Andrew St Pierre White has been an enormous inspiration for many years. If there’s a 4x4 old school, I’d nominate this gentleman for Headmaster.

He’s been way into HiAce lately.

I thought this was a good analysis. More from an off-road perspective but covered Kei as well. The price part was the real eye opener for me.

I couldn’t agree more. @nevada-stray-cat.bsky.social, we should do a top 10 or something.

I do wonder what these would be like on I-80 between Salt Lake and Reno in the summer. Also, over Donner in winter.

It’s probably too early to tell. This also comes on recent news of emissions and MPG rollbacks. Not sure what it all means in total, except potentially huge market changes. When is also a big question.
