Prototype looks good to me.

As mentioned elsewhere in the comments, overlaying something like the Golden Ratio can perhaps shed some light on how the differing arrangements play out in this particular situation:

roof racks have become car person’s “yeah well...” to the novelty truck world.

MECHNUTTS my ass. Any Jalop worth their burner screen name knows those are turbos.

Of course it has a turbo. How can you miss it?

Can you imagine a car company doing something like that today? Circumventing a bad review by just... going to geographical places where that review would most likely to hold the least amount of weight?

You have seen the results of David’s wrenching, right? You sure you picked the right show as a template? I’m thinking more along the lines of maybe “Night in the Museum.” You know, all this old stuff no one wants shows up at his house, runs around doing bizarre shit in the middle of the night, and the next day no one…

This will always be my favorite bubble era wackiness

Yep. The law sucks, but nobody forced you to break it.

I think the intent here is to make a statement (however dubious) that nobody can make money off smuggling cars. If the cars are auctioned, all or part of that money ends up in corrupt officials’ pockets, establishing a black market and encouraging more smuggling. That money would never see the communities that need it…

Nowadays every car is a “luxurious phone booth”

They’d be better off partnering with Alpine.

This isnt interesting, once I saw a MGB roadster (the really small that looks like a kiddie car) with New Mini rims (from the 2000 to 2009 model) and the car was driven by a “large” gentlemen that looked too “round” to fit in the seats. This was at Home Depot and the guy bought drill bits

An object in motion tends to stay in motion until acted upon by bow thrusters.

This is the deep, dark, painful thought I have to suppress every time I see a Toyota overlanding rig. I love my Defender. It has never let me down. But that shouldn’t be noteworthy.

Toyota. Not even close.

Only thing Brock had to really do with them was a bit of suspension tuning, along with pre-delivery checks.

There were also:
Brock Falcons
Brock Fairlanes
Brock Mavericks (Nissan Patrols)
Brock Telstar TX5 Ghia Turbos
Brock Fairmont Ghias

These were made during the time he was racing Ford Sierras.

Others, who are watching you. Judging you.
