Revelations

I was in Charlotte North Carolina in 2015. The billboard outside my hotel had the 1999 Truck Of The Year proudly advertised by Chevrolet.

Got a flat tire going to the cottage on Thursday night, so went to a garage in town, "OK Pneus", during my lunch break on Friday to get it repaired. Their loaner fleet consists of a mid-90s Taurus and a mid-90s Sunfire, both in old man tan and in shockingly good shape. Can't remember the last time I've seen the oval Taurus. I almost wish I needed a loaner, a total step back in time ;D

You can see them here: https://www.google.com/maps/@46.04311,-74.2651592,3a,53.5y,185.03h,88.61t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sTMWTwNM4I_Agl4R2GjXVfQ!2e0!5s20240901T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D1.3858530763505144%26panoid%3DTMWTwNM4I_Agl4R2GjXVfQ%26yaw%3D185.02536388536157!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDMxMi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

I still kind of want a Tracker ZR2

Revelations

Those Trackers are worth way too much money in good shape. Here in BC they have a cult following. Not a nice thing to drive, I've had a few. Street legal side x side, and a I give the nod to most side x sides for driving refinement/power/comfort.

I'd like one for our NB trips, would be used basically as a sideXside off-road and beaches and around the island.

I'd probably go with some Suzuki for that purpose, obviously choice is the Samurai but some of their more newer offerings can be had cheap and are decent off-road.

Yeah, it's on par for what we have out here. Maybe even a bit cheaper.

Tracker is a Suzuki Vitara with Chevy badges.

Sold already, whatever it was.

Mind blown when I saw this early 2000's Impala still in active service with the Memphis Police Department. They usually run Chargers, but I saw a news story a few weeks back about how the department was running short on patrol cars because their cars keep getting damaged and/or breaking down. Has me wondering whether this Impala has been in continuous service, or if it was dusted off from a Police warehouse somewhere and pressed back into service to cover the shortage on Chargers. Either way, it was really cool to see.
