Not sure whose budget it comes out of, but the definitely have dedicated trucks trolling the bridges in the sf bay area. They aren't towing you to a shop, just off the bridge/freeway.

But he COULD...and imagine how fast you could unload the groceries with a tilt bed

you know, i’ll at least give the grey datsun in the youtube video credit for retaining some usability (it’s actually a whole bed with floor) compared to the one in the twitter post (just a skeleton with a shell and no bed floor)

I got stuck in a field, literally 15 feet from pavement, in the middle of town. Waited over 2 hours for a tow to show up from one of the big shops literally 3 blocks away. Eventually someone with a 4x4 pulled me out, I called AAA and cancelled. THEN afew minutes later the tow truck showed up, and wanted me to sign the…

Uh...not just on paper. Had a 2020 outlander as a rental last month. Night and day different interior compared to the one above, and not in a good way..Mitsu has improved on that with the new one. 3rd row legroom, though...yeah, mustang is better. It’s more akin to brz rear legroom...it’s a 3rd row to be able to say…

they’ve started doing those here too (CA).

especially as her family is already busy villifying him in the media, harassing his family, and he’s got protestors harassing him outside his house.  

looks to be a gasoline-fueled heater under the hood, too (which are worth some money on their own, afaik...), which is a good thing since that fan shroud does away with the air hoses to feed heater boxes (and thus, engine driven heat).  carb looks like a weber progressive, which can be nice when they’re tuned well,…

unfortunately, this lunkhead made the mistake of getting his directions from Altavista.

I was thinking the same.  at 15,000 feet (or even 5,000), there’s time for a parachute to open. at 100 ft? good luck.

The scale/distances between things are part of the issue in the US too. did some quick google maps. 827 miles between Penzance and John o’ Groats, pretty much the SW to NE ends of the UK Mainland. Meanwhile, California alone is just shy of 800 miles from South (San Ysidro) to North (Hilt) on a straight shot up…

around here they were doing ~$10-15k markups on the CTR before the world went off the rails; it also trickled down to $5k markups on the SI (“yeah, we don’t have a CTR, how about this SI, it’s also stick and turbocharged”) and around $2k on the sport-trim hatchback (“oh, you don’t know how to drive stick? here’s the…

“but wait, there’s more!”

5.0 stick bronco?

hell, skip writing on the tape and write it on their face, so everyone in the airport can know they’ve been a monumental jackass.

The CARB cert is kind of big thing, though. Number one, the hurdles to jump through (and the money) to get something certified. Two, with that cert in mind, I could mod the car to blow pure oxygen, and still fail for not having the CARB stamp on xx part. Three, not restricted to gearheads, but again with the cert,…

1. Find a friend/family member in (whatever registration friendly state)

Not just the Delica owners, but ALL owners of non-US imports should be behind sinking this. The responses from the state pretty much say anything that wasn’t manufactured to US crash standards will be in the crosshairs soon, perhaps even the ones that were ‘federalized’.

The truly shit part of this is that these weren’t vehicles that were registered “by mistake”, as Ms. Cook contends...it’s that these were vehicles that WERE legitimately registered at the time, and now the legislature has after the fact changed the law to define them as off-road vehicles so BMV can yank the rug out…
