What? RWD pretty much only exists in the classes it's needed in anymore. Low-end pickup trucks and sports cars concerned with weight. Lower-end luxury sedans are pretty much the only category that has RWD without really needing it. FWD dominates the lower end market and then pretty much everyone who lives where it snows is convinced that a higher end vehicle is worthless without 4/AWD.

quote:

rwd makes it too easy to spin out
FWD makes it too hard to take a corner sideways :colbert:

Seriously though, I have driven mostly RWD in snowy Northern Ohio my entire life and the only times I've ever spun out have been when I've been doing something dumb (usually the above). Especially in the context of a modern car with traction control, if you're finding RWD prone to spinning you either need new tires or need to learn that the gas pedal is an analog control.

Turbo 4wd 5-speed with non-working AC.

I'd 100% bid on this but thinking on it a bit...it wouldn't be financially responsible

People who grew up driving FWD simply don't know how to do this. I hear the bitching from my cop buddies about how the "kids" are always wrecking the few remaining crown vics.

Speaking as a P71 owner, I can confirm that you can bring that big bitch's rear end around surprisingly easily, especially if you turn the traction control off.

Mine was one of the early Aeros with the "low speed traction control" that doesn't have a defeat switch. I got really good at finding the ABS fuse under the dash by feel.

And yes, they have some real momentum when that rear end starts swinging, I'd imagine especially in cop trim with a full trunk of gear.

The Pajero Minis are still in Japan. They'll just be riding the next ship out together, though they will not exit to the same US port.

Looks rad, no AC but spec-wise I'd say vinyl seats are pretty desirable, especially with that mileage. Single cab is alright even if you will be hit with 25% rather than 2.5%, but where are you going to get another not-even-broken-in diesel, manual, Toyota Hilux pickup?

I didn't have time to get this inspected or bid... but it doesn't show a sale price? I know you explained when an auction result shows " 0¥" as final price but I can't remember what it was...

this is the results link: https://auc.japancardirect.com/st-2fy0mZaoWVyUvMp.htm

does this mean it wasn't sold/didn't meet reserve or something?

Y’know, I’ve yet to see a top gear episode where they’ve rigged a vehicle to drive from the top of an extended bucket. Maybe there’s a thought!

Is that hello kitty in the logo? That's gotta be at least +10hp. Seriously though I love that interior. Reminds me of a 70s private plane.

You need to get a vanity plate of some permutation of 'gently caress it bucket' for that kei thing!

Overall I am happy with the Hi Ace camper. If I had in it what I won it for plus shipping I would be ecstatic but through a series of unfortunate events I am in it for way over a million. But it is a super low mile Hi Ace diesel camper now with brand new timing belt/radiator/water pump/tires and should be ready to drive anywhere once I spruce it up. But I am definitely going to be selling this one...
