I’ve seen much anti-truck rhetoric on Jalopnik as of late. It’s not relegated to this truck. Now, defending this particular truck is probably not the hill to die on for anyone who wants to highlight what appears to be a growing anti-truck sentiment among the Jalopnik commentariat. That said, we’re not discussing a…

These are not serious people. Don’t even give them the time of day.

I’m going to stand up for some truth right now. Otherwise, I’d be complicit in a growing pile of particularly odorous BS. Plus, I’ll be in the grays forever anyway, so IDAF how much self-righteous, sanctimonious haterade rains down upon me for the following. I really do already know exactly and everything all y’all…

We had a Datsun pickup like this one, same vintage in red. The five-barrel odometer had rolled over who knows how many times. Rust killed that pickup. The guy from the junkyard that ultimately took it off our hands later told us they tried to kill the engine, but gave up before it did.

The websites formerly known collectively as Gawker are a fascinating echo chamber of bile from the left wing. You are absolutely correct. At this point, these lockdowns are unsustainable and unnecessary. Other countries are doing it better. Ironically, the people most vocal and self-righteous about how poorly our…

Oh, boy. Guess we’d better ban Jeep Wranglers now. Civilians have driven them and the vehicles’ direct ancestors for 70 years or so, but that doesn’t matter. We’re woke, baby, and soon — very, very soon — we’ll finally make life so safe, that life won’t be worth living anymore. Yeah!

Exactly. It does not appear that Ford’s C-suite deserves this much compensation. However, the issue for the company is a paltry profit and what appears to be nearly unnavigable debt. The entire executive team could work for free. Perhaps they should, to show solidarity for companywide morale. This would still be…

The buyer needs to add another couple grand to the price for the pricey, complicated head gasket repair, or the seller needs to take this Outback out back to shoot it dead.

The actual numbers for this overhyped pandemic are really making the sky-is-falling our-self-proclaimed betters such as yourself look pretty silly.

Good correction — it’s a cab-forward, not cab-over, driving position.

So why should the Corvair have shouldered the brunt of the criticism? The best you can say about Nadler is that he was disingenuous. Was it his unwarranted bias toward GM in particular? Who knows?

Aaaaaannnnd.... nowhere in the comments section do we see anything regarding whether this particular governor’s actions, in a non-hot spot state, are justified or in sound rationale commensurate to the threat in her region. Also, she pulled some bullshit earlier, a couple weeks ago, and had to backtrack. Sigh... what…

Spoken just like a good little lefty. Che would like you. And that’s good, cuz if he didn’t — say, if you were gay, black, or disagreed with his politics — he’d have you killed. Actually, in your case, it might not be too bad of an outcome. I know. I know. I’m speaking in tangential abstractions your feeble ego and…

That’s solid logic if I ever saw it. I see fucking morons, but elsewhere. :-)

I voted NP. It’s the perfect work truck for what-the-hell-why-not money — especially as a weekend hauler. I live in the Northeast on a one-sixth-mile driveway. If the advertised vehicle had 4x4, I’d be all over it and eventually swap in a V8 and beef up the gearbox and rear diff once (and if... a bit if) this V6 every…

It’s an uncommonly clean, apparently well-cared-for example of a row-your-own big Bimmer predating the brand’s descent into madness, silliness, and unreliableness. That is one nicely preserved specimen. It’s prices about $5K too high. CP

Could this be why GM “stupidly” specified a poorly engineered design for the head studs? They figured nobody would need a new Caddy any time soon. Of course, that's a shitty way to rebuild a brand.

ANNNNNND... no 4x4, either.

I wonder whether that joke from a week or so ago about unwittingly coming home with a gender other than the one you expected, would receive the same heat this time? After all, just as with the Saturn Sky versus Lamborghini, it is a matter of subjectivity as to whether a BMW is better than a Hornet, if you wanted a…

At least this one has a manual tranny and you know what’s going home with you (obscure, indirect reference to the heated exchanges in that faux Lambo’s comment section intended).
