    I’d probably go with 95chero instead of El Saabino. The Calvin sticker on the tailgate suggests the owner isn’t particularly fond of the GM merger era.

      El 95ino, since there are more ties to GM than Ford or Chryco (despite Calvin)

        This one’s a bullnose but the later years of the 95 use a Ford V4 engine, making the FoMoCo connection closer for this model, and indeed for the entire 95-96-97 range.

      I like the 9000T. T stands for Truck.

    “EPA traktor” is a Swedish oddity that allows kids to drive cars. It’s an internet rabbit hole, too:

      Weird. So, basically you take a car, turn it into a truck, and declare it only for farm use? I don’t see how a slammed Volvo or Benz would be much use in the fields.

          Lol actually, I am. We had a dirt go-kart track separate from our planted fields. Dad built homemade karts powered by 175-cc dirt bike engines, giving my sister and I (and a friend) plenty to keep us entertained. The brakes sucked and they lacked reverse, but they were a blast.
