Ahh yes, all the truck 90% of American truck buyers need but won’t admit.

This is absolutely perfect application for my anime girl punisher sticker.

US1 everywhere in the Northeast. It was a good idea 69 years ago or so, but is cancerous now.

Tracy is a national treasure.

Yes, metro Atlanta is going full toilet paper.

But is it actually though? SNL (to me, anyway) is very mainstream American entertainment. Crypto is a niche tech bro or self-pronounced technorati pasttime. The intersections of those two are not broad, so to elicit laughs more than questions from a broad audience you have to take it very high level and conceptual,…

I’m in the “Cringe, but well delivered” crowd. It felt a little forced, but I have to also remember that the majority of the SNL viewing public will not know what crypto is.

I’ll puke them all on my website like everything else I build or make or crank on.

Ugly safety bumpers with batteries hidden behind them oh my god why

I have two of these dumb things now. They were offered together as a 2-pack, because of course.

Hey, just sayin’ y’all could up the total to 56 if my emails ever get answered! Everything I have is a van of some sort, or a cheese wedge, or a strange lawn mower!

The Merritt? There was one occasion I actually passed an 18 wheeler trying to get on it from (I think) Route 7. Like both of us rolled past the NO COMMERCIAL/NO TRUCKS sign. I held the horn down as I went around his outside to hopefully send a message, but I dunno if it was received. Didn’t stick around for the…

Terrible cab-over vans.

All of them.

See, this is the kind of good shit Jalopnik needs to keep embracing and owning. Fuck the industry, more Torchlopnik and Tracylopnik. That and offbeat random car-related news and the obscure concepts/motorsports categories.

i must have photos and/or videos. I intend to own a slinky bus one day.

Trucks like these were an evolution of the luxury van-based tow rigs of the 70s and 80s and a direct predecessor to the King Ranch brodozers of today. The powertrain is straight out of that era (big block with negative horsepower, 3-speed auto, no OD) and the body harks to the embellishment of the 1990s to come.

The “Fabulously Gay Transformer” vans of Japan got me into cars and I shall have one some day.

Electrified, restomodded with a Tesla powertrain or equivalent of the era.

I want a shirt of this. Make a shirt of this.

Actually, now that you mention it....

This is why I don’t buy gas in New Jersey on principle. For the approximately 6 driving years I lived in the northeast, I’d pick up gas on the last rest stop on the Merritt getting into NYS and not stop until Easton, PA - same for reverse. Or somewhere in Delaware and then not until I hit the Bronx.

I managed to avoid…
