  1. THIS is a panoramic sunroof! ~
  2. Can't argue against that. It may have also sped up turbo proliferation, as they were sorely needed on '70s-80s diesels. But GM had a ton of turbo experience already at that point.
  3. She won't have aaaaaaany problem. Must've had her car shipped- no way she drove from NJ to WA without refueling in all the self-service states between here & there.
  4. Oh; no! Someone here said ( very recently) that once you get out of a segment, it’s nearly impossible to get back in it!
  5. You are free to do whatever you'd like to / spend what you want on your personal car. ?
  6. "I'll be working my way back to you, babe…" ~ Frankie Valli - - - - - Wheelbase : 112" Overall length : 180" Track : 56/58 Height : … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … .. 68"
  7. The x-class fiasco is far from the only product that's going to get chopped @ Daimler.
  8. '19 Silverado High Country CC, white, spotlessly clean, in the local hardware store's steel shop parking lot.
  9. Planes, Trains & Automobiles ~
  10. So are buried remains, no?
  11. local '68 (with '69 Judge wing & 17" Rallye IIs) ~
  12. Customer just got this dog - it's 10 wks old, weighs less than 2 lbs. She had me preemptively build her THREE coffins; for this dog, a 2nd dog not yet realized, and a 3rd one not even considered yet. I love wacky dog people.
  13. We live in Jersey; she's never pumped her own gas. lol But your statement is not a "fact", its a stereotype, and not that I gravitate towards these sort of labels at all, but it's kinda sexist. There are a significant quantity to women who race, build, repair & customize vehicles, and aren't afraid of a little dirt.
  14. The world of commerce appeared so much happier in the mid 20th ~
  15. … and Soup, and Scungilli, and….. Spearmint gum.
  16. How to load a bike: Funny; I can't find any pics online of a Gladiator with an ATV or bike in the back ALSO carrying a step/platform and a long ramp. Because this guy ^ doesn't look like he's having much fun this way. ^
  17. Friend has one in an old Ranger. I think they suck- in the way half the time there's a load, because you can't always plan on what you are getting/find by the side of the road. If you take it out, they you have to fit it in your garage somewhere. I mean I would trust strapping things like a quad down, but that takes time to do; messing with straps. If you could close the gate you could drive it up in there, throw the ramps in and be off 5 seconds later. That brings ramps to mind- if a bicycle doesn't fit, where do ramps long enough to drive an ATV in go???
  18. Where are all these angry, diesel-spraying women who are incapable of a simple vehicle refueling? Did we somehow slide back to the 1950s (or whenever it was when women were apparently utterly incapable)?
  19. “so I am in month 37 of the 39 mo lease...” I always look forward to these updates; what once was a bright, shiny penny inevitably morphs into an impression involving dump trucks and how vehicle X isn’t vehicle Q. It takes a while, but I’ve realized it’s not the vehicle that has changed.
  20. My God- you can't even put a bicycle in the back of a Gladiator with a front wheel OFF and close the tailgate! Every googleimage pic of a dirt bike or ATV has the tailgate open. 1 more foot and it would be a lot more useful/secure. Or perhaps the concept is not fully baked.
  21. I would really love to pull up to a roadside stand like this in 2019. Esp if I was driving the Cab-Over.
  22. Temple Texas yearbook ad, 1960; looks like no one had much of an idea which way the mercedes emblem got oriented.
  23. Any other major, radical revisions/upgrades besides the sticker & the shorter antenna? Perhaps one of those air vent air fresheners? Whatcha gonna put in the bed?
