Cheap, fun, disposable car... what would you get?

[crazymikey]

Isuzu trooper RS

Only sold in the united states in 1988 ( sold everywhere else all years )

Looks pretty neat which is why i like it

Awww yeah Troopers FTW! That one is sweet.

I used t have an '88 Trooper II with the 2.3 and a 5 speed. Slow as a house, but for some reason, it was so much fun to drive.

I also had a '91 Rodeo LS with a V6. Again, another nice rig. Threw some Pathfinder wheels on it. I loved this thing. I would definetly love another one, but with a 5 speed. I paid $600 for this beast from a used car lot.

I also see that.
My guess is to switch between high/low and/or 2/4wd

if its an ebrake its a funky ebrake. i usually see the push pedal or hand ebrake. never seen that shit before nor have i ever owned a truck or SUV. sue me


whatever it is...it bothers me deeply

I think i will sue you

Its for shifting between 4wd and 2wd as well as 4wd high and low.

[Law Grandeur]

you wont get much lol

so they dont use a button like every other company does. they decided to put another shifter in there?

[wed3k]

they also have twin stick applications so you can shift to 2wd lo because jumping out of your truck to lock and unlock the front hubs gets annoying. buttons suck because the more electronics you have, the more it can break. 90's gmc have an issue with the 4wd solenoid going to shit and causing the truck to be locked into 4wd.

now that makes more sense.

The isuzu troopers have auto locking front hubs which i like.

so do toyotas but a lot of people swap to manual because there's less chance of breaking down on the trails.

A lot of these cars aren't even "disposable" or even a beater lol.
For me a lot of the cars mention I'd end up getting attached too.
Something I won't care for at all is any GM or Chrysler/Dodge (excluding Jeep) other than a muscle car or big truck.

If I got a Cavalier for $500 bucks, I would take it off roading.
She may not come back.

i would get a Toyota starlet lol ...
