Why buy an SUV when you can buy a sports car or sedan or hatchback, AND a van for the same money?

A real grown up could carry more stuff. The WRX swan song should include the wagon variant.

We need more rail and much less trucking. Sorry Truckers, but there are just too too many truckers on the road from different large cities. This is wasting much energy. We need to streamline trucker routes to be used only where goods can’t be shipped by rail. Maybe the infrastructure bill will begin providing…

1000% disagree.

“Of course, we all know that keeping the streets nice and serene likely isn’t the real intent of the bill. Traffic stops are often more about revenue than safety, and increasing fines from three digits to four ought to net the state some nice cash flow. With these stops disproportionately affecting low-income drivers,…

as a rule, people vastly overestimate the amount of 4WD capability they need for most offroading.

I have done shit in my 2010 civic sedan that is more technical than most Jeep Wranglers see in their entire service life. my old 1st gen FWD Rav4 got through stuff that friends in 4WD full size pickups couldn’t.

these ford…

<but that would open up the possibility for all combustion engines to become CO2 consuming machines, not CO2 producing machines, by transforming carbon into fuel.>

It’s an 80's Hollywood take on what a 2020 truck would look like.

Don’t be thinking small. Think BIG. Think Continental. Think New Yorker. Think Delta 88. Tbink about all those smooth-riding malaise-yachts with 150 horsepower lumps. Imagine doubling or tripling the power of one of those things and gliding along in silent splendor...

Has this site always been hoarder-centric or has there been a significant uptick in this sort of post?

Thanks for posting this! The funny thing is I meant to say I had a budget of $500! Anyway, I just bought a nice 1988 Ranger for only $460. Which meets just about all of my criteria. It needs a slave cylinder but I should be able to fix that in a day or two. Also, I thought a lot about a minivan or cargo van, but you…

However, what is important to understand in this case is the prices you are seeing online from KBB, NADA, and other websites are retail prices

1. There are a ton of companies who put together complete rigs; there’s generally at least one local in every market too. These guys are English but representative of what you find if you search around for a bit. https://www.vesaro.com/store/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=6

I absolutely can and absolutely will complain about 18 mpg. That is truly unacceptable.

I would spend the extra to ensure the kids are as far away as possible

I’m currently leasing a 2018 DB11 for about $3,300 a month. I’m 9 months into a 36-month lease. I traded in a Tesla for this car and absorbed a 30k loss on it and rolled it into the Aston Martin lease.

I was about to ask for your hand, foot, etc in marriage until you got to the speed thing. We are now frenemies. 

James May has so many great videos of him just doing fun stuff.

Part of the reason I got so heavily into Saabs was the internet culture around them. Places like Saabnet.com had a distinct character: technical, helpful, serious and DIY-focused on everything from changing a side lamp bulb to rebuilding a gearbox. Things like trolling, flame wars, street racing threads, were just…
