The dream is always the same..

Back wen my family had only 4 siblings .. we had a giant ‘66 Mercury wagon. Memories .. getting carsick in the ‘way back’ with its rear-facing seats, good times.

Present owner wanted a suburban to roll around the mall, I guess.. but was stuck with this F-150.. so decided to mod it until it had the desired features.

Weird. That very car is for sale in my area:

Repair costs will be high for this model year especially. I mean, just look at the flux capacitor, you can see from the pictures that the shifters of the lifters are all gunked up:

Still a thing; Elk Lake Resort here in central Oregon has a fleet of suburbans thusly equipped:

More like a Ken doll come to life .. amirite?

OR.. or..

Evaluating...

One of my colleagues works for a company that manufactures portable natural gas pumping units; they take municipal pressure gas (~5 psi) and compress it to 4500 psi to fill the tank of fleet vehicles.

Thought the bulging hood was necessary to accommodate large engine parts that would not fit .. but picture with hood lifted shows no such parts..

This quote about sums it up:

Buy him the mug:

“..wife’s internal monkey-self”

“..the mechanism for the top is broken, making its actuation an Armstrong event”

What is the analysis of value?

I prefer ‘temporary measure’ to describe the band-aids holding together the critical life-safety mechanical elements of my existence.

something.. something.. Big Wiper .. blah.. blah

David, please explain - why you have to register the vehicle in Germany?

Also similar to Nissan Maxima of that era
