Ford Explorer

by Harvey Xiao

There was a time when the Ford Explorer out sold the Toyota Camry. Gas was $1/gallon. Global warming wasn’t yet invented. 

…

So before you crown us as fools for suggesting you buy this for $2k, let me explain our reasoning. If the government EVER brings back Cash for Clunkers, this is the IDEAL car to have. Under 18 mpg? CHECK! Worthless piece of rotting crap that you’d be lucky to get $500 for, let alone $4k? CHECK! 

And while you’re waiting, this isn’t a horrible thing to have around. It’s ideal for your Sunday morning Home Depot manure runs, for instance. It’s also not terribly complicated to maintain.

Hell, with proper tires, you can even teach it to flip on the freeway. The possibilities are endless.

P.S.

Remember the Explorer Sport? What the hell was the point of that?
