K-car is a whole different category. The suspension/brakes on the non Shelby cars was meh much like any 80s econobox. The body of the “K- car” design was actually quite rigid. When upgraded springs/struts/shocks/swaybars to the Shelby spec they were very lively with hardly any body roll or nose dive under braking. We…

And those auto shoulder belts ha. My lady friend had a 2 door Beretta in high-school and always talks about the door handles.

Apparently you’ve never driven a Beretta or Cavalier of that era. Suspension was awful, the 2.8 was a gutless wonder and loud (Not in a good way), Brakes awful, etc.

Dad had a white T top Shelby Z same wheels as above. Really wish Chrysler would have turned that 2.2 the other way and put a T5/rear wheel drive setup in that car. I had numerous Shelby cars growing up and they really handle and stop great. Good power for the era as well. My first car was a red non turbo ES Daytona,…

The cab mounts (Frame side) are attached perfectly fine to the frame with no signs of any of the body mounting bolts/insulators in them.
If it was rust related (likely wasn’t) then the mounting bolts (all 4) must have rusted completely through. The rocker panels on the cab look pretty crappy but nothing worse than you…

I tow and haul on a regular basis = I have to own a truck. My commute to work is about 12 miles one way. A plug in hybrid with a nice range extender would be perfect for me. Charge at night at my house during the week and burn dinosaurs on the weekend.

It absolutely makes sense. Maybe not the V10 Dodge beast but my 99 R/T was awesome. 14.60s stock all day long, looked great, handled great, brakes were meh, towed my boat great despite its reduced factory capacity. Now days because of a dog I do need an extended cab.

I’m sure these will be worth a mint 50 years from now to the Wayne Carini type of collectors. But for real, finally a pretty sharp looking electric rendering. Not so sure about the 3 wheel design but I love the throw back looks, especially the steering wheel and gauges. I would drive it to work in the city.

There is nothing less interesting to me than a car that drives itself.

My dad had a deep red/white hard top Commando back in the day. There is a green one for sale on the way to our lake house but it is extra rusty. The later ones had an AWFUL looking one piece grill in them. This style is where it’s a though.

Nice, my uncle is a durability testing engineer in the engine area of Auburn Hills . Lives in Dyno cells all day.

Mehhhhhhhh

LTL companies would be a huge user of trucks like this. All the trucks you see in the city are just picking up/delivering shipments within the city then back to the distribution hub for the trucks that haul to the next distribution hub. They would use diesel trucks from hub to hub and electric for delivery/pickup.

I always thought the S2000 was just ok and I would way rather have that than the Civic.

Precisely why my 2000 XJ suspension is completely stock. People always complain about the brakes but mine feel awesome. Rides great and returns 17 mpg average. There is nowhere near me to play off road so it would be a gigantic waste of money sort of like all the bro-dozer lifted JKs in the city.

Congrats, it’s hard to beat a manual Cummins. Our last Dodge was a 96 5 speed 12v and had 430,000 ish on it when sold. Used no oil, a few leaks, had been turned up to 400 ish hp its whole life. It was a 2wd ext. cab long bed in black.

Lol, beat me to it. 600 miles and managed to swirl mark the black paint. Sweet.

Right, the 3.8 was an awful choice for the Wrangler. Even the 4.7 would have been a big upgrade.

Does it baby?

I have been a die hard Chrysler fan my entire life. Just this year I traded a paid off truck because I couldn’t stand constantly working on it anymore. Guess who I didn’t buy a truck manufactured by? My 2010 Ram was manufactured exactly 7 years ago and had a ton of ridiculous and recurring repairs in 140k miles.
