Yes. I am a believer in the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid). To think this tiny probe lasted this time in unknown territory with no issues is amazing, with still more life left. Even the cars made in the 70s were tanks compared to the ones today! 

Build quality was lousy back then. They put three or four hubcaps on every wheel, expecting you to lose one on every corner, so you’d arrive with some still attached.

Porn.

The forehead works, too. At least on Deloreans in 1955.

Percussive maintenance is not a myth!

What’s really amazing is that programmers back then were able to perform so much with a couple thousand lines of code. Today, we need 40,000 lines of code to perform the same functions. Remember when computers were limited to 64K of memory?

In California any car made after 1975(?) must pass a annual emissions test and must have all the smog equipment on it. They are draconian about it.

900k worth of exclusivity.

I agree. Change the gold to carbon fiber and you have a legitimate styling upgrade to the aging regular model.

My initial knee-jerk reaction was to hate it, but it’s really grown on me, especially the “floating” taillights and hewn-from-copper aesthetic in the rear.

Is this where baby cars come from?

I’d like to protest to this comment on account of Marisa Tomei can definitely still get it

Or they wanted to compare the Jeep to cars with similar build quality.

Have you seen Marisa Tomei lately? She has aged like fine wine. 

Well, I’m off to go look at TVRs now.

I thought the dipstick in BMWs was located in the drivers seat?

The evaporated rust water stains around the air intake tells me that there’s a strong possibility the thing has been either submerged or otherwise ruined by water. I also see lots of loose dangly wires inside where stuff has been removed. Given that a radio knob for one of these is probably $5,000 I’d say its likely…
