Dear _________

Note to self: live a life worthy of this sort of send off.

Truck Yeah!

I recall an episode of Jay Leno’s Garage woth one of those crazy giant car builds where they guy (somehow) did a clearcoat over the evenly rusted panels.

The piston aviation world suffers fom the same. The swoopy lines maybe make a bit more sense on an airplane, but the style does seem to be ubiquitous.

While not a real truck, my former favorite ride, the Honds Element, had huge rear legroom and slightly elevated seats.

Aapparently Quora does not allow me to copy and paste, and I am too lazy to retype my treatise on the alternative to tipping...

Am I the only one who, upon reading “K-car”, hears, “A nice, reliant auto-mo-bile” play in their head? Thank you BNL.

Please pass me the suntaint lotion.

The Subaru XT begat a pickup truck...

If only they made an AWD version...

Paging Mr. Seinefeld. Mr. Jerry Seinfeld, please pick up the metallic blue courtesy phone. There is a call from someone with a car for next season's CiCGC.

Holy crap.  What a fantastic article.  Nothing against Jalopnik, but you oughta submit this to The Atlantic.

Please put that running gear under a boxy city van with a utilitarian interior.

Sorta like a pre-underbody wash treatment, too.

I miss my Element. Put 350k miles on that tiny beast. Mobile1 every 10k. Just tires, brakes, and the occasional sway bar bushing. I probably should have changed the tranny fluid more than just once at 60k, though... That’s what gave out.

It lists the 100% price as the “transaction price”. So those numbers are based on actual out the door sales prices? Interesting...

I see your 70s car ad andand raise you a 60s airplane ad.

Winna!

Hmm. How about a European delivery program?
