That was on the Patagonia special, one of the best they made;

Favorite moment by a long shot.

The EV conversions actually look like a great idea to me. But if it was me choosing a vehicle to convert, I’d pick a malaise-era land yacht like this:

I LOVE that Cummins Gallardo. That’s the kind of engine swap you do just for the silly factor. Find a wrecked Lamborghini on Copart, find a wrecked Cummins truck, then make them kiss. Nobody would expect a Gallardo to sound like a school bus. Bonus points if you add a stack with a flapper on it. Oh, and you need…

*Shrug* I have a Hummer EV and I love it, even better if I had been “cursed” with it instead of having to buy it.  I’m a happy “jackass”.

While I’m not familiar with the off-roading scene in Moab, if it is anything like where I grew up it can be summarized thusly:

Always get the insurance. Always. Sooner or later you’ll need it, and you’ll be really glad you had it. One incident will likely cover all the costs have and will ever spend on rental insurance and then some.

The BMW iX isn’t selling because it’s absolutely heinous to look at. It’s no surprise that people in the market for a $90k EV would prefer it didn’t resemble a naked mole rat or Winifred Sanderson from Hocus Pocus.

I bet you could talk this grandpa-owned Lincoln Mark VIII down to $5k.

Mahwah or the Highwah, Klaus!

For me and my needs the best was a VW Alltrack. Its an AWD wagon that can be had with a manual or a great DSG auto. Its got lots of cargo space but its a relatively lightweight wagon at about 3500lbs. It has a lot of modifications that can be made if you so desire. So i can make it into a better handling performance…

Hmmm. my power is down.  It’s like the intake is constricted.

Looks like someone finally cashed in their Pepsi points. 

Seems that many people don’t understand what “unkillable car” means.

Cheap 80s/90s GM cars will run like crap for longer than most cars will run at all.

Here is my two for unkillable. My 2001 Chevy Suburban 5.3L 2wd and my 1960 VW Beetle just being brought back from a 10 year slumber with a 40 hp engine still humming. 

I’d have to agree. Granted my ‘68 only has 30k miles, but I start her up twice a year and she fires up like a swiss watch every time

Hilux is the right answer.

I’m going to go with a legend that everyone forgets. 

American mid-full size sedans. (Almost) all of them.
