Good thinking here.   My thought is that why is everyone so darn frugal, from the OP to the commenters.  I understand saving a dime, but this is depressing.

It's a Japanese cat, ain't it. Symbiotic.

NP big-time....V12 check, Gated Shifter check, Classic Ferrari design check. Be still my beating heart ❤ 

This whole hitting pause to check the 'bidding process' is a tad conspiracy theory inducing.

I imagine Oshkosh isn’t even close to having the tech or manufacturing ability to go all-electric any time soon. So come out with some ICE ones (though where are the engines sourced from?) and get the ball rolling.  Those carriers are sick of riding around in a goddamn oven.

LAST VEHICLES running on fossil fuels?...WTF. These aren’t meant to last 85 years! I mean I totally understand EVs are coming and coming fast. But the Oshkoshs might see 25 years, might. ALSO- does this Democratic rep have stock in Workhorse or what. 

Funny you say that because a young lady mentioned that exact car as one she desired.  I laughed at her, but she was dead serious.

Exactly, they know more about K-pop and Kardashians than ANY sort of tangible insight on cool cars or what constitutes as cool.

Simply too beat up for that price, ND. Unless you don’t mind looking at weathered leather, scratches in the interior, and just plain tired everything else. Sink a lot of money in her or track use?

I once had to aim my 79' Monte over a big buck that was just randomly lying dead on a country road late at night in the fog.  By the time I saw it it was too late to make a big move so I just steered it so the body went under my car between the wheels, I still remember feeling the head/antlers on the floorboard as the…

Easy - A 1999 Dodge Stratus that I bought from a auction that was literally driven by a Nun. It wasn't a terrible car, but it was the most un-me car I've every owned.  I sold it to my father in-law after three months then bought my only new car (06' Scion Tc 5mt) then breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Great freaking article Jason, bravo....But I have a question, was Kar the 70s version of a startup without the huge financial evaluation. That “funtastics” font/art was wonderfully terrible as well.  Good “me decade” fun for all. 

It was everywhere if you read between the lines.     And this = “Watch the video below for a preview of the tech: (I don’t read Japanese either, but true love transcends language.)“ 

I’m not sure why you are soooo in love with this thing. Aren’t we supposed to be the ones who won’t “let our cold dead hands off the steering wheel”?  Is it just the allure of high technology or what.  I can see times it would be very nice, but never would I be totally psyched for it. Maybe my GenX ass is too old.

Of course the "right" would probably think this is a free pass to cruise on over to that annoying little protest in his/her town and hit the gas, then claim they were scared of said crowds. Also...is that a Camry with a freaking LANDAU top.  Love those.

There will be someone...and that someone is me.  There is NO similarity.

and MY personal favorite....all of them are searching for the perfect child so they can procure their blood for its adrenochrome. (it is unreal to me that people believe that insanity) 

Uh,..were they all adults?  I mean how the fvck do 27 people fit into this thing?  I wonder if the extra weight made it slow as hell, and that was the reason for this tragedy.  Perhaps it was trying to jut across a intersection.

You couldn’t have nailed the poster child car for this any better. It would have been the ultimate...bar none. Like this 83'-

IDK about that,...the four door examples with bigger off-road tires I see are pretty freaking big. Tacomas are also long as hell too.
