Ugly, totally obtainable cars you want

[Cire]

The car wash thread got me thinking...I have a very nice, well maintained vehicle, but I am seriously thinking about additoinally purchasing a cheap-as-possible ugly truck that I can give zero fucks about.  The ideal situation would be a truck that was as new as possible, had a crap ton of miles, body rust, other blemishes, and yet still have a reliable engine and transmission.  Very tricky situation to try and find just the right mix of "looks like crap but drives like heaven." 

I want the freedom of not giving two shits about what happens to it, yet the confidence to drive it anywhere.  Is this a paradox, a cosmic impossibility even?!?!

These are difficult but not impossibly at all to find. FB marketplace and craigslist(yes it's still a thing and only have it on owner sold) are the best places. If by some chance you come across someone that has a For Sale sign in the window of their vehicle that puppy might as well have a bullseye on it.

I have a 2001 f150 that is this exact truck!

132000 miles lmao

Duct tape holding a side mirror up. Rust along wheel wells etc. got it all

Pro tip for the reliable junker truck crew. Look into nissan titans 2007- earlier 2010’s. If they had regular oil changes, they are like cockroaches. They don’t die.

There are recently an infinite amount of these in Omaha. Just sprung up all of a sudden.

They are like 1/4 the cost of a truck and have the same size bed, better gas mileage, easier to drive like American trucks are some of the dumbest things in the whole world. I want one for weekend truck things without needing a monster truck.

What on earth lol

It is bullshit I cannot have a Toyota hi-lux or one of these Japanese mini trucks but someone can buy a dualie that will never see a scratch on the bed.

Automotive lobby is strong. Have to keep us poor.

They are not street legal tho?

[Kat Kid]

I’m not 100% sure. I know the Toyota hi lux is not.

I have no idea, it’s certainly not stopping them from driving around all over though.

I want a hijet van. Or any kei van really, but I don't want the imported kind with steering wheel on the right side. Not many left sided kind though.

This is all I can think of whenever you guys mention the mini truck.

If i was strolling down Pennsylvania and clams in all his glory came cruising around the corner at 47th on that I would faint.

Looks like a box on two wheels.  Looks better without the cover over the mini bike.
