“No One Wants To Buy The Car Tupac Was Killed In”

Eh, then you are just rewarding these dirtbags trying to profit off the fact someone famous was murdered in the back seat.  Rather they keep having to pay for storage/upkeep. 

Amazing.

So when is? Ever?

Interesting gut feeling you’ve squeezed out here.

“Trust me, bro.”

Can you cite some sources for that?

I’m curious - what, specifically, did Spielberg do that you feel contributed in any way to the accident and the fatalities?

I’m that pedantic neck beard I guess since I got a first gen Tacoma with crank windows in the driveway. But I agree the Maverick is no Ford Ranger. I’ve never considered a Ford product besides the Mustang and the Maverick is a mindblowingly good product because it offers better mpgs than a sedan while seating 5 and…

It’s THAT neat. It gets better gas mileage than a sedan while doing all the the truck things an average truck owner actually uses the truck for. This is literally the one and only truck I’ve ever considered as replacement for a first gen Tacoma.

Ok Subaru it’s time for a new Baja pickup truck. 

They weren’t necessarily wrong for killing off the last Ranger in the early 2010s - sales had fallen off massively and they just weren’t popular anymore in the US. On the other hand, sales of the larger F-series trucks with “big truck” options on them had been climbing more and more, and the introduction of the Raptor…

The fact that all auto makers stopped offering small trucks for the U.S. market, tells you that everyone misunderstood the buying public. I guess when you consider how popular big trucks are (even though more than 90% of owners don’t need them), I could potentially see how execs were fooled.

“We can’t keep up with the demand for a reasonably-size, reasonably-priced pickup!” All the manufacturers (including Ford): “Quick let’s make more oversized, overspec’d $60-80K trucks because that is where the profit is!”

I have no idea how Ford could have foreseen this problem. I mean make a vehicle that is:

It depends on finding the right cookie cutter house in the golf cart only gated community and then hoping the gas hasn’t gelled in the tank from sitting since the week after it was bought.

As a trans person who grew up with Harley parents, I would 100% volunteer for this job. It’d be a hell of a thing to be notorious for, and I might even get a bike out of it 😎

The one time I had to reposes a motorcycle was eye opening. I called the sheriff’s department to let them know where I was going and what I was doing (on behalf of the shop), and they basically said, “Cool, call us if you get shot at.”

I have to admit, the story about the bike being taken completely apart made me LOL.
