Trucks have pretty big gas tanks. Mustangs have always had too small of gas tanks, frankly. (One of my only pet peeves about them as an owner.)

If you aren’t subscribed to Motortrend TV, you’ll probably not see much Roadkill ... they left YouTube years ago.

The cars Roadkill gets are often straight out of the junkyard - so I guess you have a generous definition of “serviceable.” There are occasions they buy something better, but many of their builds are literally from the junkyard.

I mean, they actually have Steve Magnante (host of Junkyard Gold) look through junkyards to…

I’m not sure I exactly agree with your sentiments on Roadkill’s intentions. My impression is that Roadkill is more about getting a car to barely road-worthy and then driving the snot out of it. Sure, they sometimes engine swap stuff that they know will fail (see the over-revved Caddy engine into the Gremlin) but most…

But Motortrend / HotRod already makes Roadkill - which is primarily Chrysler-related garbage, too, since F&F worship at the altar of Chryco.

Talk about a crowded media space. Yeesh.

I remember watching Knight Rider and it had some of the most cringy acting I have ever seen.

Fusion as a new product might be dead, but the cars themselves sure aren’t.

I have 222k on my 2010 so far and have no plans to stop driving it any time soon. It has been a wonderfully reliable vehicle with very minimal maintenance.

I know of several others who have 200-300k on them with similar stories.

They were good…

EcoBoost motors are torque monsters off idle. So much so that they’ll school a 5L Coyote in torque. It makes me sad to admit because I love V8s.

Fair enough. One of the problems with this platform is that it holds your comments hostage after 15 minutes - there’s nothing I can do to fix it now.

If I tried to convince you that the Lada Niva was a superior truck to the Chevy 1500, that hypothesis would almost make sense.

In reality, I tried to convince you that a 350 V8 > 4.3L V6.

What could be more American?

Simple misspeak on my part.

But it does feel a bit like you missed the forest because you were focused…

Eagle eye! Nothing gets past you!

You’re right - “several” was the wrong word to describe a little over a decade and a half.

Next time I’ll have my editor look it over before hitting publish. *eyeroll*

I’ll pass.

These trucks are terrible without a V8. The 4.3L is a gutless piece of crap.

I have a back-story for why I hate the Vortec V6 so much, and it involves a regret my grandfather had in purchasing a vehicle with one.

My grandfather had an ‘89 Cheyenne 1500 with a 350 V8. While it’s true that truck gave him a lot…

Welcome to Jalopnik.  Where the headlines are made up and the stories don’t matter.

As a kid, I’ll admit I thought Subaru was Australian, too ... because of Paul Hogan.

You know why? Because of an ad campaign like this:

That’s the point! You should be exercising caution and allowing vehicles to back out when their reverse lights are on when you’re in a parking garage.

The problem is that you can’t reasonably exercise caution around GM vehicles because if you do, you’re probably going to sit there for 15 seconds waiting for the owner…

You are right - my apologies. I typed the wrong vehicle.

I do know the difference, however. Expeditions ride even better than the Excursion since they’ve had an independent rear suspension for over a decade.

But Excursions still ride better and are more comfortably than a bus ... that much I guarantee. I speak from…

You’ve clearly never been on a bus if you think an Expedition and bus are anything alike in terms of driving experience and passenger comfort.

You’ve never parked in a parking garage, have you?

There is no mutually agreed upon definition for “tech,” and this ambiguity is what Tesla and most of Silicon Valley thrives on.

If you want to understand why the world is confusing these days, substitute “tech” with any other over-loaded word used in culture wars, and things will make a lot more sense why we are where…

It’s kind of funny that the new Supra is playing out just like the original one.

Too expensive and only makes sense as a used car if you’re evaluating the value.
