The Taurus SHO came with a 60 degree 32V V8, sounds like a normal V8.

My dad used his on his property, and did tractor rides up until he passed 10 years ago....

I can see that horrible interior color. I think they called it “saddle.” They did vinyl tops and rub strips and even wheels in that same color, and they would pair it with red, navy, even green. Absolutely hideous.

That’s exactly what this would be for me - at minimum the interior and drivetrain would have to go and almost 7 grand for having to pitch pretty much all but the body is way too much money.

They are literally blinded by glare, so they don’t really know where they’re going, I imagine they’re just panic-leaping and they also don’t expect that the light is something moving faster than any predator they’ve evolved to deal with. They have wide angle vision, too, so they can be blinded at a greater range of…

Well to be fair at least when it comes to deer, I read somewhere that supposedly the reason they freeze up at night is because of people using high beams, it makes them freeze up, but they are less likely to do it when using regular headlights.

The ‘81-82 style was known among LUV fans as the “2nd generation LUV”. I still have my ‘83 diesel Isuzu P’UP. Isuzu began selling these in ‘81 but continued through ‘87.

They sure do!

Fair criticism. But yes, off the lot this is the most capable mid-size pickup off-road.

The 79-81 Dodge St. Regis, Plymouth Gran Fury, Chrysler Newport and New Yorker were the last full sized Mopars. They were based on the R body platform which had bits from the B-body mid size cars like the Magnum/Cordoba. After they were dropped in 81 due to slow sales and Iacocca wanting to focus more on K based cars t…

Along with the 79-81 Dodge St. Regis. The town where I grew up had the police version of them. For some reason they propped open the glass covers. 

I’ve had multiple friends with F150's or Silverado’s tell me they wish they had something else to daily drive.

Road tripping in my sister’s Expedition is fatiguing. 

Good news! - the 9th-gen V6 Accord Coupes with row-your-own gearboxes doesn’t have VCM, only the autos. I have one and it’s definitely a fun but very reliable beast.

They re-trademarked the Stout name recently didn’t they?
I’d go crazy for a TNGA-K based pickup.
The Maverick is really tempting, but In the past decade I’ve had such bad experiences with Ford’s (car) products that I wouldn’t ever actually buy one

My wife just finished a 6 month contract in Boston. Temps were getting pretty high when she left earlier this month, and her apartment didn’t have any A/C to speak of.

I mean, the chicken tax is still a thing right? So Mitsu would have to build an entirely new line for this to make it even close to affordable? This seems like a  less than zero chance type of thing.

Speed wasn’t responsible for accidents, but speed differentials were!

Try Reddit, search for bay bridge, it’s there. I’m not posting it from work, you figure it out.
