I'm surprised at how little damage there is to the rear of the Cougar for the forces that were involved. Bent the hell out of the rear wheel on the Honda, though. I'm going to guess... old person, wrong gear?

Probably don't want unblocked holes into the door cavity. I figure anyone actually installing tweeters would have to replace or mod the door anyways.. there's absolutely no mounts or holes to screw in a speaker. Toyota's solution is a little better, the speaker holes are molded into a larger door panel and not removable, but behind it is a blocker plate that can be removed. Which means you can jerry rig the speaker in however you want and don't need to worry about loving up the visible parts of the door.

It's the overall look I think - any time I see one, I think "shrunken down school bus". Basically one of these old beasts painted silver with an Infiniti logo slapped on the front/back:  I'd say a majority of modern SUVs and trucks are WAY too loving big nowadays and have been for at least the last decade. I get tired of driving around massive vehicles that are almost as wide as the lane they occupy or dealing with trucks with a half-mile long bed taking up 2 spots because some chucklefuck thinks he needs a Ford Super Heavy Duty 4x4 Turbo Diesel Max to haul his broken push mower to the local Ace Hardware.

Lets be honest here - hauling a pushmower is waaaaaaaaaaaay more work than most full-size pickups on the road today will ever face. Well, at least until they're on their second or third owner...

Just wanted to go on a quick rant here because every single day at work I park in a garage where countless half-ton trucks decide to back in and take up at least two spaces; often, two of these douchecanoes will team up to consume an entire corner of one floor, up to five or six spaces at a time. I fit a push mower, a bicycle, and two patio chairs in my FiST by carefully positioning the seats and folding all the cargo up, and I watched my neighbor tow a 12' trailer with his Ford Excursion to bring his lawn mower and 4 gallon gas tank to the gas station this weekend. The gas station is less than a mile away, and this guy mows his lawn about once a month. That gas will be trash by the time he uses it all, and he probably burned a measurable percentage of his mowers gas capacity driving to and from the gas station. Odds are he left the truck idling while he filled the tank and mower.

Last week I used my vehicle to haul both a push mower to my friend's house and to take four sets of mounting wheels and tires, four sets of unmounted tires, and four new wheels to the mechanic. It's a small* hot hatchback. *small for the US, not one of the tiny things they have in Europe.

I have a coworker who is thinking of buying a new crew cab truck so that he can drive his wife and baby around and keep their tiny little yappy dogs in a cage in the pickup bed. Apparently keeping them out of the interior of the car is really important. Why even have dogs if that's how you feel about them? He takes a bus to work and has an old truck for hauling poo poo. Derp.

That aside, he needs to get something like a Honda Ridgeline at most. Maybe one of the crewcab "mini" trucks, but they're all almost as big (and expensive) as a full-size now. Explorer Sport-trac would work, but they don't make those any more. I kind of miss actual small pickups.

The pictures of the new Ford Ranger just look like another F150 clone. In fact, it looks bigger than the F150 used to be a couple decades ago.

Here's another truck abomination - but maybe someone will think it's awesome. I think it's just strange - an F350 Diesel (pretty sure it was not a gasser), single cab, short bed, dually, and canopy.   Sorry for the potato-quality pictures.

Seems legit if you tow heavy poo poo but have no need for bed storage. Unless long wheelbase has an advantage for towing I'm not aware of, the maneuverability of SWB would definitely be nice.
