The "Nowhere Else to Put This Insane Crap" thread NEPTIC

[NearJetties]

Detailed analysis in the link below.

Owners manual says it should be in gear and TC in neutral. Looking at the lever I could see how they thought it was in neutral but was actually in 4 lo. I’ve also seen two reviews where the reviewer had a to exert a lot of pressure to move the TC lever on Galdiators. Still idiots though.

what I picture is....mmm seems a bit noisier and sluggish than normal...nothing a little more pedal and the volume knob on the stereo won’t fix.

Was 2021 a great year? Not exactly! But we did have some posts that did good traffic. Take a walk down memory lane with us, as we think back on 2021, a year that will seem much better by this time in 2022.

Anyone know of a Toyota event that was going on this weekend? Coming back up from GA and saw a few trailers pulling what looked like roll caged up mini trucks going down 85 south. Then saw a guy pulling a gx470 modded like crazy on a trailer down 77 south

Cool history... annoying inflection.
He didn't make a convincing argument to support his belief of the demise of TRD. I don't share his pessimism.

 

[iptman]

Agree on his inflection. Sounds like he's narrating an NPR podcast. I would like to see more GR spec vehicles coming to the US though. I've read several articles on the GR Yaris and it's pretty bad ass. I'd love to have a commuter car like that.

I wonder why??? I think this was done on purpose

Check out the new Bronco.

 

[Jakes40]

Looks like a Rover or an Explorer!

@1MOA can you go back and get a better pic of the sticker?

 

[iptman]

Yeah that's not the real Bronco. I get why they do it like this, trying to glom on to the good pub from the Bronco but I think it waters down the cache of the "Bronco" name plate. Like if they called the RAV4 a Land Cruiser Sport.

I was going to post the exact same observation. Looks like a Rover.

Sh... don't give them ideas! They're already stopping the LC as we know it, but saying the name plate will be around

I was coming home from work at midnight and saw them unloading them at the Ford dealer. My phone camera doesn’t cut it. The sticker is $35K

 

[rrc swb]

Interesting... It does look like a Range Rover.

But $35k MSRP is not a bad price to be honest.

That's probably $30k with intensives and what not.

There's a Ford dealer here in Annanadale... I'll try to swing by to see if they have them.

Ignore the "Sport" and look for the real Bronco, particularly any with the Sasquatch package.
