I’ve felt that manufacturers stopped adding hatchbacks and wagons so those cars wouldn’t steal sales from SUV’s. I could carry 2x4's in my old Escort hatchback, now I get to buy a truck or SUV to do that very thing. 

As an official old fart squarely in the demographis of Buick I say “debauch this and the horse it rode in on”. 

I once owned a Series IIa, which was nowhere near 600HP. Might have been 60HP on those days when Lucas was in a good enough mood to fire the plugs in a spritely manner. And now I can’t afford those as they are another vehicle that went through the roof price wise, along with Range Rover classics. I need a bubble for…

My heavens that V10 is a thirsty bitch on the best of days. TheCummins was always the right answer. 

Trumpets actually, at least bike wise.

yep another car I missed out on, as the depressed market for old water cooled Porsches led me to believe I could pick one up cheap whenever I wanted. NP on this one, and watch the prices keep picking up like everything else Porsche. Next week we’ll be fighting over the rusty bones of ragged 924's. 

These were cool in 1984. So were parachute pants. Styles change, interests change, my desire to own one of these has changed. Even crack pipes have changed since then.

Back when this truck was new I was a freshly minted high school grad who would have loved one of these very trucks. Back then they were as hot as I was. Now we are both grumpy old mmen and I’m not giving that crack pie another beer out of my fridge. 

I have bought a rental car. Other than the tires being flatspotted in the back it gave my daughter not a moment of trouble. The only brand I wouldn’t buy as a rental would be a Nissan but I wouldn’t buy one of those under any circumstances.

I once owned a diesel car from the mid-80's, a Escort, that while painfully slow and took forever to warm the cabin on -20 AK mornings di regularly 50 mpg and once hit 58. If this thing only got 40 it was way behind the times back then. Not even sure it’s as good as crack pipe, mght be rehab ibuprofen.

Nice little time capsule from when the Big 3 could build sensible decent cars. But as much as I love the old straight 6 I think this car needs a modern drivetrain and disk brakes up front and then it’ll drive happily forever.

Don’t most dealers make the majority of their money on service and used cars? The new cars get all the attention but the average profit isn’t what people think it is. Used cars though, the delaer gets too set the price on both ends of the deal. And service is always open.

They were a good little truck as a 2x4. Mine was a King Cab and had all the power needed for the then 55mph speed limits.

My first brand new vehicle was the 2WD version of this truck, as a 2x4 driver in AK I learned the art of the quick tire chain install, the 2x4 version with the NAP-Z dual plugged 4 got 35 mpg on the highway. It took me to work, hunting, fishing and carrying dirt bikes. I recall driving down a washboard road and the…

Beautiful car, far too much hay. CP

If you get a chance, get a test ride on an Indian even if it’s not your normal style of bike. It’s a whole different animal than the usual American bikes, even Victory, which I wasn’t impressed with either.

“we need your Land Rover”

If  the MoCo tries to change course, I don’t know if the dealers will follow or rebel. Asking them to change their focus from the same stuff they’ve built those huge dealerships selling to newer products their base customers are not going to be interested in is going to take some tough sell and the dealers are going…

Not affiliated with Polaris in any way, but have been riding for 45 years and in that entire time have never been impressed with the HD product line because EVERYONE makes better bikes. I’ve test ridden Harleys and test ridden the new Indian. It’s not even fucking close. Indian is where HD should have been a couple…

That’s a tank of gas and 2 Americans
