  1. Some salty states have annual inspections---like Pennsylvania. Others, like Ohio, have no inspections. So lots of rusty chud on the roads here.
  2. ^ a hot rod Henry J.
  3. Bolt is taller inside than the Continental, I would think...the Bolt is a very upright box.
  4. Back on topic, how about the 2020 TRD Pro? I like the shade of green and how the model name is embossed on the rear fenders rather than a decal... I like the front end, simple and relative clean, not as busy and overwrought as many trucks are today.
  5. Got a postal delivery of some Amazon packages this morning, the USPS delivery vehicle was an old Chevy Uplander minivan..haven't seen one of those in ages..
  6. Maybe they will make a big and tall version.
  7. None that I know of...just people stirring up shit...
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Given how old the Tundra is, it still looks good. Don't see them often here, maybe more common on the West Coast..
  13. Yenko Versa.
  14. Ford interiors of the 2010s also. Had a rental F150 back around 2011, interior was gray plastic garbage
  15. Noice...
  16. 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..
  17. 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.
  18. 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..
  19. Yeah, but OZ is down under, so gravity is reversed... j/k
  20. 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.
  21. 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...
  22. 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.
  23. 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..
  24. 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..
