It’s not so much that they’re driving on the beach, it’s what they’re driving and how and where they’re driving. There’s no consensus on size, but there is agreement that visibility can be a challenge - https://www.government-fleet.com/279672/beach-patrol-vehicles-what-to-know-before-you-buy and https://www.gainesville…

I see far more Suburbans and Yukons as suburban mom-mobiles while Dad’s driving the crew-cab pickup.

Put that drivetrain into the HR-V and Honda would have a real winner!

“18 Crosstrek - the seamless AWD.  I/we bought it for the color (orange), comfortable ride (for its size), and its good looks and ride height.  AWD was part of the deal, but it’s proved to be surprisingly useful, more than once.

It depends on Dad’s age. Ford F-150. Mercury Marquis. Full-size Cadillac, Lincoln, or Lexus sedan. Camaro or Mustang. But the ultimate stereotype would be a Harley-Davidson dresser or a Honda Gold Wing.

Photos and a description that don’t match are always a red flag. (How hard is it whip out your smart phone and snap a few?) But even if things matched, here, that price is CP, so ND.

My take is that it’s less about “the car” and the alleged lack of “places” and way more about life shifting to communicating electronically instead of face-to-face. How many times have you been in a restaurant (a classic “third place”) and everyone at a table was glued to their phone?!

. . . and a meter and wifi? Or, are you assuming “free"?!

. . . assuming the billing part of the equation can be figured out . . .

I dunno. The numbers seem “right”, including the depreciation curve, but why is this on craigslist and not on BAT or Cars and Bids? Maybe, it’s another “Honey, I tried . . .”?  NP, I guess (waaay outside my budget . . .)

Chrysler (Dodge Intrepid?) headlights on UPS vans.

The question is, literally, “Will this buff out”?!  Still, ND, at this price.

Aren’t all DC batteries, by definition, “bipolar”?

Yes, location matters, these won’t last long in high-crime neighborhoods, but neither will the nice cars, trying to charge. The bigger issue will be the retractable cord failing, either up or down, and getting them fixed.

Given that European voltage is higher than in the USA, DIY cords work, over there.

Mad Jeeps ;-)

Always good looking cars, but too rich for a C&C conversation piece - N.D.

The difference is that today’s luxury pickups still have a bed that you can haul manure in. The Blackwood turned their bed into an oversized trunk, taking it from “truck” to “car”.

The stupidity wasn’t in the cover, the stupidity was in the “finished” bed. Adding carpet and removing a functional tailgate killed most of the truck’s hauling ability. It may have been good for towing, but so was/is the Navigator. (The Blackwood was able to tow 200 more pounds, and its wheelbase was 20" longer, but…

Ford’s Model T - “Any color you want, as long as it’s black . . .”
