The modern leather-lined crew-cab pickup truck. It’s neither a good “car” nor a very good truck, except, maybe, for towing. It’s too big, too inefficient, handles poorly because of the high center of gravity, and doesn’t offer secure, weatherproof storage (in its bed). If I had to narrow it down to one, it would be

NP, purely from a business perspective. Limos are not cheap (to buy) and this should stay booked.

Next up will be the option of a fully-enclosed bed, aka a “trunk” and the sedan/limousine will have come full circle.

Everything sells . . . eventually, when the price reaches what one buyer is willing to pay . . .

Miles or dollars? ;-)

We have curbs for drainage. Raised intersections screw up drainage. Any infrastructure should be built to accommodate/”prioritize” the majority of users, not just a few on the fringes (as pedestrians often are).

While it’s apparently well detailed and nicely maintained, it’s still a quarter century old with over 200,000 miles.  $30K is simply too big of an ask.  ND

A truly basic compact pickup from the 1980s into turn of the century. A Ranger, Toyota or Mitsubishi/Dodge single cab with an unbreakable 4-banger and a bed that doesn’t require a stepstool to access.

For half the price, it’d be a fun toy.  For $25K, it’s way overpriced/”but I did try to sell it, hon.”

I’m guessing that it belongs to a former Air Force/retired airline pilot. A classic garage queen that is as described in the ad. The only question is it’s current value . . . and I voted ND.  It’s a forgetable vehicle that has more sentimental value than anything else.

I was originally going to go with the Chevy Express full-size van, but then decided that the Cadillac Escalade is the epitome of American panache and conspicuous consumption, especially the V model.

So, the car’s in rural redneck Missouri and it’s being offered to folks in Alabama . . . Roll Tide, instead of coal?!

John Elway’s name has been associated with dealerships for at least three decades . . .

There’s a Chrysler guy, near me, with 2 PT Cruisers and a RAM pickup in his driveway.

$20,000 - $30,000 would buy them a whole new roof. Being generous, let’s say $2,000 to fix two ceilings and $8,000 to fix the floor in one room. That’s still half of what they’re asking. I’ll go out on a limb and guess that the law firm is working on a contingency basis . . .

I dunno. It occupies a strange space. It’s not concours, but it’s nice enough. I voted ND mostly for the pretentious dealer presentation along with the out-of-state plate.

Selling a vehicle as a police-spec vehicle should assume that they’ll “be subject to severe operating conditions”.  Plus, Dodge has had decades of selling police-spec vehicles to government contracts.  It just sounds like too many corners were cut, trying to keep costs in check, and it caught up with them.

FAFO . . .

But what it could work for, well, would be a new and improved custom Domino’s delivery vehicle . . .
