A Horse With No Name

They were an absolute hoot. I think my missing small nimble cars and the fun I had autocrossing is why I am now finding myself interested in off roading or other vehicular adventures. Because the small nimble cars are never coming back. I don't see why the average modern human would want either of the two. That being said, Daughters boyfriend has a modded 350 that I find beautiful.

This makes me incredibly sad, because I realize what all we have lost. We are more likely to get an interesting car out of Mercury, Studebaker or Kaiser at this point than out of Nissan.

Lifted and rolling on 44's rolling coal!

On a positive note, great day here in Columbus.

Actually I think the Roman face looks Badass. In some ways I like it better than the Gladiator, and am crushing hard on the Gladiator at the moment.

OMG.....I could afford 30K! I am making extra payments on the Ranger and took a five year note rather than a six year because I want to own the next toy. That being said....my 55 Chevy...my 66 Fastback Mustang...My 2002 Miata that I raced, and my TDI 2015 Jetta I think Join with the Ranger as my 5 favorite cars. Ever owned....of all of them...and I have owned over 30, many of them long term. Too early to tell on the Ranger for sure...but a very intense honeymoon period with it right now. . The slow thing is why I bought 2wd, regular cab, light on the options with the Ranger. Plenty of power, but lean more towards that Ford Motorsports tune every time I pull out into traffic. Getting back to "Blu...." Do you ever see yourself putting a more aggressive but still street derivable tire on your truck? I have all terrains on the Ranger and love them. Thinking when I hit 40 or 50K I want to put something like a B F Goodrich K02 on the truck. Think it might be cool if you did something similar.

The holy grail of GM trucks...with one more hole...sorry, couldn't resist, this sucks for 'Blu. Starting to fanboy on the Colorado, love the new Sand Dune ZR2 only color for 2021. I honestly could see picking a ZR2 over a Gladiator if I was going to blow 45 or 50 grand on a midsize truck.

That's a feature not a fault...the car/truck in question can burn to the ground so it can match the rest of the country....urban or rural...right or left...we have gotten damn good at burning things down in 2020.

That does suck...

Unicorn farts work well for me. In all seriousness...I love the Blue on Blu's truck but have seen a bunch of them in black. And I park by a nearly identical truck in white every morning at work. It looks good in black and white also. But it strikes me that ZR2 with the Bison package is 90 percent of the goodness of a Raptor with none of the drawbacks. I can get a ZR2 Bison through my local carwash... something I can't do with a Raptor. Also...much better to try to get a ZR2 into a parking garage when I go to a hockey game than a Raptor. And as much as I like the Gladiator...love it actually...after a 66 Fastback Mustang...a 55 Chevy...two Miatas...a Beetle...a Cooper S...I am kind of ready for something with sleek modern styling. The Colorado does that in spades. You create zero hot air here so...that is consistent with solar energy.

One reason to go Electric! On a positive note, this is gorgeous. I brew my own at home, saves lots of money.

The hot air and greenhouse gas created by the fruitless bickering here is far more damaging to the environment than a coal rolling F350 Superduty, actually. It might Spark a love of electric vehicles.

Considering how Ugly Honda, Nissan, and others build their cars....I think the real vegetables are the people working in design studios.

I will never look at a potato in the same way again...sadly...

Yeah...I find myself thinking about what I will replace the Aveo with. If I don't get a Wrangler or a Bronco I have thought hard about other midsize SUVs. CX5 is too feminine for my tastes... that's from a guy who has owned a Cooper S...new Beetle...two Miatas...but the interior is far superior to anything GM has in the midsize class. Mazda 6 way outclasses the Malibu. I am concerned that the domestic carmakers will become truck and big SUV only. And that market is so lucrative others will find a way in...chicken tax or no chicken tax. And in the midsize SUV segment Toyota has such a lead in Hybrid with the RAV4. I find the interior of the RAV 4 to be distasteful but the resale is world's better than any midsize GM vehicle.

Neat car! I miss nimble well built Japanese cars. I have had friends with every generation of Z...good memories good times.

Exactly why I see Tesla everywhere around here. Exactly why I see Tesla everywhere around here.

Maybe when that Miata got it on with the cardboard box it was a three way with a vacuum cleaner. That thing looks like it belongs on a shop vac. Maybe this thing could suck up sawdust off my wood shop floor... because I would be to embarrassed to take it autocrossing. The original Z car is gorgeous.

Honestly outside of the passable but forgettable Maxima and the reliable but dull and dated Frontier Nissan has completely lost its mojo.

2003...the 350z came out in 2003.

It is a good looking car. Looking forward to seeing the Lexus.

If you don't watch anything else...watch this...impressive.

Cybertruck and electric F150 will both be hits for the right market IMHO. Rivian seems to have no problem getting deposits. I think GM is going to ahve a hard time winning new buyers with current designs. Nothing they build is currently something I want to own either....but Kia and Hyundai seem to be doing a damn fine job brining out products that appeal to mainstream Americans. They are both a hell of a lot more modern than Toyota or Honda. Nissan is way....way....exceedingtly and excessively...behind the curve in so many ways.

On a happier note... Still love ICE...would take the Gladiator over the Tacoma. More ICE love

Not my cupoftea....but my sister just Bought an Escalade. It pulls off the big square body look well, and is a great vehicle. Happy for her...but what she spent would buy a Gladiator Rubicon or a Ford Raptor. They will get it right, and sell plenty. Being the First to market isn't always the best. Google Dehaviland Comet....British had an advantage in Jet passenger air travel....until initial design flaws were revealed. Beoing took the lead and never looked back....until the current fiascos with the 737 MAX. Rivan and Tesla suing each other, that won't end well at all for either of them. No. I think it will be a good product. It's just that fullsize trucks are so lucrative that I think the market will become even more competitive and see new players in the segment eventually. I am saying from a design standpoint, I don't really see them as being above the curve in any real tangible way. I damn sure wouldn't buy a Telluride but a hell of a lot of consumers would take it (and rightfully so) over anything in its segment from Ford, GM, or even Toyota.
