Whoa. I never knew such a thing existed. Designed and built for the classy redneck?

I am weirdly in love.

That owns a cat house in Nevada? What kind of euphemism is "Gentleman Rancher?"

I actually thought this was going to be somebody's smashed up car from hitting a 2000 lb beast in the northern climes...

A guy who's already rich and needs something to do. He buys a ranch, some cows and calls himself a rancher.

That looks like a repainted flower car, like the kind used in funerals.

Most flower cars are 4 doors mad into El Caminos, still using the rear door for golf clubs or something.

Mirages and Caribous were prupose built to be ElCamino like.

I am strangely attracted to that Caribou. It makes me just want to cruise.
