Really good point. Car makers make more money per luxo vehicle than the base model, this just means if you purchase that luxury vehicle you are giving them more of your money for less. The lower the margins on a vehicle the better the deal. As a base to one above base buyer I have never felt like I needed more…

Ahhh but its once again! GM needed some of that sweet COE and started rebranding again. No 4 wheel drive though. Still.

How is that different than an f250 or f350? Same size, samish payload. The only thing commercial about it is the dealer usually is a commercial truck dealer. And not a daily driver passenger vehicle? Crew cab yo!

Let’s not forget that they still produce some nice medium duty work trucks that have the only cabover 4x4 available in the US (Fuso FG). From what I can tell these are good vehicles with a nice reputation and a better resale value. I am a little surprised they have not found a partner a la gm/Isuzu to sell with.

I shall then place two engines in my vehicle, a diesel for the low end and a petrol burning engine for the higher rpm range. I expect few issues with this and should be able to complete it by the end of the weekend.

Put away the cell phone. Stopped, driving, whatever. Put. It. Away. For fuckingeverlovingbabyjesus you don’t need the goddamn phone while driving. When you are piloting a two ton (yeah that does not include miata drivers I know you blessed little shits of maneuverability ) machine capable of killing, maiming or…

I thought christmas style (red and green) was New Mexican style?

I believe he was referring to the Estonian Protection Agency, their sense of jurisdiction is lacking.

Congratulations, just try not to lose focus on what’s important...commenting on Deadspin. And gelato Tuesdays.

No no no no no! You did drive a minivan; the minivan is no longer a minivan, CUVs are the new minivan (sans practicality).

The appropriate update:

Maybe you raced to get to the ice cream? I for one will not discount your achievement.

I like that he has a wrist band on as well! I assume for the beer garden?

I prefer metric crescent wrenches in my kit

Why so defensive? Why would these guys/gals want to be referred to as athletes anyway? Call them what they are, professional gamers. If you are so opposed to “dude bro” ideology why assimilate into their world of sports and athletes?

I knew someone would give you flack! But if you can develop/increase risk for cardiovascular disease whilst participating in your activity it is definitely not a sport and you are not an athlete

I’ve made it a rule that if I like a band or musician’s music, I make no effort to discover anything about them. Inevitably they are dicks or simple dumb asses that the knowledge of ruins the music for me. Yeah, I know, not very conscientious, but I need something to listen to.

Could not agree more. I love those models with the round headlights. They have aged very well.

A lot about this is infuriating, the lack of judgement, foresight, respect, the list can go on for a long time. What is really just pissing me off is the word “sesh”, is this really a thing? No, just no. I expect shit like this to happen at events billed as a “sesh”. I canonly assume that upon climbing mount…

Dammit, I had to look up prevaricate. Nice price mostly because I have a weird fascination with the isuzu vehicles.
