This Minnesota-based ride is up for sale for $27,000. It's a manual and one of only 475 produced with this build c

Sixty grand is a lot of money. These days, that sum also gets you a lot of truck from pretty much anyone you want it from. Toyota will sell you one heck of a Tacoma for that kind of money — one built for all the rigors of off-road use, overlanding, or any number of trendy outdoor activities (pickleball, anyone?).

If you’ve ever shopped for a radar detector, you’ve probably heard the name Valentine. One of the most well-known brands in the industry just lost its founder and namesake leader. Mike D. Valentine passed away at the age of 74 at his home. Valentine’s legacy can’t be overstated.

We have a story today about two of our contributors taking an epic road trip. Before I got into this business, I always loved reading about trips like this in the buff books, and I'd love to do something like what Andy and Mercedes did someday.But I don't know what car I'd pick.What about you? If you had a big road trip planned, what vehicle would you pick?You'll note that an EV was the ride of choice in the earlier story, and I initially thought about setting up this QOTD as which EV would you
