This has to be one of the best and most interesting articles that I have read on Jalopnik in a long time. Great story Alanis!

Maybe the GM engineers should spend less time touring Ford’s F150 plant and more time designing trucks that don’t look like complete shit.

I think it’s pretty easy to tell that it’s a Tundra.

“It started off bad, and every time I fixed something, something else breaks,” Cox said of his nightmare purchase in a phone interview. “The car seems like it wants to go back to the junkyard, or...to go rust in peace.””

The third row even folds flat on the 03+ up. You can also remove the 2nd row seats if needed.

I bought my 03 Expedition for 4k and have put almost 50k miles on it, and so far have only had to replace a window switch at 197k miles, it’s worth every penny.

These things look terrible and are the Dodge equivalent of leaving the sticker on your hat.

After watching the video, damn I love this guy. He’s a true Jalop!

“...he believes, the first person to bring a Model S back from the salvage yard to like-new quality”

Damn, you’d really hate me, as I drift a Mustang :) 

All 2015+ F150's equipped with a tow package have the back-up assist. I’ve personally never used mine and I tow trailers frequently.

As a detailer, this is nothing relaxing about this to watch lol 

Great article and great photos! Makes me super excited to go to FD Seattle in a couple of weeks. I had a blast at Irwindale last year, if you’ve never been to FD, I highly recommend it! 

That’s barely “drifting” and even Tesla themselves called it “Skid pad testing.” Looked like it plowed the front tires a lot, but of course, it has the torque to keep the rear tires lit.

I agree, I think it’s one of the better-looking sedan’s from that time period. The interior is a bit cheap looking, but it’s decent for the time period.

2018 and China, Actually.

I wouldn’t call it reliable either. Nissan’s with CVT’s are absolute junk.

That was nice of him to buy him an 8 year old Altima, but hopefully he will be there to cover the replacement of the CVT soon, as well.

While that may have been true, she put herself in the wall many times while trying to avoid others and ended up caught in their wreck. She had top 10 equipment, there was no reason for her to be back battling for 25th.

The current Fusion has been around since early 2013, not 2011.
