The most interesting info i got from this is that Honda's AT10 can handle at least 350hp/340ft-lbs...

Sorry, should have clarified.  I meant "used as trucks".

I think they’ve mostly gotten taller, to where you can’t reach into the bed, and you can’t see over the hood if you pull up next to one. Blame it on big wheels, needed to house bug brakes, needed to one-up the competition in the towing wars.

I’m not sure how rare these were. I almost bought a used one as a first car when i was a high school senior. I remember it being a Dodge Aries with a malaise green color all over, inside and out. It had a manual trans and a bench seat. I instead opted for a ‘78 Mercury Zephyr because it looked sporty and had a…

More likely, FCA is

I really liked the old TG America. The guys reminded me of high school and college dudes i hung out with. I was surprised when it got cancelled. I tried watching the British TG after that, but i think they were too far gone by then, as they didn’t really click with me.

This article reminds me.... i need to go tie some grapes to the hitch on my co-workers F250...

I used to be a MoPar guy. I liked ‘em and felt they were under-rated. But if FCA ssucceeds in eliminating the Roxor from the U.S., i will turn against them in a heartbeat. The Roxor isn’t hurting them. If anything, it would help them. FCA should form (another) partnership with Mahindra. This should be a good thing for…

Whaddayamean? Chevy Chase outran a bunch of cops in that car in 'Fletch’...

I think one version had a hemi head. What i remember most is that the top version made more than 1 hp per cubic inch displacement, a real feat at the time.

When i saw “Deep Dive”, i thought this was going to be a discussion on how the angular body greatly increases payload and towing capabilities.

You just cut the tow capacity in half when you lost those rear sail panels....

Ah! The "Man DeLorean" debuts!

Since you're writing/blogging about this for part of your job, it can also be a business tax write-off, if applicable.  ;)

Yeah, i stick with red and black for 12v DC, white and black for 120v AC (with red for third-leg runs). Green/bare is always ground. Solid copper for stationary wiring, braided for cables or cords that may move or get moved.

Rode an XL350 quite a bit back in the 80s, great bike for idling down the trails, and still fairly fast on the gravel roads.

The SxS’s don’t work nearly as well on hills, at least not the steep, narrow hills i ride.

That’s perfect! Honda would be foolish not to bring this to the U.S. soon. Retro is huge now, and this would be one of the big players in the retro market. I think it would be a much bigger deal than the return of the Cub.

Always wanted one of these for the farm - figured it would do well in the sand with that fat tire. Wish they wouldn’t have gotten rid of the kickstart.

Jeep needs something like this for their loooooooong Gladiator, so you can take it through the off-road twisties.  Or give us rear-wheel-steering...
