Did any manufacturers provide a name for their vehicle? NGDV seems no sillier than “LLV” (even though that moniker has proven surprisingly accurate!)

Perhaps not all LLVs will be replaced with this vehicle? My mail is delivered to a community mail room in my building by an LLV. There is no need for this, as the delivery person drives from the post office to the building. He does his final sort in our mail room. My mail could be delivered with any cargo van or…

Egads, this cries out for a Fancy Kristen byline.:(

Shilling:

The USPS coined the term Next Generation Delivery Vehicle, not Oshkosh.

The actual number is much smaller:

These are all perfectly reasonable suggestions!! Are we becoming “The Drive” now? Not one JDM recco? No ridiculous Paos or Nissan S Cargo Vans?

Then Apple uses one of your songs in a commercial, royalties flow like wine and you blow it all to resurrect the car of your glory days.

I bought a set of Falken tires 1 1/2 years ago and have been quite happy. They are quieter on the road than the original Goodyears and didn’t let me down on my winter trip to Green Bay. But with enough WI winters behind me in very crappy RWD vans, I learned a bit about winter driving.

Old Ragtop, Falcon, Galaxie, etc.

I love trucks, I’ll drive my Dad’s older Colorado when I go visit. I’ve only had 2 in my life, I bought a cheap old rusty pickup when I needed to move and tow my even older van behind it. I bought a new Ridgeline when I decide I was going to renovate my house, as I envisioned multiple Home Depot runs, dump runs, etc.…

Unlike the EU, Uncle Sam won’t let us tow as much or sometimes at all with vehicles similar in size and power to EU vehicles.Some of us have done it anyway. (Me, Festiva with a trailer, and all the crazy things Mercedes Streeter has done!)

Reverse:

My Ford Festiva loaded up with a roof rack for skis, 2 burly dudes, and gear packed in the back for a week-long tour of Colorado. The load had pushed fuel mileage waaay down! It was the middle of the night in Nebraska, my brother was driving and wasn’t familiar with the level of E. Luckily, we had his bag phone,…

Also, what’s up with the weird rear wheel in the last pic? It looks like it’s sticking out from the car, but matches up with the line on the garage floor.

88 Festiva was my first new car, I can’t believe there are any still running. Drove that little Kia into oblivion until the engine started smoking like a diesel. 14 years later I decided I missed it so much I bought the smallest car I could find. (see user name)
