He's probably one of those people who thinks he should get everything he has in it back out of it.

[Chris GTO TT]

And also make a profit

[Monochrome]

Who does that shit?

....oh wait....

The want is strong in this one...

[Chris GTO TT]

That Defender 110

I could never justify the $36k current bid though

[stealthee]

The Bronco made me jizz a little.

[stealthee]

Saw this on the side

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1997- ... ra-type-r/

The fuck is anyone smoking to think that car is worth anything near $40k? And by the looks of the clutch pedal it looks like that car has more like 200k miles than it does 58k miles. Hell the clutch pedal in my Stealth is in better shape and that car has 195k miles. My brother just bought an Integra and it has 170k and its pedals are in better shape.

[Chris GTO TT]

I could see a perfectly clean ITR for $40 but that's about twice what that car is actually worth IMO

Yeah, I could see that one going for near 20, but not anywhere near 40.

[alienviking]

The ITR is insanity.

And I love Defenders. Actually keeping my eye on the new one coming out..

You hate SUV's but want a Defender?

[Jeff V.]

He grew up on a farm, and a Defender is pretty much a tractor with nicer seats, so....

I hate what SUVs have become. Soft soccer mom mobiles. Basically just raised station wagons - aka turning wagons into something less good. The Defender has always been something else.. something more raw.. brutal.. purposeful.. square.. It probably doesn't make sense...

So you like my Humvee.

Well let's not get completely crazy here, now...

I get what you’re saying, I too dislike where the SUV/CUV has gone. They’re basically just ruined wagons. It is part of why I picked out the generation of Explorer I have. Last body on frame, with real 4x4 (low range), and actually able to tow something with real mass.

[alienviking]

Yep. And I see the same thing with trucks as well.. half the trucks have 22" chromies and have never even seen a dirt road. Just stupid.

[Chris GTO TT]

Yeah but at least it's still possible to spec out a truck with actual towing and hauling capacity. My problem is how stupid expensive they've become. New the F150 I'd want is 55k

[Jeff V.]

I finally figured out the truck equation.

Look at it as a uniquely American luxury car rather than a tool for doing work.

It's for when you want to tower over everyone else, in a comfortable throne of heated and cooled leather, while providing the appearance of being able to go anywhere and do anything.
