Nissan doing something cool? Alright I’m interested. 

Still looks like a crossover. I’m talking like, mid-20 year olds finding and restoring rare versions of 90s Grand Caravans and Windstars. Where a Nautica Edition Mercury Villager brings a crowd. 

We’re really coming full circle now. I can’t wait until Minivans are the “cool” choice again lol

Mitsubishi is now running FB ads about how they’re a “small-batch production” car company now, that focuses on quality over quantity. 

Interesting spin on “Nobody is buying our cars so we had to cut production”

You can’t store a jerry can full of electricity, though.

I wonder if there’s some kind of emergency battery for this type of scenario, in case you need a few dozen miles of range that can be carried with you.

I tend to agree with them, actually. I don’t think it’s their right to tell anyone what they can and cannot do with their vehicles, but I think it’s totally reasonable to offer their opinion on it, and I agree with theirs to an extent. They also don’t explicitly say “don’t do it”, just “If you do it, try to keep it…

Shame it’s so ugly. I love econoboxes!

It’s not off when you consider the publication’s history.

But this is pretty lighthearted.

I’m trying to be less rude on the internet, so I’ll just leave it at “I wouldn’t buy one” and move on. 

Arizona or Nevada is really better for car guys. The whole BAR thing kinda makes projects difficult.

How hard would it be to manual swap a 5.9 Limited? That’d be way cooler than a rusty factory 5 speed IMO. 

Get an Aerostar and autocross it. Post results on Youtube. Monetize video. Use advertising revenue to buy another 90s shitbox and repeat. Repeat enough times until you can afford a Countach.

Congratulations, you just won your local Radwood. 

I’d have to also have something gas-powered in my fleet. Driving a car like this is about the experience, and I really treasure the experience of driving old cars with old engines. Dead silence and a shitload of instant power simply doesn’t scratch that itch for me.

Having said that, there’s always room in my heart…

If you plan on turning it sure does, lol.

But yeah, I doubt it’d put most people off buying one. There’s probably a decent market for them. 

I can’t even imagine. I have a Miata RF and even that flexes a little too much for me, lol.

I wonder how much a Challenger convertible would weigh 

I dunno, they do have a #bancars tag. Maybe they wanna hire this person. Jalopnik is slowly reverting to GMG procedure.

Yeah I have a lot of issues with the business model of the Forza series lately. Making dull cars ludicrously expensive and rare for no real reason. Who does that benefit? 

Oh 100% agree. I don’t get excited by hypercars, I get excited by a shitbox that I can make something fun out of.

My favorite car in Horizon 4 is actually my Crown Vic! I didn’t go the usual approach of maxing all the stats. I kept the boaty factory suspension and 4 speed gearbox but dumped the highest displacement…

The worst part is that I wanted a Crown Vic really bad. So I paid the 4 mil. I’m part of the problem :(

God forbid I ever get the 12 million required for a 96 Impala SS
