already happens to a point, but who here thinks a car purchased today will be around in 50 years? Throw away culture at it’s [sic] finest.

Not enough! We need to fill every square hole in the grille!

I know this is a little late to the discussion, and I know that this guy is growing sod, not hay...

Even out of the box, it’s still worth more than you might think. How much would you want for it?

Well, that’s the thing. In 1999, this was a “perfect” design for the Snowspeeder:

That first one is it. I guess I was completely wrong about the box being Japanese.

Yes, I conveniently left out the prices. :P

I really couldn’t say at all what brand or model it was, except that it doesn’t look quite like any of the ones you have. The box was entirely in Japanese, and my sister sent it over after she had gone back home, about 6 or 7 years ago. It was pretty easy to build (especially compared to the 1/25 model kits I used to…

And I get antsy if I end up buying a different version of the same model in 1/64 tractors...

There’s always a new version of a Lego Star Wars set coming out, because we are gluttons for punishment.
