Mexico beat you to it....

What a perfect vehicle for all of those NJ safaris you always hear about.

Man, if only we could find a way to use the rest of the cow for something.

Look for a reputable brand, a tire that fits your intended use, and that reviews aren’t bad on. If you want more insight, ask a tire tech at a place that sells that brand. They know which ones come back, which ones don’t balance well, and which ones are out of round.

What is the coroner’s vehicle in that CGI vid? Looks a bit Adams Family.

Ford COPs: there doesn’t appear to be any difference in longevity between the cheap ones and the expensive ones.

And all of your other needs, in fact.

The decent tires that are on sale. Seriously, tires go on sale all the time. Pep Boys does the 4th tire free thing, Walmart does tire deals on black friday, Simple Tire always has stuff discounted, and so does Amazon.

I can’t tell if you are trolling or just really, horribly bad at math.

A few comments:

Indeed, cost of ownership of a pink money hole is usually very high. Better to rent when desired.

Excellent observation.

We didn’t really have any maintenance or repair issues with ours, but being a gas engine it would cause crude oil futures to spike every time we turned it on.

bumper to dumper, you mean?

We had an almost identical one in green when I was a teenager, but it was a gas, not a diesel. It was also shit to drive. It drove pretty much like one would expect an old dump truck to drive. I really don’t recommend it for pleasure cruising.

You’ve got it backwards, I was in Sandusky, not the other way around.

FYI: The University of Michigan built the first “driverless car ready” city, not just a measly highway... Just in case you were wondering...

1. There have been police (in OH, of course) who have testified to a vehicle speeding because of how fast it sounded going past them. Point being, police, like all of us, will bullshit you.

Union County isn’t anywhere near Cedar Point.

There used to be attractive aftermarket options, but they have all gone away, apparently.
