I don’t want this car... I NEED this car.

That would be a tie between the 1982 Ford Granada and the 1979 Ford Fairmont. Both were 200ci inline-six cars with automatics. Both were perpetually broken, the Fairmont was totalled in a rollover, and the Granada languished in the front yard until I was in high school after they bought something else when it’s oil…

No, they’re not. The 4Runner, GX, and Landcruiser Prado that they’re based on are built in Japan on fully-boxed frames with coil springs all around.

V8 stickshift 10th-gen F150 with less than 200k on the odometer and priced under $10k?

It was for this truck, I ran the VIN when I worked at a GMC/Buick/Cadillac dealership to verify it. I REALLY should have kept that truck.

I’ll argue the GMC/Chevy one all day.
