What the fuck is your problem, man?

You’re kidding. That’s nuts. Jeez, for that kind of money they could have bought an ‘80 Silverado.
Jaguar owners.
This. This right here. There is no way, even if I have the expertise and knowledge that I will do it correctly the first time, that I can afford to spend 2 full working days and change to fix my car. My time is worth WAY more than that. Is it worth $3,550? Not entirely certain, but discounting this as just “a weekend…

I had someone go through my car once. Made off with about 50 cents and dropped an almost full pack of Marlboros. Jokes on that guy.
Keeping your hands and feet warm is like 90% of being comfortable in the winter. The other 10% is your nose and ears. Other than that, you can pretty much be naked and it won’t matter.
By far and away, my favorite part of working at a dealership, was when minty older normal cars rolled in.
With barely broken in miles on the 7.3 and a body clean enough to do surgery on, this was a great deal at $16,000. Congrats to Carl on getting a truck that will last as long as he could possibly need it.
Hehe. Nigerian here. Long time reader of Jalopnik but this is my first comment ever. A very significant share of car exports from the US and Europe (where cars are LHD) to Africa is to Nigeria. Most folks here can’t afford brand new cars or will rather buy foreign used to drive less boring cars. In the example…
I think that if you slow down a bit and get off the interstate highways, the views are much more scenic. You should ask for the most scenic views across each state.
Having driven all over the country, coast-to-coast, border-to-border, corner-to-corner, I’ve become like Willian Least Heat-Moon, preferring the “blue highways.” I think the Interstate system is great—my father supervised its construction—but the old two-lanes are more interesting. And doing 70 on a narrow two-lane is…
I kind of agree, but I get their point. They are simply pointing out the painfully obvious.
Honestly, just go in your Waze Navigation settings and tell it to “Avoid Freeways”. I did this recently between Houston and Phoenix and back and saw the home of Robert E Howard, Roswell, the Very Large Array, Pie Town, the Cadillac Ranch, the World’s Largest Bowie Knife, and soooooo many bugs.
I have crossed the country a few times. The best is no interstate at all. Well, I had to do a bit of interstate to get over some mountain passes but 99% of time you should use highways. It will add a LOT of time to your trek. But if you look at the time spent inside the vehicle as the “vacation” then its perfect. I…
The interstates are the worst way to see the US unless time is the most important factor. If you want a little bit of everything and a mostly central route, I’d suggest US Highway 6, from Bishop, CA to Cape Cod (and you could start or end at the old terminus of Long Beach, CA). From 1936 to 1964, it was the longest…
I feel similarly. But I don’t like them as much anymore, and now I’m kinda beginning to resent them for really pushing the trend of wealthy middle aged white dudes buying up vintage 4x4s across the country, shipping them to LA, and blowing their values up to insane levels in the process.
This is just the wrong direction. I’d love to see one of these updated with a modern efficient 4cyl and more appropriate wheel size like 15". You can still pack decent brakes in those. It could be a nice lightweight modern update on a classic farm truck without the penis extender motor and wheels.
THIS IS THE REVIEW I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
