I’m not sure if this is a new, or state, or company specific. I never left anyone on the side of the road. We even had extra cab trucks to respond to minivan full of people. I always carried extra bottle of water for “passengers” and even a small bag full of cheap plush toys for the smaller kids.

It is a perfect small truck for a small business, landscaper, etc. You are right, you can’t really buy a small pickup new anymore. These are easy to work on, last forever with basic maintenance, and dirt cheap to insure.

I was about to post my 98 Tacoma, mine only has 180k in the odometer, same 2wd, 5 speed, bare bones trim. I worked with that truck for a while, now it is my weekend ride/kayak carrier. There is not a week goes by, when I don’t find a note on the windshield about someone wants to buy it. No sale, I will keep this truck…

Jeep Trackhawk from Hennessey:

Back in the old country my former boss who owned a bunch of companies and being generally a shady guy, owned an S8 and always joked about, that he could have a helicopter if he wanted too, but he doesn’t, because his Audi is faster.

None of us are invited to parties anymore, I’m guessing...

Khhm, *puts glasses on* it is a wheel loader...

What is going on with this?

I bet that’s where they carried the kayak to the photo shoot.

I hear you, I got a small pickup, kayak on the bed, easy.

Yeah, that kayak on top... look at us, we our ready for the outdoors. Good luck wrestling that thing up and down from there. You have a perfectly good, empty roof rack on that SUV, no lets put this boat up to the top of the camper, and not flat, but sideways...

This “tech” is invented long time ago for transportation already. Look up the Alerter in locomotives.

Tartar sauce... *hides under the table*

Oh ok, that make sense, I certainly missed that part of the question. 

Sorry, I don’t really understand your question, but I’m referencing the “first gen” 2011 CR-Z, here is what Car and driver said about it:

Honda CR-Z, lot of people hoped that it would be the next CR-X, it wasn’t...

I did a lot, it is slow, it is crude, it is loud, not comfortable by any means, it will break down on you when you need it the most (unlike many peeps are thinking otherwise). But it is capable, it will go places you think it shouldn’t, and the heater is exemplary!

If anything the Lada Niva is overrated, it is a very capable 4x4, but it is propped up to some kind of legendary vehicle here (just like many other eastern bloc cars). People who didn’t have to live with those cars and rely on them day in and day out. I drove these a plenty and take any western equivalent here without…

Mid nineties Toyota Previa AWD, supercharged. Plenty of space to pack, and surprisingly capable with a little help.

Diamond is running their new planes with a diesel engine burning Jet-A. Definitely not overly heavy, or low performance or not reliable. They are expensive.
