Yeah the S10 stopped production in the USA in 2004.

Yah. We have the colorado in the US now, I think that replaces the S10.

Yeah I even checked Wikipedia to make sure.  Brazil is like 1995-present or something.

Yeah it stopped production for a couple years but its coming back as either a 2014 or 2015 model.

I was told that the Chevy S10 was assembled in the US and imported here to prevent troubles with China. Never trust an argentine car dealer.

We have a '93 S10 delivery truck at my job, that thing is fun.

I dunno how factual this is but I'll just repeat what my uncle told me (he's the guy in the car)

in 1952 I found that Lagonda in Indonesia: it was scrapped and missing a lot of bits and pieces
I took it with me to China and did repairs on it until 1956
In 1965(?) I took it to Singapore to race in the Grand Prix
(Did you win??)
Oh yeah
(What place?)
I won. I came in first place.

I've had trouble fact checking this, but he's writing an autobiography, he's been to 56 countries, and he owns 2 lagondas + and Oldsmobile. Not to mention another 4 vehicles.
Likely? Yes.
Facts off? Definitely.
Am I getting a book? With a loving signature and note you bet your ass I am getting a copy!


Our prom theme is great gatsby, think he'd let me borrow his $150,000 Lagonda that he raced in the Singapore Grand Prix?

[XR-7]

Wow he better.

BTW is Lagonda american?

[AdinX]

English
I'm 70% sure it's a British car, my 30% says England.
Max speed of 90mph
He said something about it being a "pre-WWII race," but I dunno how useful that information is

His name is Harry Rabinius. He's my Grandma's brother, on my mom's side of the family

I also got a pic of a 1952 Chevy from going to the range last night with some marine vets, I'll upload that in a sec
Edit:
Go wild Chevy fanboys, the spare tire holder says "heartbeat." The driver said it's the same model he learned how to drive in when he was a boy.

england and Britain are the same country.

[XR-7]

england and Britain are the same country.

England is a country within the United Kingdom/Great Britain.

But yeah they are essentially the same. No different than saying a car was made in Pennsylvania and someone else saying it was made in the United States.

[*FacePalm*]

i like this car i guess

it's called a jeepster and as it's name says it's a roadster but built off of the WWII willys jeep

A while back, maybe in the 90s, I'm pretty sure there was a Jeep Jeepster concept car. I'll look for it when I get home.
