grew up Ford, now Honda, but the Maverick is tipping me back to Ford.  as great as the Ridgeline is, it is more than I need at this point in my life.

AT4 is GMC’s equivalent of the F-150's FX4 - tires, shocks, a locker and some skid plates.

Raptor and TRX are much more extensive.

install a taller roll bar.

why would you not need to pass the broomstick test in a coupe also (i.e. top of head 2" below line between front and rear roll structures)?

ACAB - stereotypes exist for a reason.

in many states “I Smell Pot” is not probable cause anymore. “I smell alcohol” is grounds for administering a field sobriety test not probable cause for search, and if you fail that, a breathalyzer, but not searching your car unless they arrest you for DWI (in which search incident…

except when the answer is Caterham.

The complete lack of Caterhams in this list invalidates the whole story.

looks a lot like  a compression artifact

he was lying.  dude was trying to beat a yellow and lost it because of Tesla’s ludicrous acceleration.

And if you think rednecks aren’t going to be hooning around off road with one of these full of water and female rednecks, you don't understand rednecks.

A cubic centimeter of distilled water at standard temperature and pressure was the original definition of 1 gram.

That is 85932 cubic inches, aka 1408 liters, aka 1408 kilos of water, aka 3100 lbs. Just barely under the payload of the heaviest duty package available for an F-150

why would anyone punish themselves driving such a legendary pile of crap?

you are making the very unwise assumption that “aero guys” were actually involved rather than the design being selected from proposals put together by a marketing company with the brief “make it look like a stealth fighter”

I mean, it certainly is distinctive (as was the last one) but it really looks like it was designed by a 12 year old with no understanding of how aero works. it will be shedding draggy vortices off every single one of those sharp edges and have massive outwash from the sidepods.  I very much hope they haven’t broken…

I like that it is smaller lighter more powerful and without fenders,  but wow, what drugz were they smoking when they designed the aero package?

seems they they are both horrible assholes. each accuses the other of heinous shit. each is documented to have done heinous shit.

31k for a 23.5k Civic Sport with a grill swap.

but will we see David Tracy’s spiritual successor drive 2600 miles to pay $600 for a rusted out “unicorn” Supra MT, duct tape it back together and try to run Moab with it?!??!

this is a fine example of a gender biased bad take (that would be a bad take regardless of the gender of the recipient of the service, but is in this case _clearly_ all about gender as the author makes clear in the text.  the same author would be cheering if it was Ms. Wilde having Mr. Sudeikis)

no.  many of those were made by predecessor, successor or companies that were merged with VEB Sachsenring.  only Trabi variants were actually made by VEB Sachsenring while it was named VEB Sachsenring
