The S-10 had a way underpowered 4 cylinder engine that could barely get up to highway speed let alone when loaded up with anything.
the 2.2 was dogshit, the 4.3 vortec v6 was a beast. It was basically the ls/vortec 350 with 6 cylinders instead of 8.

I had a 2001 s10 for nearly 15 years, it clipped along at 75-80 on the interstate with ease, or i could haul a rick of wood from the holler directly to my wood stove. fucking thing had 400k miles when it finally gave up, and i sold it for about 3/4 of what i paid for it, last i knew the guy i sold it to had rebuilt the engine and it was still running strong.
 
Looks like one of the engineers at Google had a little too much fun. I know this used to be a meme in the mid 2010s but pretty sure it was disabled before 2020, no clue when it was reinstated as Somalian

Probably extremely late to this but just found it amusing

Eliminating most of CAFE standards would be great as are federally accepting kei cars. There are lobbying groups in multiple states convincing local DOT's to stop registering them/revoking registration stating they're "unsafe" for American roads. When its really about farmers buying them en mass and cutting into truck profits. Which are the highest profit per unit (iirc) in the auto market. In my area most farmers have atleast one for spraying, burnings and other small duties. Much more efficiently than what some were doing by buying polaris side by sides

If cafe standards get rolled back, particularly the footprint based MPG loopholes. The primary culprit in cars getting larger and larger as it allows manufacturers to sidestep MPG requirements. Alongside SUV's being classified as "trucks"
I want passenger car diesels. Small light duty diesel trucks. Akin to the VW rabbit trucks or 80's rangers but in selectable 4wd and with DIESELS. Diesels without DPF and Urea. These days if you buy a new diesel truck you factor in the cost of deleting emmisions equipment to ensure its not going to choke itself to death in under 100k miles.

This is a nice sentiment, but I think this is just an attempt to get Chinese vehicle companies to start selling their aluminum coffins in the USA. Domestic car manufacturing in China is extremely competitive and I can see the Chinese bridging a political gap by fulfilling Trump's desire to resurrect US manufacturing.
 
Still working on it.

I can't wait to see what happens next in the wide wide world of lines on maps.
Here you go, dude.. the most famous brand from each state

@COME ON OUT YOU RAPIST the thing with Chinese cars is that the vast majority of them have never passed the standard to be sold in other markets.

Even if we cut back on some regulation, the Chinese shit would still need to pass all sorts of safety shit that they can’t, and they’d need to honor recalls, which they won’t
