Quality journalism. Also, I can totally see graduating from a mechanically functional jdm pickup to honkin’ regular cab 8’ft bed 350 sbc with positrac as a legitimate trade up in an agrarian industry.

I’d be lying if I said I saw these puppies on the dollar rack at pep boys and didn’t buy one.

You know... just in case I need to make back time from all the unnecessary food and rest stops from earlier in the trip.

That Ferrari seems like a completely unhinged beast on the in car lap. I love how the suspension seems like it’s working overtime every single second, and how it sounds like it is an eyelash away from spinning up the rear wheels and taking flight at any given instant. Also loved in the “race” how Tiff was able to…

I got a hand impact driver for Christmas a few years ago. That thing has saved my bacon many times over.

Yeow what-a-car! With and without trim.

Definitely worthy of an honorable mention. Holy smokes what a logistical mess.

I would park this car in my bedroom every night, tuck it under its cover, and read it bedtime stories from P.J. O’Rourke

Breaking: John Hennessey bolts large forced induction modules on soon to be blown engine. Enthusiasts pretend to act surprised.

Or resting flat upside down on the handlebars in a silty creek bed is more my style.

For a big enduro... yeah that’s still pretty crazy. I could think of a few railroad crossings around town that this thing would love flying over though.

Jumpin Ducs! Damn the practicality and expense, this is awesome.

I really liked the look of my boss’s 2500HD Z71, but then got a chance to drive it in all of its cylinder deactivation glory. The lack of throttle response is a total wet blanket, and gas mileage wasn’t even that big of an improvement.

Gah! If this was a hardtop with fresh air springs, a recent tranny rebuild, meaty tires and the front end sorted out, then I’d call NP. Those rivets make the convertible top look like a damn boat cover.

Winner winner winner!

My main offense with #6 is ebay. Maybe not as big of a deal with a simple tower bar, but please folks, reward the original designer, not the scumbag who bought the part, wrote down the dimensions, then got a box full of 1:1 copies made in China.

Screw ignition issues stranding me in some godforsaken intersection in the middle of the city. The very thought of riding around with a rusty loose drive chain, dry dirty wheel bearings, lacquer in the gas tank waiting to chip off and clog up the carburetor again, cables cracked and out of adjustment and other parts…

It will be a welcome break from the current stereotype (apparently) back into the old one.

Yep. Where else are you going to find a cheap V8 RWD that’s easy to wrench on with a limitless supply of junkyard parts? I would think the first mod would be changing the headlights out to something more recognizable as more “auction car” and less “active duty.”
