But...the Surf had such promise...

The Ram 3500 is built by Mexicans, so, yeah.

Goddamnit...it’s “...born from jets” and I fucked it up.

Saab...built from...

4th gen...??

Wait - Gen 1 covers the four different bodies for ‘64.5 to ‘73??
How the fuck is the 71-73 beast considered the same gen as a 64.5 - 66?
dimensions (from Wikipedia):
‘71-’73
Wheelbase - 109 in,
Length - 189.5 in
Width - 74.1 in
Height - 50.1 in

I’m not including documentaries, naturally, because Truth In 24 II would wipe all of these off the map...

While Matt Damon seems to have done a pretty terrific portraying Shelby in all the Youtube video I’ve seen (a lot.), and seems to have a good chemistry with Christian Bale, I can’t be the only one who thinks the perfect casting for Shelby would’ve been Matthew McConaughey.- being a charming huckster is in his DNA.

Silly me...I thought that was a Wrangler.

...The Flex was even one of those rare cars that got a mid-cycle refresh that truly updated the car’s look without losing any of its original identity. I actually prefer the newer light-and-grille combination, which remains a unique design for cars today. It’s pretty dramatically different than the original…

2nd generation Supra had an external rear sun shade (that’s not a wing/spoiler.)

What would be the 2020 equivalent of “Eddie Bauer Edition” ?

Mazda MX-30

It’s an awkward looking face, but it’s not alone in being aesthetically-challenged. Besides Lexus, there’s the beak-y Acuras, the toilet-seat grilles on the 2nd gen Pilots...and a lot of generic, forgettables.

Lincoln MKT.
Epic depreciation gets you a low miles loaded 3 row with a pano roof and twin turbo ecoboost. Same bones as Ford’s Flex and Explorer, the Volvo-derived D4 platform.

Dakar Kamaz truck.

You only need about 3 seconds of this...

Scion iQ.
Smart car-ish dimensions and MPG, but with a back seat(!), and Toyota durability.
If it’s good enough for Aston Martin, it’s good enough for pizza delivery.

Ford Fusion Hybrid - 40+ mpg, with mid-sized comfort, modern infotainment connectivity, and domestic car repair bills.
