This is a very good question. How easy/hard is it to find a bent jeweler/watchmaker?
There is hardly a more practical car in existence. It’s so goddamn boring that it circled the earth and came back around to being interesting and amazing.
I too lost my innocence in the back of a big American wagon, mine was a ‘76 Ford Country Squire. Fold that back seat down and you had a huge playground. Also once got freaky in the back seat of an ‘80 Chevy Impala 2-door coupe.
Damn I got a Random Jalopnik feature!! Last time I was featured here 🤌🏼

This story brought back memories of a great Tim Roth film, “The Legend of 1900". Roth plays a man who was born below decks on a cruise ship of its time, raised onboard and became a world class pianist on the ship. Spent his entire life on the ship.

Frankly, a LSD, skids plates and a bit more ground clearance is all most people need to get a bit more outdoorsy. The target market for the “overlanding look” is people who want to drive on some dirt roads and camp off the grid...... No one buying a timberline is taking it to MOAB and running rock crawling trails.
Not wearing a seat belt in that hypothetical would still be 100% stupid, though, since there’s an absolutely miniscule chance of coming to harm because you put it on, just like there’s an absolutely miniscule chance of coming to harm because you got vaccinated.
