For what it’s worth, I think the new design is less interesting to look at. The current model has some neat angles and edges; the truck in the spy shot is all just... squares.

i’m very conflicted right now.

did they also test the rear window?

the sick irony is that i’m not opposed to ad’s. if each article had 5-6 static ad’s, i have no problem allowing them to track me, ‘impression’ me, and whatever else. i know and understand it pays for the content.

your first problem is living in california.

every time i deal with government stuff, i always say i need to become unemployed just to have the time to deal with it.

the first problem with complaining about haggling is that you expect that you’re being screwed in the price of the car, but don’t expect you’re being screwed on the price of anything at best buy.

i’m spending it all on truck parts. maintenance items only.  it’s what happens when i limped a bad wheel bearing, ABS sensor, and ball joint for a full year.

Because you live in the twilight zone

I believe repo's are going to spike in 3-4 months when people either forget they still have to pay for it, or realize they still can't swing it.

It always pained me to see the CFC cars in pick-n-pull lots. It’s like “Hey, this one’s got a complete engine!” “No, fuck, it’s spray painted which means anything south of the intake manifold was intentionally mutilated beyond use..”

If you think about it, a government-funded socialist plan to sell only one car to everyone would fit perfectly here.

Ha! You and what lobbyist! Wait...

most people building anything use vans. they’re more sheltered from the elements and self-contained so it’s easier to lock up the tools.

because there is no better way to bend a subdivisions construction to one’s own will.

yep. and some of my local dealers have gone nuclear, firing their sales force instead of just laying them off...

i call it bmw’s aztek.  fight me.

most importantly, we know from the past that the majority of people won’t even consider a more fuel efficient vehicle until gas tops $4/gallon.

the car might make it, but the white seats won’t!

just hope you don’t run out of a charge in the middle of nowhere!
