So I am not sure I am a fan of the exterior styling.

I think they are trying to compete with the Navigator/Escalade, but Jeep is more of a near-luxury brand.

It seems like this is a bit overblown. CA and Federal OBDII regulations dictate the OBDII connector, the protocol, and that information needs to remain available and standard for anything emissions related. So any vehicle with an ICE will remain under this law.

Brownell comes across as a petulant child in the comments most of the time. He tells everyone to basically fuck off if they don’t agree with him.

Shilling, Orlove, and Brownell are all very lazy about getting in their digs in.  It gets very old and tiring after a few.  At least Torch is creative about it. and puts in some effort.

The wealth gap has gotten out of hand.  There needs to be more tax burden on the ultra wealthy and corporations to support the rest of the average people

The issue with this little turdburglar that killed 2 people is that he was not protecting his home, his business, or his family. He grabbed an AR15, went downtown to look for trouble under the guise of protecting local businesses.

My neighbor growing up had a Cosworth Vega he bought new, and at some point parked it in his dad’s barn with like 35k on the odometer. Sometime in the late 90s he brought it home when his father passed, and just left it in his driveway to rot. My dad just told me the other day that he finally decided to rebuild it…

I did a clutch on my Cobalt SS years ago in my garage, and it was not bad.  About 8 hours to do the whole job, not including the time it took to have the flywheel surfaced and the clutch/pressure plate rebuilt.

Did somebody say peaches...

Police don’t get to just decide to kill people because they are resisting arrest. Cops are trained to take down people, are given tazers, and often times there are several officers present.

4th Gear - This is going to just make more work for the rest of us. Ford likes to come up with great plans for “restructuring”, but they fall way short in the implementation phase. The last restructuring was supposed to reduce bureaucracy by limiting the levels of management and reducing the number of people leaders.

I had an old GM with fractured clutch springs so it would rattle when it was not engaged.  Ended up tearing up the pulley surface pretty bad, so I faced it off on a lathe and installed a new clutch to the right gap and BAM! it worked.  Saved a ton of money not buying a new pulley.

I tend to agree with you for several reasons:

John Oliver recently did a show on how the immigration system works, and I was shocked at how complex it is.

You can literally find parallels between thing Republicans say vs. thing Republicans do.

I doubt the validity of that story, since both vehicles came out in 2005, and I was working at Roush and we had fully functional Five Hundred prototypes with the same styling in 2002.

Had to do with the branding over there. They would not understand what a Dodge is.

I used to see these all the time, but I barely see them anymore, especially not new ones. I am sure a lot of it is due to the general demise of sedan sales, but I can’t help but assume that it has to do with being a 15 year old vehicle without any neat tricks to attract buyers (cought...hellcat...cough).

I experienced Scenario #2, except it was with a lease:
