*Part-time four wheel drive.

Visible license plates are a long established non issue.

He’s infamous for his love of humor and mischief. Some people enjoy life.

Faye Hadley is great. I used some of her videos to step me through random suspension and engine part replacement and maintenance on my 4Runner.

Jump scares are a cheap crutch. The game doesn’t need them.

Coil swap, easy fix.

Do I still have to pay for fuel? I could happily daily drive a nice squarebody Chevy/GMC pickup, but 8MPG gets old pretty quick.

That’s absolutely lovely.

We never got the exact twin to the Liana in NA, but did get the Aerio, which shared most of the important platform bits. Strange little cars, but they were available with a pretty sweet AWD system (also available on the subsequent SX4).

Fair, but they’re purpose built, small volume commercial vehicles, though, so it’s a bit like remembering that there are quad cab Mitsubishi Fuso box trucks.

You’ve got a kindred spirit over at Rock, Paper, Shotgun!

Ooh, that’s a good one.

It always brings a smile to my face when I get to the end of a gnarly road and see a bone stock Nissan Sentra sitting at the trailhead. Clever driving will get you far.

You already know all of this, but for any random small fries who may come across the post...

The official announcement was back in September, but having a specific release date is a great reassurance that the finalization process seems to have gone smoothly.

Utter abominations, all of them. The Fiesta ST died for their sin and I am still angry.

They’re light and have delightfully direct steering. Less about speed and more about ziggy zaggy zwoop zwoop.
