In fact, I bet that’s what’s going to happen. The straight-cut-gear-whine is going to be the sound of the 2040s.

Right price, looks competently done, it’s different but you can find parts for most of it, and it probably has good traction in winter.

Hell yeah. Look how tight it all is! I’m not seeing any flex or sag.

It’s... gorgeous. I could completely understand if it wound up in your garage or kitchen somehow.

If such a thing happened, I recall that the butt was just about even with the ‘rollbar’, yeah.

Is it above roof cargo if they’re standing on the passenger seat?

Here’s to the ones that almost did.

Jump packs and jump pack /12v air compressors are a thing of beauty everyone should have in their car. They come in handy so MANY ways, and just make people’s lives better.

Aw yeah Panther.

Is it a cake?

Well, there’s a couple reasons involving flex and suchlike but...

I’m just going to leave these pics here - there’s a old Bronco by me that _really_ seems to match the modern one’s aesthetics.

Year three or four.

The mother-loving D-Pad. Starting with the NES. You don’t know what life was like before it, but sweet mother of mercy, that NES controller made life better.
