real pity GM killed off Holden. not really in the know but the last utes should be quite recent if expensive for a Murican to get hold of in left hand drive.
gotta be 25 years old or older to register an imported car here sadly
tho 25 years ago is a lot more recent than it feels to my ancient ass
because they're just chevys you can do a conversion to side step that. I think I saw a youtube video about it once
Yah, lpoks like that's a thing.
Fucking coooool. An EV swap in one of those would be rad as fuck too.
Jebuz, down here 20 years is considered a classic and qualifies for Historic registration
It's crazy to me that 2004 was 20 years ago. The numbers add up but feel wrong
if back to the future was made today Marty would go back to 1994 and play Smells like teen spirit at the dance
you know, I've been making that joke for so long the timeline doesn't line up properly anymore, wasn't Kurt already dead? who was big in the LATE 90s ... Limp Bizkit?
Yeah but the guitar solo in the movie was more 70s/80s metal. I can’t really think of a good equivalent in terms of what people in early 90s wouldn’t understand. Maybe something like mumble rap.
do you really think anyone understood Limp Bizkit?
I think early 90s me would have got that. Mumble rap OTOH, or maybe something like Insane Clown Posse, but more for the image than the music.
Between the Ford Maverick and especially the Hyundai Santa Cruz, the US market is closer to having utes than it has been in a long time. I shopped them both, but ultimately decided I would replace my 10 year old Subaru Outback with a needlessly upgraded Subaru Outback in the "Wilderness" trim. I tell my wife I had the most boring mid-life crisis ever.
Too bad the bed length is dogshit. They need to start making single cabs again.
If GM had brought back just one Ute and called it the new El Camino they would have made bank.
Or probably not because I want one and nobody buys cars I like.
