One of the royals doesn’t even care about the royals anymore.

Not me. I’m looking for a return of low-rider mini-trucks with spinning beds.

...HAM radio...

I think you may be wrong on this one, because the mid sized pickups have gotten so big, there is definitely a group out there that specifically wants smaller pickups.  Have you seen how long in the tooth the delivery fleet of most auto parts stores have gotten?

New Ranchero!!!

One delightful possibility is that since this is being made on the Focus platform, we could wind up with a RS version. Basically our own high performance UTE. The Aussies will be so jealous....

When inefficient sports cars become 20 feet long and magically the best selling vehicle in America, we’ll have to have that conversation.

18 MPG is absolutely horrible. I dream of a world of $5 gasoline - you could still choose to drive your thing, but you would actually have to pay some of the cost of using all that gas.

“some of you guys think that cars are killing the planet, especially if they dare sip a tad more gas”

My car does 30mpg and will definitely be my last ice car. You are a garbage person and your kids will send you in a horrible dying home when you grow senile because you’re currently destroying their planet.

Jackass.

I don’t get why mini trucks aren’t a thing. Optional electric / hybrid for the DIYers and construction workers. They’ve forced my hand into creating a 1970s Datsun pickup with a VQ.

Good talk, glad we could do this. 

Okay.

The trucks are too long I suppose. But what really frosts my shorts is that each successive generation gets at least five inches taller. Which means today you can buy a pickup truck with a bedside rail over five feet off the ground.

Picking up my kids at the local Boys and Girls Club means finding a parking spot well away from one of the other dads. Not just because his stock four door F-350 4x4 is unbelievably gargantuan and you can’t see jack shit when you’re parked beside it. No no, the real annoyance here is that Mr. Five Foot Three leaves…

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BRADLEY IT’S MY GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO DRIVE THIS AND YOU CAN PRY IT FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS

Was that supposed to be a dig? “Go park your car at places where cars get parked!”

Nah, the cranky ones are young now. The olds have fucking ruined the world for us, so we have something to be pissed about.
