Age aside, this isn’t too bad for a classic truck with a hair less than 100k miles. And it’s in remarkably good shape to boot. I’d much rather have something like this from an age before trucks became huge, masculinity crisis, Freightliner imposters. If you’re just looking for something to do occasional truck duties

I’m not even a truck guy and I like this truck. And 1994 is in that sweet spot between modern enough to be reliable and easy to deal with but not overloaded with tech. Nice Price all day.

80s as well...Karate Kid, Better Off Dead, etc.

True, I get the impression the British press don’t like that JS is calculated risk/defence. They’d prefer racing moves, wheel to wheel nail biting stuff, as would most people. But words like ruthless, calculated are better than wreckless, danger etc..

The length of the loan is forever, because the customer is going to do the same thing again long before it’s paid off.

I can guarantee that someone in this guy’s friend or work circle recently insulted his GV80 by calling it an overpriced Hyundai sometime in the past 2 weeks, and calling him poor.

Driven a few GV80's before. The seats are fine, but I find that it steers like the Evergiven and rolls like a 15' sailboat in 3' swells.

I can’t imagine how you could not determine that a vehicle didn’t fit you on an extended test drive. Unless you didn’t bother to do one. Which would make you an idiot.

That’s about $1000 more than my mortgage....  (And my car payments are currently $0.)  I can’t even imagine that level of financial irresponsibility.  

ND just not a desirable vehicle

Purists scoff, but the TR8 is the hairy-chested sports car that the TR6 always aspired to be. And I say that as a guy who owned a TR6.

That’s a great way to put it. My favorite car ever is the Citroën DS, which is kind of the epitome of “oh my god it looks like a UFO, that’s real?!” That same feeling is why I like the Cadillac Celestiq so much, and the stuff the Hyundai brands are doing

There’s also the fact that in 1961, the original E-Type looked like a spaceship. That, more then anything, connects this to the E-Type. The fact that it’s a classic now that they’ve been clinging to almost does it a disservice.

Perhaps not completely crazy but you’re straining really hard to make it seem that a brutalist design looks like what Enzo Ferrari is reported to have called the most beautiful car ever made. Both cars are fastback coupes with long hoods but proportions aren’t anything alike. The E Type is sinuous, with distinct

I’m sure the price was depressed by the not-for-everybody (though conceivably original; Flare Yellow?) color choice. With the white two-tone, was the original owner or the restorer a banana importer or perhaps an heir to the Twinkie fortune?

That would be great if you were literally the only one needing biodiesel and only drove very occasionally. Biodiesel is great in that after it gets done clogging our arteries it gets burnt so as to choke us as well! Yay!

Ah, I forgot about those. I should buy one of those conversions one day just to see what it’s like! :)

Buc-ee’s is absolutely run by terrible people, but as an honest question, is there a gas station chain that isn’t run by ghouls of some sort? 

The best part of that line in the story is that the “never landed from his jump” hyperlink goes to a story about a skydiving plane that crashed on a Mexican beach.  How that relates to the FBI’s thinking that he “never landed from his jump” is anyone’s guess.  Never change Jalopnik, never change.

When you also consider the $100-ish per season to re-mount and balance, even a quality set of new wheels would pay for itself in five years.
