I don’t know why people are complaining about the size of the bed - it looks like it could hold several pieces of antique furniture.

The webbing to replace the missing driver-side door handle is a folksy touch.

In 2004 I saw a woman try to kill herself by driving one of these off Beachy Head, Quadraphenia-style, except rather than plunge hundreds of feet to the rocks below the truck decided to wedge itself in a crack 50 feet down, allowing its driver to ponder fate and the miracle of life for an hour or two until…

Take a walk on the wild side

His kit looks more orange/Dutch to me.

The empty grey median does make it look like the curb there is just yellow lines painted on the pavement, so I’m not surprised people try to cut through there, as one tends to do across painted lines in an empty parking lot.

I’m surprised they’re apparently cool with just giving a dog like that back to the owner. This time it was only the bumper of a Dodge Journey, next time it might be a Saab

I used to drive one of these, a white cargo version that I bought from a drywaller in Calgary and it was without doubt the best vehicle I’ve ever (and probably will ever) owned.

Seems appropriate that it’s painted the color of lipstick

If I saw this I’d be like, Wadi you think you’re doing?

So firefighters don’t carry anything that can deal with burning gasoline - all they have is hose water? That seems crazy - they must get called to a ton of car fires.

So this was a 911R parked in front of my house in Toronto yesterday? I don’t usually take photos of cars but this was so gorgeous I had to make an exception.

While browsing eBay for vintage license plate dealer frames I came across ‘Three-Way Chevrolet’, which still exists in Bakersfield CA.

I did this once, in a 79-81-ish Chevette when I’d only been driving for a few months. What happened was the engine stalled and the car stopped (it was on a city street with light traffice), but it fired up again and seemed to suffer no ill effects.

The bigger question, apparently, is whether its aluminum bed can now withstand having the corner of a toolbox dropped onto it in a misleading and disingenuous stunt-test by one of its competitors?
