Hear, hear. I used to have to crawl over a speedbump by my girlfriend’s house in my old buick not because I had lowered it(I hadn’t) but because it was both wide and cut off abruptly on the back side. The first time I it it at over 5mph it dented the subframe because of soft grandpa suspension and knocked my stift…

The first “parent car” we got was after my wife’s 1st gen Rav4 got totaled by an airhead in a fusion that decided the bright blue SUV coming at her didn’t matter as much as her cell phone and illegally entering a one way the wrong direction was a 2003 mercury mountaineer, it was a great rig until the sealed…

If i remember correctly it. “Opens its eyes” to expose the headlights.

Agreed. If they were thinking enviro friendly why not made from infinitely recyclable and extremely durable materials, milk jug plastic for instance.

I have those in my buick apollo. 

Agreed. I’m all for helping the EV industry but lets not line the pockets of union bosses. How about a higher incentive for cheaper and used evs regardless of origination and lets allow private importation of new vehicles rather than this 25 year bullshit. 

Unless you walked all the way around the rig to see the "K9" sticker at ONE of the doors as is fairly comon you likely don't actually know one way or the other. Also the radios and cameras in my department's vehicles shut off when the engine stops so unless we're signed off duty we are supposed to leave them running.…

But with a better trunk lid, no beak like the mkIV for the license plate light.

Look at an original 427 and you'll see the same thing, it was actually the shifter from a mustang or galaxie(I can't remember which right off hand) turned backward so you could reach the thing. 

For that price one of these could be easily sorted out to correct the typical issues of kit cars. Factory five makes a good “fun car” if not an accurate replica so have fun with it and be done. 

Personally I detest the practice of civil forfeiture but also have never seen “the police” initiate it as that would be an imposibility. It is the prosecuting attorney that would make a filing to request forfeiture and would simply tell the evidence tech that that “evidence” belongs to him now. Absolutely stupid…

Nobody for the OBS ford F-series. Don’t get me wrong i loved my ranger and its mazda equivalent. We even had one as a backup patrol car that we called the “power ranger” because it always ran. But i simply love my 30 year old behemoth. Mine looks exactly like this and has only 122k on it. 

That’s why Ibought my wife an sr5, adequate capability without the premium cost. Though it is funny to take it on all the same trails as my buddy's rubicon and hear him complain that the grocery getter is doing just fine, that may be down to him choosing lighter trails than his rig is capable of but its still fun.

Not true. My boss has one that he adores. He takes it on the trails in Moab every couple years but refuses to even drive it in the rain, he has an f150 for inclement weather.

Bonneville salt flats anyone? 

If they were to put in take and leave battery stations like the propane tank ones at gas stations/grocery stores it could work much further afield than urban environments.

A canopy for the bed works wonders, just have a method of getting it on and off easy, I hung some ratchet straps from the ceiling of my garage to let me use mine as a truck butalso a pseudo SUV when needed. Also I installed a sliding truck window at the front of the canopy and a bubble seal around it so i have a pass…

Those of us in rural areas and the less wealthy would be disproportionately impacted by that. For example my brother is a school teacher in a rural town and has to commute, often through snow, so he has to have a 4x4 so as it sits now he had to spend more that $250.00 just on fuel to get him to and from work every…

Find him a dime (Datsun 510 1968-1973) and he can go crazy. Something like this.

I think of the early ones as wagons mostly because the remind me of a cartoony version of a late 70s-early 80s american behemoth.
