I’m going NP on this one...extremely rare Toyo truck variant and in excellent shape. There’s one of this up here in Anchorage I see fairly regularly by REI and it’s in equally impressive condition and definitely lust-worthy

My post was supposed to be funny man...fun killer!

So...last time I checked the rudder control was on the bridge, not the engine room, so what the hell was the helmsman doing about 6 decks up?

I find it awkward...even after 14 years in. I usually just say thanks and move on. It was originally just a way to get a steady job and pay off my student debt, now it’s just a job and I’ve only 6 years till I retire out...thank Christ. The military will suck the life out of you if you let it, even in the best…

Ford should strike back with ‘fighter planes are made of aluminum” and they should also go with the fact that the Chevy/GMC has terrible handling compared to the F150. I’m currently waiting on my ‘16 F150 SuperCrew short box (w/ 5.0) to arrive at the dealer. Before I put a deposit down though, I gave the GM a chance.…

850 was a fantastic car and also the last design presided over by genius/visionary Volvo designer Jan Wilsgaard

I heart Minors!

Cars still rust though. And one thing that’s going to be the death knell for many modern cars is when their electronic engine management systems start going bad as well as the infotainment systems. No one’s going to drive a car with a 6" black hole in the dash.

I really don’t think cars are built better now than they were in the early-mid 60s. The initial overall build quality may be a touch better, but engines and transmissions used to have higher-quality, longer lasting metals and rubbers in their construction.

On my ‘11 X5d (that I got rid of since it was a giant POS), BMW had deleted the tool kit which I had to scrounge together researching part numbers and such. They originally did it to save X amount of dollars per car in the US market, to include deleting the spare tire and tools (lug wrench, jack, etc). Some idiot told…

So, they just looked at the F35 on paper and not the actual testing results that show what a failure the plane is...I’m guessing Lockheed has used that huge budget overrun to support a sizeable bribery budget

I think ‘Squibs’ may be appropriate here

Hey everyone, it’s Audi here. Make sure you buy your wife the least reliable and most terrible car we ever built.

...but it’s a Golf...an econobox-based “sports” car

Except for most Audis to include the R8/R10 are actually built in the Neckarsulm NSU plant... And the only reason Audi initially survived the 70s was their acquisition of NSU and then the VAG buyout of Audi. Audi had virtually no build quality until buying NSU and it was that purchase that made them palatable to VAG

Interesting... Audi could finally have a true heir to the NSU TTS with this one. Engine’s kind of in the right place. They should totally ditch the Golf-derived TT and go with this to honor their NSU roots

NSU used superchargers back in the 30s on their race bikes and doesn’t Yamaha have one now?

Unless it’s an axial engine as envisioned by John DeLorean, it’s it truly revolutionary if it has a very conventional layout?

So, as an Acura owner, I can claim to be amongst the top three most literate car brand enthusiasts? ;)

Interesting, cause there’s no minivan being built on the 3rd gen MDX chassis yet. Just it and the new Pilot.
