All ads are photochopped.

Particularly when there's womens in them.

But look at what they're selling...
 
It looks like the wagon is white and they changed the color to red with a very crude mask.
 
Yeah, look at the window trim and door handles.
Also the indicator light spots on the front fenders, and the side mirrors.

Very poorly done Photoshop color change.

Might not even be Photoshop. Might be MS Paint......

Where’s my parade?

Last night I was calculating zinc load in my oil if I added 1oz of the Lucas stuff that’s like straight zinc in a bottle 🫤

I guess I’m one of “them” now.

I just use the AMSOIL 10W-40 that has zinc in it 😁

No, that’s where the gun show is at.

True, any zinc is bad for catalytic converters (which our 60s and 62s have), however zinc is necessary to prevent excessive wear on flat tappet cams (which our 60s and 62s also have). So we're given a catch-22 by having both flat tappet cams AND catalytic converters. Now obviously we can't just swap the valvetrain to a more modern design, and of course we want our engines to last as long as possible, so what are we to do when this necessitates the use of a zinc-containing oil?

I know!!

The fact that our rigs have become synonymous with hipsters really grinds my gears. I guess I should be grateful if we're talking about resale value.

First it was long beards, so I shaved.
Then it was Filson, so I kept my old vest in the closet.
Then it was tattoos--not much I can do about those.
Then they came for our landcruisers. And that's where I draw the line.
