The Tesla Cybertruck’s Tent Is The Best Car Tent Since The 2001 Pontiac Aztek

I’m kinda more surprised the carpet is cotton and not some synthetic fire resistant stuff. 

‘Didn’t go as planned’ is the nicest way of saying got caught with his hand in the cookie jar I have ever heard. But let’s face it, the only problem is he got caught doing what everyone else in his position has done. It is kinda like when a politician gets caught having an affair. I don’t mind that they had a affair,…

Not enough stars for this. (I assume the ‘depends on your definition of’ comment is a reference to Clinton’s impeachment)

I would agree, except due to the union contract, they make less money/vehicle than Ford, FCA or any other automaker that manufactures in the US. They make the cars as cheap as possible and still make less than 1/3 of Toyota’s per vehicle profit. 

So the US should not prosecute the UAW heads because it is better for the workers if they are corrupt and embezzling dues?

“Last 15 years”...hahahahhahahahaha

The $8 an hour difference was not to punish the workers (they were still making more than the industry average) it was to punish GM for not giving a significant enough of a bribe.

It is a Mustang inspired SUV that doesn’t look like a Mustang or an SUV. It is like me telling people I have a pet lion, but it is really a house cat. 

What your saying is true for Tahoe vs Escalade, or really almost any premium version of an existing vehicle, but doesn’t really support your idea of brainwashing people. On the other hand, your comment that it would cost just as much to build a small truck to spec as a big truck is EXACTLY the point I have been trying…

So your argument is that the auto industry has brainwashed people into buying cars that cost more to produce? If they had the power to brainwash people, wouldn’t they make them pay more for cars that are cheaper to produce? The margins are higher because people are willing to pay more. It is almost like they listened…

How many of those have to meet safety regs while carrying 2 adults plus 1,000 lbs payload? Or pulling a boat? They are not in the same category.

They are the same safety regs that make the Civic 20% bigger and 100% heavier than the original. Also, the same regs that make many of the vehicles you mentioned keep swelling in size. Making a body on frame truck with a 6 ft bed, like the original commenter was referencing, meet modern regs is a lot different that…

I’m just talking about small trucks, i.e. Ranger to Ranger. The new Ranger isn’t huge, but it is way bigger than it used to be. The current Civic is about 20% longer and twice as heavy as the original Civic. That is probably proportional to the new Ranger vs old.

I’ve taken long trips in the back of my fathers extended cab S10. I’ve even taken long trips in the bed of an S10 (enclosed bed so we could soak in all those juicy CO emissions). Back then they were relatively safe, compared to everything else (except riding in the bed, that was never a good idea) but nowadays? I’ve…

I think it is mainly the safety regs that will keep the ‘small’ trucks bigger than they used to be. Whenever I see an older Ranger or S10 on the road, I can’t help but think of how mangled they would be in a modern crash test. The IIHS would have to add negative numbers to their rating system to properly rate them. 

Should we start a running tally of vehicles Jalopniks lust after when they are unavailable but never buy IRL? 

I believe her because famous people can’t be caught wearing the same dress more than once, and once someone else wears it, another celebrity can’t be seen in it. There are plenty of stories floating around of famous people ditching clothes. There was an interview with a designer who provided a dress to Madana for a…
