I am no expert, but I think that it's more off road than most of the M'rican tanks (especially the Cybertruck)

Murican trucks are pavement princess short-bed towtrucks rather than haulers and offroaders now, sadly. I'd love an affordable open-bed hauler with some modern creature comforts (good AC, heated steering wheel, defrosting windshield/rear-window, ventilated seats, android auto, relatively low bed-height for easy loading)

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

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

because they're just chevys you can do a conversion to side step that. I think I saw a youtube video about it once

[–] noxy@yiffit.net 1 points 2 months ago

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

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

do you really think anyone understood Limp Bizkit?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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.
