The Ford Ranger and Chevy Colorado look a lot like this truck. They’d better put some aggressive badging on it!

I agree with you 100%.

Honestly, Chevy pickups from the 80s weren’t that great either. A Chevy 350 with 165 hp? That’s not great, especially when mated to an automatic transmission. Gas mileage was terrible. My dad had a 1980 Scottsdale 4WD with a 4 on the floor, and of course we loved it, but I wouldn’t say today’s trucks are worse.…

Well, I like it in Forza 7. I like it a lot. That’s as close as I’ll ever come to owning in one, so I guess in my world, it was a complete success. 

I was wondering why it isn’t orange.

Oh go park your Caravan elsewhere if you don’t like it. 

It is similar on the Canadian prairies. I used to commute from a bedroom community to work in the city. It was probably 70 km round trip. If I wanted to buy anything beyond basic groceries, I had to run to the city for it. I was constantly driving back and forth.

I imagine they weren’t much worse than their competitors. A lot of the Japanese cars were rust buckets way before their time.

I hate BMW’s naming scheme—for all their cars. The cars sound like computers. “Now with optional S-Drive!!”

My family had a 1980 Chevy Scottsdale 4x4 short box pickup. It was with us for 25 years. My dad did have to change the heads in about 1986, and the box rusted out pretty badly, but other than that, it was pretty solid. It got terrible gas mileage, though, which is ultimately why my parents sold it. The decision was “ei…

This is good to know, because I don’t think I could afford Danny DeVito. 

If I took a photo of Danny DeVito, I am quite certain I would own the rights to that photo.

I want all of these.

Uh, that was sarcasm.

I should send this to my dad, who hasn’t had a bike since like 1972. More or less 9 months before I was born. I can’t figure out why he ditched the bike .

Been there. Done that. 

I remember riding on a seat like that in an early 1980s Datsun Kingcab pickup truck that my grandfather owned. It was a mildly uncomfortable squish when I was 7. It’ll be a mistake at 45.

I believe it!

I disagree. I hate minivans. I don’t hate many things, but I absolutely hate minivans. I have sat behind too many of them in my lifetime. 

The engineers are there to re-learn what a fantastic sounding engine actually sounds like.
