I know!! That article on the GW font was compelling automotive journalism! :D

Tour-X is cancelled.

+1 for Corvair and the idea that it could be a full line of EVs; sedan, wagon, van and truck, jut like the good old days.

I have the opposite problem. Can’t find my car after two SUV/Pickups park on either side.

Despite the evidence of “Seinfeld” S8 Ep.16 (the 150th episode) people or organizations that “adopt” a highway do not actually have to keep it clean. They pay a fee to the DOT to offset the costs of (often) work-release prisoners who pick up the trash.

And EV-1 /= EV1

I purchased my 64 Ford Falcon Club Wagon with a salvage title, because I bought it from a salvage yard in AZ. Their explanation was that they converted all of their vehicles to salvage titles, so they could part them out. Certain vehicles were offered for sale whole, such as mine, if they were still road worthy.…

Wow, I am also a survivor of both a Festiva and a Pinto. I wasn’t really embarrassed to drive either car. (The Festiva was my first new car, the Pinto was the family second car in my high school days.)

came here to say Telluride or Palisade as reasonable choices.

All of these suggestions are Jalop and a refreshing change from last week’s very realistic and reasonable suggestions :)

“hold my warm beer”

I had  72 Ford pickup that I drove from WI to AZ, no tailgate and a cable to hold the sides of the bed in place. Still, that 300 6 cyl  was a beast that would not die. I sold to a guy who was going to use it for his firewood business. Still much cheaper than renting a moving van. Ah, to be 22 and fearless again!

They call it “editing” /s

My first 7-8 cars were sketchy as F, but the one with the most anxiety was my 1964 Falcon Club Wagon. Amateur engine rebuild, brakes, clutch, and everything else I needed to fix on a junkyard salvage title van. I took off from AZ for WI in January, 3 weeks out of emergency appendectomy surgery. The driver was just as…

Keep in mind, with regard to “light truck sales” that the SUV (and even the 4-door pickup) is the cultural heir to the station wagon and mini-van. They have become, in many cases the jack of all trades vehicle that can fulfill every function needed by the 21st century family.

For a quick moment I thought an ice storm had hit the Detroit Sno-Bronco.

Agreed on your first sentence. I don’t mind multi-day road trips, I grew up in the “way-back” of the family station wagon that serviced all but one of my childhood vacations. And yes, we broke in the middle of nowhere Colorado and had to wait a day for parts to come from Denver in the pre-cell phone days. Good luck on…

I’d love to be able to drive to Florida this year, my last trip down there got cut short.

My last overseas trip was Dublin in 2019, with several days of bus trips around the island.

Heathen! Heretic! Blasphemer!
