Chevy Luv was a compact pickup. The S-10/S-15 line were a fair bit bigger. The Colorado/Canyon are much bigger than the S10/s15's, and are “compact” only if compared to the bloated monsters full-sized pick-ups have become.
Used to be you could park a “full-sized” pick-up truck fit in a standard parking stall, with…

1/4 ton pick-ups (Toyotoa Hi-Lix, etc.) Despite their toy-like appearance, turned out they were more than enough truck for a lot of people: cheaper to buy and run than a full-size p/u, and easier to drive. While performance was generaly anemic, and the interiors were stark, they could haul a surprising amount of…

Greyhound is for those with limited financial resources. Class, or lack thereof, has little to do with it. I’ve met more assholes per trip flying than I did riding Greyhound.

ND - overpriced, by at least 3000 dollars, badly abused Corvan 95. Having owned three Corvairs in the distant past, I know the “oil pan leak” is a joke. Likely needs an engine rebuild - these motors were famous for leaking seals, but, the oil pan never the only issue. Add in tons of rust everywhere, and the carpeting…

Sunbeam Tiger.  

Even more so for pick-up trucks. Bring back 2 doors, with a full 8 foot box.  

For many dementia patients, it’s recent events they cannot retain memory of. Events from 36 years ago often remain sharp and clear, while something that happened two days, or two weeks, or two months ago disappear.

This was incident was regrettable, but, it was not no more an “accident” than someone killed while juggling chainsaws. Accidents are incidents where those injured or killed are not the authors of their own demise.

Bluetooth is old, finicky and unreliable. What’s needed is a new connectivity standard that is robust, reliable, and can handle mulitple devices at the same time.
Better option might be to return to plug-in hard-wired connections. Not the darling of the tech industry, but, much reliable, with faster data transfer.…

Agreed. Maybe a two-position switch. Small partial drop in position one, full drop in position 2.

Rust is us Ford pick-ups. No body panel or part was immune, and the defect persisted for nearly a decade.

Huge people hauler with some cargo hauling capacity with the middle and rear seats folded flat. These were a blast when I was a teenager, cruising the streets with 8 or 10 friends. But, it’s not a desireable example of blandly-styled anemic land-yacht, from one of the worst era’s for NA cars. ND. 

$5000 over current market value for a bland, cookie-cutter living room mascarading as a Ford sedan, sold “as-is”?  No Dice. 

It’s a Jeep and it’s a diesel, and an ad very light on details makes this a ND all day, every day.

Price will win out. People seem to have no moral or other qualms about buying CCP products from Walmart, Amazon, etc. as long as the price is cheap enough...

I fully agree. In 20 years commuting to work by bus, I seldom missed the rush-hour drive to or from work, especially when the weather was ugly.
A necessary part of the discussion is paying for parking at work. We had to use commercial parking lots, and that made it cheaper to bus than drive myself.
Where “free”…

First generation Civics - body and frame rust was a huge problem (and safety concern) thanks to the low-quality steel used.  

1962 Corvair 700 sedan. Got it used in 1971. Two years later my younger brother borrowed it for the evening, and brought it back behind a tow-truck. He decided to go rat-racing with a couple of friends, lost control on a corner, bounced off a parked car and wrapped it around a tree. No one hurt but the car was a write…

Am I the only one who misses pickups with 8 ft boxes, and an interior you could clean with a hose?
