Wow, nice. I never saw Navajos in the midwest growing up. I only ever saw them out here in the west-southwest. Amazing that this one is in such crazy-good shape because 95% of the ones I’ve seen are in falling-apart or rusted-out condition. The remaining 5% haven’t been this clean.

Yay humanity.

No idea about the odd 14 buyers but that number is also low enough that these are either people who were somehow REALLY wanting a Continental - perhaps because it will probably be the LAST Continental in automotive history? - and/or they are those quiet but somehow eccentric (very) few who go for off-beat cars.

Message to K.Cour: We’re talking about Denzel Washington here, not Charles goddamn Manson.

Nah. It’s just blind, reflexive selfishness that they justify with one-liner political talking points under the oft-sold but very misguided notion that the singular individual is the only thing that matters, ever, in perpetuity.

If you ask me, assuming it was true that “dozens” did or will, GREAT. That would make the vaccine mandates a great way to implement police reform in at least the blue states.

The Maxima seats definitely look better, but the Infiniti’s dash looks more sorted, and its doors are more upscale-looking.

Not that 1455lbs is a great payload for a loaded brand new truck, but it’s no worse than a Platinum F-150 Powerboost, possibly slightly better in some cases. A couple all-options configs on Ram 1500s and Ford F-150s I think knock the total payload down into the 1100-1200 range.

Maybe, but snowplows.

I was wondering where those wide-ass Dodge vans went! I always thought they were some factory special for commercial use only, I didn’t know an outside company made ‘em. I remember seeing a few in use for handicapped mass transit in Phoenix 20+ years ago. It’s amazing that this B3500 looks like it would eat that…

You’re wondering why anyone would want to own and drive a new truck that looks like this when there are literally millions of men between 18 and 55 driving around old 250/2500 and 350/3500 diesels, regardless of trim, on black XD “rims” or super-tall and wide wheels with barely-an-inch-of-sidewall tires, absurd lifts,…

GM drives me freaking nuts when they release a new gen of a hot product like the Silverado and put near-zero time and effort into the interior, the place where owners spend the most time interfacing with the product. Then they turn around like “What? What’s the problem?” This is the goddamn interior it should have…

Ya, ya, whatever. 3-on-the-tree, blah blah...

That Ford F-800 pickup is a real find. That’s a REAL short wheelbase for wheels and tires like that. Imagine the ride going over speed bumps.

Phoenix metro is exactly the same. A friend of mine who moved here in the 70s said there used to be daily afternoon monsoon rains. That was already not the case when I moved here in the 90s, and now that the metro pop has grown 175% in 23 years, we get 1 meaningful rainfall year for every 7-8 years of nearly nothing.…

I assume it is the new normal even though there’s nothing I can really do to impact forests beyond doing my part to keep ‘em clean and trying not to burn dino-fuels unnecessarily. There is simply no way global society will hit 2050 goals unless all wealthy countries make doing so a WW2-scale manufacturing/public…

The Kizashi was truly a pretty handsome car, it was just the wrong amount of effort - Suzuki trying its best to finally produce a product that in top trim was up to the level of a base Camry - WAY too late. Well after the CUV craze began, even. It was a car that should have come out a decade earlier. It’s a decent…

Yeah some of the engine design/layout choices German car brands have made are very nearly trolling cast in metal.

Gotta agree on a few of these. The X3 has NEVER looked good let alone desirable, but the E83 was just a mess. Those taillights are the most garbage light design ever on a BMW. But don’t forget the E83's utterly useless styling flourish on the headlights, which must have been the result of a smudge on a drawing due to…

Well pretty much everything made that many decades ago was made shittily compared to what we can do today. in the 50s and 60s American cars were comparatively advanced when you look at what the Brits were gluing together, or even the Germans in some cases. Even late 90s cars are pretty shitty-feeling compared to the…
