Uh, while I also agree modern trucks are unnecessary large, I think you might be a tad lost. Your post history in this community is primarily disparaging vehicles. It's good conversation and all, don't get me wrong, but perhaps this kind of ragging feels more suited elsewhere.

I think you got me confused with someone else because this couldn't be further from the truth lol. I've worked as a mechanic and I own two classic cars.

Alrighty. I'll concede. 🙂

I also own a few classics, including a Porsche 944 turbo with popup headlights. But it stopped running almost a decade ago. Poor car.

Oooh, pretty! Shame it doesn't run

Ha yeah. It was repainted "Black Cherry" ages ago. Really nice color in the sun.

I think the turbo is leaking oil, fouling stuff pretty quick, and I dislodged the firewall pumping the clutch so that needs a few welds to keep from flexing. Lots of stuff to do on that car, and other projects had priority.
