To be clear, I just turned 39 and am not dogging on the olds since I am right there with them:  Sprocket here makes this picture awesome, ok.

On the other hand, I'm concerned how much of the original unibody is left or if any reinforcement was done to compensate for the apparent lack of the original roof behind the B-pillar.

It was more by circumstance instead of choice on her part, so tough convincing that it's actually a badass little car. No, it can't haul a moose out of the back country, ya got me there. But look, you just fixed the door latch with a butter knife and a spring from Ace Hardware.

NoWake posted:This woman I know in Alaska rocked a 1st gen, 5-MT tin top Tracker.  My wife had one for a couple years right before we started our dealership, only a 2WD version though for smooth-flat-pavement Florida. Exceptionally easy to work on and just a good performing car. Rad as gently caress look too.  Replaced with a 1989 Suzuki Jimny from Japan and while it looks fantastic they are actually kind of lovely vehicles to use use, but great to be seen in. There are no 2WD Jimnys that I am aware of.  Further replaced with a 1994 Daihatsu Mira RV4, a turbo keicar AWD hatchback. If you know what a VW Golf Country is, it's a 660 cc version of that but better built.  Now we are deciding if we keep our Prado or the Caldina instead as we like them both but it WOULD be silly to have two ~fun~ cars like this. Both are turbo 4cyl AWD/4WD manual transmission Toyotas but their execution is a bit different from each other  IN CONCLUSION Geo Trackers are fantastic and we are well beyond the point of that even being debatable, it is now an understood truth.

When I was living in Kenya, besides the Land Cruisers and Defenders, one of the most common vehicles was the Maruti Gypsy Maruti being the Indian brand for Suzuki. They were great off-road. Good 4WD and light enough that they were hard to get stuck enough that they couldn’t be dislodged with only a couple of people pushing. Simple and cheap to fix. Really lovely on the highway. The ads claimed they could seat 8 people, which is an insane claim unless they’re hauling a load of 10 year old kids. It’s the chassis of an older Jimny, so it’s not a big car.

Looks like they started production in '88 so they qualify for import Who wants to split shipping three to the US? we'll sell the worst one and use it to cover the shipping costs. Should be able to ship 3.2 in a standard 40' container

I found an open gallery of every car ever. https://a2goos.com/data_images/galleryes/ It has a landing page - a2goos.com - which is in Russian, and sure Google image search is a thing, but will GIS let you discover weird poo poo like a Maserati khamsin just by scrolling a list and wondering what the gently caress is a Maserati khamsin?

I couldn't find an "awesome public transport poo poo" thread, so in here it goes. Yesterday, I was wooing a lady by telling her about how hosed Up public transport is in my city. I started digging up photos from way back and lo and behold: we used to have cab-and-trailer style buses for a fair chunk of the late forties until the late fifties.   These are already amazing on their own, because Big Truck™, but then: I stumbled across a caption that made me   quote:A Gdynia bus consisting of a Hanomag SS100 cab (likely with an engine from a Sherman M4A2 tank disabled near Rudno) and a modernised trailer, inventory number 16.

quote:While artist Eric Staller's light drawings are beautiful in their own right, keep in mind that they were created in New York City in the 1970s using only a Nikon 35mm film camera, July 4th streamers, and Christmas lights, and you can't help but unless blown away. By day, Staller strolled through New York, studying the places he felt would "articulate the particular choreography or architecture of light" he wanted to express. At night, he carefully positioned his camera on a tripod and, with the lens open for several minutes, deliberately moved through urban spaces; outlining cars, streets and stairways and even forming magical looking tunnels brought to life through his imagination.

I've already seen a number of weird-to-the-US things up from Mexico, like the little MB A-class (not the current A-class - the original pretty-much-a-Smart-car one.) That little RAM barely even has a bed. edit: eh, about 1M on the Crew Cab. Not that bad, and they sell a single-cab version with a bed a tad over 6'. The bed is fairly deep due to FWD. Actually a Fiat Strada, of course, and smaller than a BMW 2-series, according to articles. Darchangel fucked around with this message at 23:53 on May 15, 2023 |

Spotted this Audi Coupe GT the other day in Bath, looked like it was part of some kind of adventure rally passing through. It's no quattro but still pretty sick, and a long way from home so obviously gets driven plenty.

Only downside of coupes are the very long doors. Tight garages and rude people in parking lots ruin everything.

Went on a Mini run with a couple of friends and they both parked on my driveway next to my Mk3 Supra and two fitted in roughly the same size space. The doors on the Supra being as long as the entire passenger compartment of a Mini Big door supremacy.
