As long as it’s one of the non-spontaneously combusting Souls, you’re correct:

That’s exactly what I thought for “farm truck.” You can pick up the ones that aren’t street legal at ironplanet for a song.

Although they’re calling it a Ranger, it sure looks like a Sport Trac.

+1 on ecoboost Flex. If he’s rolling with two car seats, I don’t really think his ex will allow him to roll in some 40+ year old car with her kids? THAT won’t lead to any fights at the designated exchange spot and eventually more lawyer’s fees fighting the modification of the child custody agreement.

Just build the Death Star while you’re at it. 

Get fresh tires. Tires degrade because of heat and time. Sometimes, they’re sitting in warehouses in significant heat and you’ve got people not practicing FIFO inventory management. You get a set of tires that’s been sitting in a warehouse at the back of the line for a long time, you’re getting a tire that’s had some…

From the original article- someone bring the popcorn:

Right choice, wrong Land Cruiser. Go for the Prado in the GX 460 guise and you’re getting either a new base one or a very well equipped used one for mid 40's as a CPO.  

Coal?  Shoot, let’s go back to whale oil.  I’m all in on buying a Chrysler Pequod that gets one humpback per mile. 

Ever ride a really old train and have to use the bathroom?  Let’s say you can get a really good view of the track from the toilet.  I’m sure the car was similar.  

Wonder how tariffs would impact european delivery programs?  You’re buying an import, but you’re not importing a new car, you’re importing a used car, which has always been the thing that caused the savings.  Now, if you’ve got a 25% tariff on top of that, you’re looking at serious savings.  

Some airports the price is right to fly and insanely cheap (basically those with at least two professional sports teams or lots of theme parks/casinos). Others, not so much. I was looking to fly from Tampa to Norfolk, Va and was price shopping a trip to Europe at the same time. It cost more to fly to Virginia than…

If I were in the market for a car, I’d buy one of these in a heartbeat, though not for a teen driver. I bought a left over ‘09 G37 for the wife in early ‘10 for a song and it was a great car- quick, comfy and a blast to drive for the price point. We only got rid of it because she went to company cars. I miss that car.

The T-800 commented “I’ll be back.”

Sure. Drive the JFK death car in Texas.  Nothing creepy about that. 

A lot of the suits did name the RV manufacturers, because they were selling the whole component vehicles to consumers.  But Goodyear was selling the tire to those manufacturers as an OEM tire, even though they knew it was inappropriate for the speed/load that would be necessary for RV usage.

Appreciate the work you’re doing bringing this out, but you have used the term “blow out” here and “tread separation” in other articles.  Which was it for this incident?  A sidewall “blow out” is a vastly different incident than a tread/belt separation.  The G159 was known for having tread separations, not sidewall…

Shoulda worn his brown pants.
