Meh

You my friend, have never seen a truck fully abused by contractors and utility workers!

It may also have something to do with that specific region also having the largest populations of indigenous peoples. So it makes sense that they still would have a large amount of ancestry in contrast to more sparsely populated areas of North America.

Bingo

And quite thoroughly liquidated and subdued by the Conquistadors at that. In fact, some of the worst crimes against the original inhabitants of North America were perpetrated by the Spanish. 

A tailgate that doesn't slam down hard when you open it. It is dampened.

The last manual Jeep I had with a 3.6 was absolutely terrible at towing. Not stability wise, but power wise. Could barely do highway speeds with a 3000lb boat out back, and definitely not in 6th gear. Scared the shit out of me.

Two thoughts:

Agreed. This is more "restomod" than anything. 

Dang, holds twice as much fuel as a new Civic!

Look at all them sexy American vehicles in that cover photo. Makes me proud.

It’s too bad you can’t star articles anymore.

Agreed. Maybe it depends on what people are familiar with.

Except they don’t fare so well in crash tests

Yeah! Pulled ~430whp last summer. Started to get too much blow by on the stock block, so it's coming out shortly for new pistons, rods, and full rebuild. Then shooting for a comfortable ~450whp reliably. 

Haha, yes. I don’t often take pictures of completed projects, so not having a front fascia on doesn’t help with recognition.

I don’t know why. I’ve had it for 9 years, since I drove it off the lot. I barely drive it, but I can’t get rid of it nor would I want to. I keep making it faster. I felt like the 3.8 should have a turbo, so I put one on. I keep improving on the idea of what it is, a basic rear wheel drive manual GT coupe.

Just... yes. 

That’s a similar plot to that recent movie “LIFE” about awakening some Martian bacteria that, wouldn’t you know it, KILLS EVERYONE.

Lol you can take bedbugs and the smell of feces instead.
