It’s quite simple, really.

Doesn’t exactly help the “NASCAR IS A SPORT AND NASCAR DRIVERS ARE ATHLETES!!!” argument.

yep, my thought exactly. That would make sense in China, where Buick is revered.

Honestly what pissed me off is that these guys at Carmax are just trying to make a living, and they’re paid on commission. Every minute they spend with Doug, providing him with fodder for a fairly weak article about appraising a truck he never intended to sell, is a minute they weren’t spending with someone who could…

These were fantastic trucks. Wish something similar on the market (cheap, reliable, rugged, and utilitarian) existed today.

1990 Honda Accord....you might not love this car, but I’m not sure how you can not like it.
