All I can say is that I have always owned small trucks!

125 large just to prove that you've got the smallest dick in the neighborhood.

I've ridden a friend's chopper in the long-ago that was much like Dennis Hopper's, except more fork rake, and longer. It was fine on the freeway, but she was a baitch in traffic with the over enter linkage and drag bars, it took a LOT of arm wresteling until it got rolling. But it was sixties tangerine metalflake with…

Subaru Legacy. In 2001 I bought a 2000 Legacy wagon from a used car lot in Spokane, WA after beating them down BIG bucks for HIGH mileage. It had 999,880 miles on it ... it was eleven MONTHS old! My wife ticked over 100,000 driving it home to Whitefish, MT.

I knew the First Officer, and she gave a detailed debreifing at a meeting of the General Aviation Council of Hawaii. Somewhere in the Kinja archives is my retelling, but I don't know how to find and repost it.

S2T holds 1,100 GALLONS of retardant. Don't know the chemical composition of the red stuff, but water weighs 9.4 (IIRC) lbs per gallon, so closer to 10,000 LBS of payload.

I'm gonna dispute Hawaii. Chicken maybe on Kauai, but statewide I'm sure it's mongoose.

Not if they are cared for correctly. Most Subaru HG failures can be attributed to improper emptying/refilling of coolant. If done incorrectly it can leave an air bubble in the engine, which creates a hot spot, which blows the HG. NEVER, REPEAT NEVER allow a grease monkey quick lube place touch a Subaru, for ANY reason.

This, want ... How many $US F.O.B. A port connecting to Hilo or Kwaihai, HI?

There's a special, personal level in hell waiting for the people who did that. And I don't mean just the 'designer' either. The body beaters who failed to refuse to act out this wretched fantasy are equally guilty, and must also be punished eternally. As for the devil, he can't wait to get his claws on that…

Yano, there's companies in the Philippines that make flatfender Jeep and Jeepney bodies in aluminum or stainless steel. If a guy could source the right doner cars, I'd bet they could churn oit kits cheap ... Hmmmmmm.

Me too, but in glass or plastic, and electric.

Back in the late sixties, living in Redondo Beach, CA, we had a close friend who worked at Mattel. She was a psychologist and studied kids playing with pre-release toys, beta testing them, as it were.

Looks like might be Mojave.

I've owned three Kombis and one Dopplekabine in my past, but none of them looked like that glorious two-tone Zepplin.

I had exactly this truck. Bought in '76 for $1,200.00, and shipped to Kona when I moved from Cali to Hawaii. Served me long and well, and was subsequently replaced with a later model Courier/Mazda long-bed, which I didn't like nearly as well.

Yeah, a faceplant on a paved runway at C-172 lift-off speed of 70 or so could ruin your whole day.

Also bro-proof.
