The Luxury people will not go for a mitsu. They should make a smaller off roader plug in hybrid to compete in jeep wrangler/bronco/4runner off-roading overlander market that is printing money for manufactures. Those people remember the dakar heritage and would shop for a off road friendly modern montero. 

Very good points! Low power and low top speed and able to physical survive hitting stuff with a new driver is why I suggested a jeep wrangler.

I think the peace of mind of reliable transportation is often undervalued. I will never stop being thankful for reliable cars. 

I thought it stopped when we were told that mediocre white men were not to be rewarded for being mediocre. There was so much blowback for average men getting the hot girl that it was stopped. So now only lab created super hot guys get to be in rom coms. (This is mostly snark as I completely believe and support the…

Yep that is one of the reasons I am NOT sentimental about old cars.

In the books Bond is late thirties so he is only a bit too old. One or two movies would be fine. 

In her early country days she was looked at by white nationalists as a aryan heroine. 

This will make for dramatic TV on Drive to Survive, as he struggles with his new team.

Every time I see that 40 year old three pound sledge hammer in my tool box I remember smashing solenoids with it. 

Thanks for the belly laugh and the traumatic memories all at the same time. 

Remember them, Hell yes, I remember setting the points gap after changing points and condenser. 

Fair. As an old I remember the first few Bond actors being too old for the role. 

What color will they make milk?

I still have my old Ford starter/solenoid 3 pound sledge hammer.  

I am an old, I remember when starters were a once a year to once every two year repairs on 60s-70s American cars.
