Because the old vehicles are from the 90s and are massive pieces of shit?

According to Wikipedia, the Grumman LLV was in production from 1986—1994... Which seems kinda wild to me in 2025.

Also according to Wikipedia, when used for mail delivery, its average fuel economy is 8.2—10 mpg 😬

It's a government grade Aluminum box with the powertrain of a Chevy S10.

S10s were a goddam marvel. I loved mine. RIP.

My S10 is going to function as my hearse. I'm not letting them rent a Cadillac when I've got a perfectly good Chevrolet.

Mine was a 94. An F250 pulled out in front of me. I braked, tried to swerve into the side street. He reversed. Wet road, I kept sliding. He had a dented door. I had a broken radiator, crushed hood, and bent front axle. Totalled. To the guy's credit, he admitted he never saw me coming in my wittle red twuck and that I fought like hell to avoid a collision, and probably would have if he hadn't reversed. Blue Book was 5k. I got 3k. No one was selling them at the time for less than 5k and I had a minimum wage job and needed a car asap. Got a neon and a bonus: no more moving requests.

I've got an '03, one of the last S10s made. She's got 213,000 miles on her and she ain't tired yet.
