And they paid $1500 for it? Daaaaamn!

I just love the shout out you have to my first car, the Ford EXP!

Great article, Torch. Utterly nailed it with the VW Cabrio/Pink Moon ad. With a decent soundtrack, the more recent Matthew McConaughey Lincoln ads (where he isn’t talking) could easily capture the right mood, luxurious car, upscale consumer of said car, appealing driving experience, etc. Also the recent Volvo XC90…

This made me ridiculously happy!

Yessssss!!

So friggin jealous! Growing up in San Diego, me and friends would take my old SJ Cherokee into Baja on surf trips. Never tried to prerun it at speed, but so much fun to follow some course stretches. Good luck Bill!

Right there with you!

Goddammit Torch I totally needed this today! Whatever drugs you take, please put them in the Jalopnik store for the rest of us. Lord knows I need ‘em...bigly!

Not gonna lie. I kinda dig it, especially with the off-road kit.

I am a city planner. A quick glance at the county codes seems to confirm what the local zoning commission seems to have already decided...no special permits required. The pole barn (and any associated wiring, HVAC, foundation, etc.) would have to comply with the applicable Uniform Building Codes, and if there are any…

Well, it beats being America’s Michael Gambon!

This doesn’t surprise me in the least. Hell, back at the beginning of the Carpocalypse of 2008 I was arguing that the Everest/Ranger pair should,be brought to the US to replace the Explorer. Between the Flex and Edge, crossovers seemed adequately represented. Of course I wanted the G Series Aussie Falcon to replace…

Disappointed that it isn’t boxier like the LR3/4. Looks too vanilla like the Disco Sport and Explorer. Maybe if the Camel Trophy crew or someone else pimps one up for overlanding it will look more appropriate. Does anyone have any specs on the dimensions yet? Length in particular? Should be bigger than the Disco…

Torch, normally I’d say you are a goddamn national treasure, but you’ve elevated yourself to international status. Plus, an interpretation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics reads, “give your balls some air” so clearly Opel has science behind them.

“Feeling the Johnson?” Well, I guess this IS Jezebel.

Actually the entire waffle iron surface consists of mini-Wyomings!

Yeah, deep Wyoming roots here. Dad grew up in Hanna and Laramie, the folks met at UW, aunt and uncle in Rawlins, cousin in Wheatland, sister went to UW, her husband’s family is in Lander, and a great aunt in Casper. Made me very happy to see that plate!

The Cheyenne Wyoming plates utterly complete this awesome picture!

Quick! Somebody call Dubai! Their new design center has apparently relocated to Montreal!

EDIT: Turns out the Armada’s big vents are actually functional. That’s cool.
