    That ain't no truck

    Now this is a truck!



    When I lived in Colorado Springs one of my neighbors had one of these, with the diesel engine. It would wake me every day around 6 am when he warmed it up.


    Wikipedia says:

    226.7 in (5758 mm) long

    80.0 in (2032 mm) wide

    7,190 lb (3,260 kg)

    Escape = Run till they stop chasing us... that could be a while = Small SUV.


    Explorer = Don't know when it's going to end = Normal SUV.


    Expedition = Long ass trip but we know where we're going = Big SUV.


    Excursion = Short trip down to the shops = "Holy f*ck that thing's huge!"-UV.

    he Jane-Finch community has one of the largest concentrations of criminal gangs of any area in Canada. It also has "one of the highest proportions of youth, sole-supported families, refugees and immigrants, low-income earners and public housing tenants of any community in Toronto"

    PeterO's writing brings back a critical element that left with the Jalopnik 1.0 staff. I'm glad to have it back.


    That said, I'm gonna lean towards a de-badged RS4, on account of the underseat gun-holders for daily driver duty and a G-wagen for Serious Business duty.

    I never know what to expect from these posts produced by the Crazy Euro Car Boy. I wonder what his take on the American car scene (once he comes back over the pond that is) will be.


    His Oldsmobile piece was interesting, this posting is just plain puzzling. I was only vaguely familiar with Haradinaj, since our news here in America deals with mostly America, but I digress. Add in a little history with a random shot, and, well, ther you have it. Like I said, puzzling.

    Oh and do read Langewiesche's piece on Haradinaj. It's mesmerizing.
