    State of Utah thinks it's a 1980 CJ7. There's literally nothing left of that at this point. Mostly '89 Suburban (wiring harness, steering column, 350/700), K30 (axles), YJ tub, YJ frame, MB grille.... lots of other junk

    I have a Gladiator the last 18 months. I like it quite a bit and the CJ7 get's left home (ORI struts are in the works for that now)

    Not real random but these Buicks were at a local roll-in tonight along with this cool 4 speed Marlin (which I’m trying to buy!).

    I didn't know they were out in the wild but my daughter caught this fish in a parking garage near us:

    Geeze those are ugly... I was next to a blue one in Clearwater yesterday. It looks like a kindergarten art class designed it!

    What the hell is it? (Aside for the definition of ugly).

    Tesla CyberTruck. I saw one on the back of a car hauler in Akron yesterday. It was boxy and kind of large looking too.

    I think cyber el camino describes those better than calling it a truck

    I actually saw one of those bizarre Tesla trucks on the road today. I was in left-turning traffic and wasn't about to go for my cell phone, but they're just as ugly in the real world as they are in photos. What would possess someone to buy one? Yuk!

    They look like something someone made in their backyard. The dash is blank except for an iPad in the middle. Btw, the last week or so Tesla recalled ALL of these things. Progress!

    I'm not really a Ford guy,(except for a few special cars) but some of those first-generation Mustangs were really nice looking. I do realize that they are essentially a partially rebodied Falcon, but they don't drive too badly if the chassis is in good shape, and I am just amazed at the monster engines that Ford eventually crammed into them. The big-engine Mustangs were not much fun to do underhood work though.
