Option package pricing “closer to launch,” was all I could learn. I don’t think it will be $10,000... maybe more like... $3,999. Could be even less, really. FX4 is only a couple grand on some Rangers and F-Series models.

And why doesn’t every vehicle have one?

“ethnic intimidation” = “being non-white around someone who is terrified of everyone who is not white”. It’s like an agoraphobe trying to sue the outdoors for being there.

Dude, just become a licensed mechanic already. Establish a mechanic collective. Share a garage where you can work on one of your cars sometimes and work on other people’s jalops to pay for the port space. Get permission to do stories on customers jalops. Make videos. Make some cash.

Gonna need this image a lot in these comments I think.

I’ve been meaning to get around to explaining that for a while.

1. I took on a few freelance projects that have sapped my time.
2. My wife’s job changed a bit and doesn’t have the freedom that it once did.
3. Because of 1 and 2, the trailer isn’t done yet. It’s functionally all there, but the interior hasn’t been…

Can confirm already full of pebbles that will sit against the paint for the lifetime of the car I bet

This. No one will ever take pics behind the weird arches, but you guys will.

I don’t understand why I have to keep reiterating this. They work, they just flash in a color that the poors can’t perceive. 

Neutral: I always considered the 1st Gen Avalanche, with its Aztek family styling cues to be pretty awful.

Toyota just really wanted a Half-Ton Solara pickup

Neutral: Toyota Tundra StepSide

WHERE ARE OUR FACES????

This. The market doesn’t exist anymore. But it’s not crossovers that are the killers of fun. My wife has a Renegade Trailhawk that I don’t like, but there are a lot of fun elements to it. And she loves it.

Buyers have to want fun. And at the moment they generally don’t. They want “safe” which seems to mean a jacked-up 2-box blob you can’t see out of (for that womb-like feel) in a shade of gray.

My knee-jerk reaction was to judge, but... Thinking back, younger me did shit at least as stupid as this and I was just a lot luckier.
