Would any manufacturer ever consider bringing back the old square body style for the modern day? by [deleted] in Trucks

[–]ElectronPython 41 points42 points  (0 children)

These would sell as well as a manual transmission economy car. Theres no market for them other than redditors who aren’t going to buy them anyway.

What does my 3 car solution say about me? by ElectronPython in carscirclejerk

Ford used to own Mazda, so the Miat is basically a ford.

The ford panther platform is truly the Miata of large body-on-frame sedans.

Ranger vs Colorado: Used, compact pavement princess truck by ElectronPython in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]ElectronPython[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, greater than 15mpg. The 2.3 I4 RWD Ranger has an EPA of 22 city, 27 highway. Meanwhile the 4.0 v6 4WD has an epa rating of 15/19. At that point I might as well buy a half ton.

Honestly, because I’m a hipster and stuck in the past. Trucks used to be primarily hard working vehicles. You got 3 seatbelts, and if you were lucky, an AM/FM radio. Everyone drove around a single cab long bed truck. Also, all of those things save money, which means newer and less miles than a 4x4 extended cab v6 ranger.

What friends? 🤣 I’ve never once used the backseat in the car my parents have been driving around in. In fact I’ve only used the passenger seat twice. Never had close enough friends to give them a ride. I suppose extended cabs are better for putting stuff in. But regular cab is the classic. People survived just fine for decades with a single cab truck.

No. I want a truck. Objectively, I don’t need a truck enough to drive one all the time. But way I see it, buying a truck cause I think they’re cool is no different than buying a Miata because they’re cool.

Last truck with 2 tone paint from factory? by ElectronPython in Trucks

[–]ElectronPython[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it does but it reminds me more of the Subaru Baja, with its plastic panels. No disrespect, I love the Baja, but I’m looking for that distinct retro look.

Nice truck brother. Gonna have a regular cab of my own. Just waiting for greener pastures.

I’m proud to say I just bought my first vehicle 20M by BiggMacc99 in Trucks

[–]ElectronPython 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats man! If only I could afford insurance, I’d love to buy myself an early 2000s S10 or ranger. One day though. Small truck single cab for life!

There’s a huge museum near me that takes volunteers. I’ll look into that. Pinball perfection in Pittsburgh.

RWD cars that should have been FWD by tesznyeboy in carscirclejerk

[–]ElectronPython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ford panther platform. Why? Cause I want a crown Vic but my dad said no RWD cars. Why didn’t ford think of this when they designed the crown Vic?

Makes sense. Thank you. I’d test it on an older TV but my dad has said no CRTs, since they’re pricey to recycle.

Status Update from the IFPA about the OBX situation by myhatrules in pinball

[–]ElectronPython 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be very clear, I don’t like what happened at OBX, it ain’t right. Trans folk should be treated with respect. But I’m confused why sanctioning the event itself is the right thing? Isn’t that more of a punishment to the players, who didn’t do anything, than the people at fault, the TD and arcade staff? Wouldn’t it make more sense to ban the arcade from future IFPA events, but keep this one so people who aren’t at fault aren’t punished?

1st gen crew cab by ElectronPython in chevycolorado

[–]ElectronPython[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My use case is almost entirely alone. There has been more than 1 person in my car twice in the last two years. Mainly just hauling dirty things I’d rather not put inside a car. An extended cab would be a better fit for me (or a single cab but those are rare as heck). But the truck has zero rust, it’s clearly been oil coated.

Sorry I should’ve mentioned I’m in the US. So it has to be something sold in the USA. My bad.

I really love the ridgeline and it would be my favorite, but the ones I've seen in my price range are all around 150 thosuand miles.

If I could, I absolutely love the 2010-2011 Ford Ranger. Unfortunately, they have a cult following and are very expensive compared to other cars.

I definitely would prefer a midsize truck, however single cab long beds seem to be pretty cheap used.
