Whatchu gonna do when Tundramania runs wild over you?!?!

1967 Camaro in Better Off Dead

My ‘06 Sierra crew cab has performed brilliantly as a family vehicle. With a tonneau cover, it is the modern day replacement for an old school giant full size sedan. Take the tonneau cover off, and I can do all kinds of truck things too. Hauling bulk mulch and stone, throwing a pair of scooters in the bed, while also…

Kept my 2011 Mazdaspeed3 and my wife kept her 2006 Xterra.

New cars are undoubtedly better and anyone who disagrees is lying to themselves.

Is this QOTD taken directly from a comment I left 30 minutes before you posted it?

Tangent on the state of Kinja commenting: I noticed that we again have stories that have garnered much interest. I can see that by the hundreds of comments.

In that case, you should be looking at HP/lb. Engines vary widely in weight and displacement doesn’t correspond directly, especially with any sort of forced induction.

A 7 liter LS7 weighs 450 lb, approximately the same as a 3.4L NA Porsche flat 6. Comparing to any turbocharged engine would be even sillier.

100% agree.  The off road trims of the current GM full sized lineup look like they’re going to fall over.

Current issue with the GM platform used for Silverado/Tahoe etc is that the body is too tall vertically AND the track width always seems too narrow so it looks like the body is 10% too big for the chassis.

It’s hard to keep my two jobs separate sometimes.

Seriously. A bunch of people who evidently hate cars but fell ass-backwards into a job at a car site, and a bona fide enthusiast as nutty as the rest of us. Bravo for this piece and the depth of the reporting inside the factory.

Just gradually shave the vehicle down to size until it’s a perfect fit under the bridge. The procrustean way!

He’s gotten worse to Moab.

I know what that feels like. I got wedged in the canal, and the doctor had to use forceps to grab my head and pull me out. I had a lumpy head for the first six months of my life.

And the seat rails bolted to the flat sheet steel, rather than the frame...
