They're getting sloppier about it, but no, it's still much more than the s(hittybodykit)-line

The M235i and 1M Coupe, despite not being "real" M cars, are pretty serious performance trims. Far more than just an appearance package on a base model.

The trouble is BMW uses M is too many different contexts 'M Sport' is just an appearance package which you can on everything down to the lowliest three cylinder 118i

  MICROPENIS VEHICLE SPOTTED ... it had what looked to be a roto tiller in the bed. That had to be fun to load with it being halfway to the clouds. The key was also still hanging out of one of the side storage compartments (not visible, but behind the fuel tanks). I was surprised that it (a) didn't have stacks and (b) didn't seem to have an (active) smoke tune. I never knew the F-650 was offered in an XLT trim. I'd probably have a heart attack if I saw the cost of the thing.. plus the whole "let's get a commercial truck chassis and toss some leather and extra doors at it!" bit. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 07:29 on Oct 17, 2015 |

XLT is basically 'acceptable truck you actually have to drive.' XT is for work crews. Where the person buying the truck never actually drives in it. XLT adds lavish features like power windows and locks.

It was the top spec back as the XLT Lariat in 91 and then became the midgrade and down from then.

When my ranger 4x4 got written off due to a hail storm, the one good thing about my 1 tonne falcon ute replacement was it was easier to load as it was lower to the ground. E: On the downside no more camping and fishing trips or 4 wheeling along the beach. But it was supposed to be a work vehicle anyway. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Oct 18, 2015 |

XLT adds lavish features like power windows and locks.  Depends on the year model.My 1980 F-150 Ranger XLT didn't have power windows or locks. Apparently back then it just got you carpet, a clock, and a few other things. Technically speaking the Ranger option package got most of the creature comforts back then - it had a/c, digital clock w/trip timer, am/fm/cassette ~stereo~, bench seat with cloth, full carpet, headliner, cruise control... pretty nice for a 1980. Only gauges were fuel, temp, and speed though, which bit me in the rear end several times, since the engine had a factory rust prevention system that would make Land Rover engineers foam at the mouth (the light would only come on once it'd been without oil pressure of any kind for a bit). GutBomb posted:Working guy using unmolested work truck to move work stuff isn't terrible car stuff. This is the first time I've seen this truck actually have anything in the bed. Usually I see it with an empty bed and 1 person in the cab (far from the first time I've seen this truck around). Plus you may have noticed that the bottom of the body is roughly equal with the front clip of the Ford Ranger next to it. How the hell do you even load/unload something like that without a dock and/or forklift? Also, it has stickers from these guys on it: quote:Today, F650 Supertrucks is a registered Ford upfitter and builds 50 custom trucks for a discreet customer base of people who know what they like and want it to be completed in a timely fashion.

Really? A "discreet customer base of people who know what they like and want it to be completed in a timely fashion"? That's how they used to describe customers for penis enlargement pumps on AM radio during the 90s.

I thought so too but my wife tipped me off that Liesel is a common German name. Probably just a coincidence. It takes 2 months to get a vanity plate in Massachusetts. Probably similar in other states.

It's terrible but I have an odd appreciation for it. That's a solar panel on the back. The whole thing has been very crudely painted green with a paint brush. Pretty sure it was a taxi from the yellow peeking through between bristle marks. That little rectangle on the roof addon seems to be a small numberplate. Going south of the border never fails to show me wonders. e: Not tiny version. I fail at mobile uploads.

Don't play rolling roadblock no matter how much the rear end in a top hat behind you might deserve it. Just let them go. The Washington Post posted:A 4-year-old girl is dead after gunfire erupted on a New Mexico highway during what appeared to be a confrontation fueled by road rage. And police are scrambling for any leads to solve the crime. It's a really badly written article though in that it seems to repeatedly call the truck a car and doesn't mention if the red truck was the shooter or the shootee. Another article posted:A red pickup truck which appeared to have a bullet hole in the rear window was seen pulled over on the interstate, which was shut down, but police would not confirm it was involved.
