    Maybe they will make a big and tall version.

    None that I know of...just people stirring up shit...

    Also because of the pandemic, I saw Jeep is delaying the next gen GC and the new Wagoneer to MY 2022 also, and that the 2021 GC will be carried over from 2020, but w/ the addition of an 80th anniversary edition.

    Because race cars usually don't have mufflers, resonators, sound deadening....race cars tend to be very loud and raw sounding, whether EVs or ICE powered.

    Rusty framed Tacomas from 15-20 years ago have no relevance to what they are building now. Just like the ignition recall on old vehicles has no relevance to what GM is building now.
  6. Robert Hall
    Those are all old ones, though...and Tacomas, not Tundras. The thing I see here in NE Ohio is a lot of cab and bed rust out on 10-20 yr old Rams, Fords and GM trucks...frames probably rusty also. Rusty framed Tacomas from 15-20 years ago have no relevance on what they are building now.

    Given how old the Tundra is, it still looks good. Don't see them often here, maybe more common on the West Coast..

    Yenko Versa.

    2020 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro CrewMax 10.jpg
    Ford interiors of the 2010s also. Had a rental F150 back around 2011, interior was gray plastic garbage

    Noice...

    That makes sense for your use case. Since I RDP into my work VM and servers, I never have to upload work product from my home Mac..

    Good deal...I'm paying $131/mo for Cox Gigablast...the download varies, usually in the 500-650 mb range predictably. I don't care about upload speeds.

    I always wondered about those little mini motorhomes on Toyota pickup chassis...and mini Haul trucks as well.. There are a lot of odd names I've seen for children in recent years...Jaden, Krylon, Caden, Kyler, Nason, etc..not sure where people get them..
  15. Robert Hall
    Yeah, but OZ is down under, so gravity is reversed... j/k

    Who knows...different country, different things. This is where I got the numbers for the 2005 models. http://australiancar.reviews/_pdfs/Holden_Ute-Crewman-OneTonner_VZ_Specifications_200505.pdf After the Commodore went away (2017?), they did offer a Colorado one-tonner for a couple years, which is definitely a truck.
  17. Robert Hall
    That's an Australian ton which is 1000kg (2204 lbs). According to the specs, the 2005 Holden One Tonner had a payload capacity of 1283 kg (2828 lbs) w/ the V8 and auto. The Utes and Crewmans had a lighter payload rating, like 6-700 kg. Holden also offered a 4dr Ute in the mid 00s---here's a 2005 Crewman...

    The old stuff was body on frame, not sure about the modern ones. The Holden one-tonners (no bed) like this would probably be BOF, though it has a car front clip.. But these---a Commmodore based ute and a Falcon based ute, are probably unibody.. Found a pic of a 2003 one-tonner.
  19. Robert Hall
    Yeah, the El Camino and Ranchero car-based truck idea first appeared as utes in Australia decades before the US had such vehicles....first ones were in the 30s I think. Seen pics of neat looking '49 Ford and '49 Chevy Utes from OZ..

    Given the complexity of vehicles today esp. w/ the electronics, I don't know if I want to go for longevity anymore....10 years or 100,000 miles seems like enough. There are so many systems in a modern car and failure points, and planned obsolescence of certain components..
  21. Robert Hall
    I can't take seriously the legendary Yenko name applied to an ugly ass truck. Now a modern use of the name on a Camaro, that would make sense.

    There are many things. My local high school in Ohio used to call their sports teams the Rebels and used the Confederate Flag as their logo..couldn't do that shit today...but it does give pause, why would a school in Ohio (Midwest) use the Southern traitor flag logo? Probably because the school district was Indian Valley South (there was also an Indian Valley North, and they combined in 1989). They did that from '67-88 IIRC. My S. Florida high school, on the other hand, had the inoffensive 'Dolphins' team name w/ a yellow dolphin against a blue background. Coincidentally, both my college (Kent State) and grad school (U. of Michigan) have yellow on blue logos...

    Streamed the espionage drama 'The Night Manager' over the weekend, a solid effort from the BBC and AMC, based on a John LeCarre novel. Hugh Laurie was quite good as a villain. Has Tom Hiddleston (before he was Marvel's Loki) and Olivia Coleman (Broadchurch, The Crown). Lots of interesting international settings incl. Mallorca, Cairo and Switzerland.

    The Astra was the Opel/Vauxhall Astra in Europe, the Corsa was a smaller car (more Sonic sized). The Astra some years in Europe was a available with an interesting optional windshield that wrapped up into the roof. There was also a folding hardtop cabrio version (called Twin Top), kind of the predecessor of the Cascada.
