I recently drove a rental VW in Switzerland for a few days and had to disable the lane keep assist. The roads are narrow through the mountains and it kept yanking the wheel left and right when I was still in the lane. And there was no permanent disabling it, I had to do it every time I started the car.

Again, why a number pad?

What do you want from a car with a starting price of $16k?

The center display reminds me of a Virtual Boy from the 90's.

Ah, a bear in his natural habitat. A Studebaker. :)

ONLY good car company?

I myself am Slovak and I had no clue we made this. Upon quick search I found that the name roughly translates to “Aviation machinery tractor”. Bonus fact: the headlights are from the Skoda Favorit

I should probably not enable you, Torch, but you should check out government surplus auctions. They’re an absolute gold mine if you like weird, dirt cheap utility vehicles. For instance, this lovely little tug that looks like a cabover kei truck. Who knows, maybe a Talet-30 will show up someday.

The answer is always Volvo. Stately, luxurious, fast, reliable, AWD, well under budget, why wouldn’t you go with a V70R? Also, this is Jalopnik, what did you expect?

What you have here are essentially two-wheel tractors, which are very common throughout Asia and much of the developing world. You are taking a tractor down to its most basic elements: An engine, an axle, and a power take off (PTO). They used to be very popular in the United States for their simplicity and versatility.

Seems like a good opportunity to give Jim a shoutout, for making my Scout’s livery in-game. Incredible!

So... This:

No mention of Porsche’s boosting of the EA831? I’m being pedantic, but the 924 Turbo (931) deserves special mentioning. And I’m also saying this because mine is funner than the 944 I owned previously.

I’ve been restoring a 924 Turbo for the last three years and live pretty close to Mr. Tracy. Does that count for anything?

No, what he needs to do now is get yet another postal Jeep... specifically a 1979 model with the VAG/Porsche engine in it. :D

Is that your scuba gear, or are you just happy to see me?

With this shared heritage, can you at least ENCOURAGE Young Mr. Tracy to put his considerable talent to use restoring old 924s instead of basket-case Jeeps?
