    I live in the country, so that’s not even an option for me.

    And i did live in the country for a while too, our "roads" are too damn rough for bikes, sometimes walking is the best option

    Edit: You live in Minnesota right? How smooth would you rate your dirt and gravel roads (including the less travelled ones)

    Luckily, no.
    it depends on what kind of building are on it. Farms and such have rough roads, gravel roads with houses and not many farms are pretty smooth, etc.

    There were way more SUVs in the 80s then just the Suburban. Theres the K5 Blazer, the S10 Blazer, their GMC counterparts, the Bronco, the Bronco II, the Ramcharger, the Cherokee, the Wagoneer, the Isuzu Trooper, the Mitsubishi Pajero, the Land Cruiser, the Range Rover, the Lada Niva, and some others.

    Would you say that those rough farm roads be 1960 Phord Falcon friendly or not?

    Most likely. I mean, a lot of them have semi truck-induced ruts, but if you drive a little off-center, you can avoid them.

    I mean, some are literally undrivable with anything less than an F250, but most aren’t too bad.

    anybody familiar with hondas here?
    I might look at a really cheap '92 Del Sol with the 125hp engine, according to the seller it has no rust and engine and transmission are good.
    does anybody know how long these engines last? this particular one has 250k km.
    and is there anything to look out for except the obvious rust?

    I have an old Corolla too, 2004 to be exact. I drive it on a very dusty, very rutted, partially overgrown road.

    I went offroading with my MK4 golf once cant recommend it since the front end is super low. Rallying however is loads of fun with it since the chassis is actually super capable handlingwise

    No. I did just drive by a dealership with a 1965 Plymouth Fury, a 1968 Ford Thunderbird, a 1979 Chevrolet El Camino with a B&M shifter, and a 1938 Ford pickup for sale among crossovers. I love the Thunderbird, but I like the Fury as well. It had a 400 cubic inch V8, a 4-speed Hurst, and many other period-appropriate modifications. I really want it, and it’s $1,000 less than the AMC.

    Avoid that T bird at all costs mate, because i doubt you'll have the capital to keep it on the road. Heres a tip: Never buy an old luxury car, unless you earn more than $1700 a week, it'll only end in tears...

    Now those '65-66 C body mopars are probably the best Chrysler ever made, not only that, the Fury is a hardtop which is awesome, rare, and attractive, its even a damn manual (i doubt thats factory) which is even better. Personally i would get rid of those ugly assed chintzy looking gauge junk and woodgrain but hey whatever floats your boat, also the exhaust could be a little more low key. As long as its complete, has solid wiring (recommend to add headlight relays, that way you dont have deal with unsafe modern sealed beams) and it doesn't have a Holley on it, then thats a car that'll last you very long time. If you want something a bit cheaper, less durable, less lasting and something thats easier to get stuff for, then that El camino and old Ford will do just fine

    Yeah, I don’t really like much of the Fury’s interior, but I love the Thunderbird’s. I really like the Thunderbird’s dash, and the fact that it’s a sedan. But, the Fury has a damn 400ci V8 + a 4-speed, and Scat Pack badging. Does that mean it can run sub-14s? I’d love to buy this.
