When my brother and I were 5 and 6, I asked him what the spoilers on racecars do. He said “It’s aerodynamics so the heads of the drivers behind them don’t fly off.”

But that is ridiculous. I mean, I get it, but it’s childish. If they used the supercharger network, they wouldn’t have to install the chargers that are already up. Saves them money, and I think consumers would like to be able to use that growing network.

If I were at the big 3, I’d have electrical engineers look at the supercharging stations, see if there are any issues, and if not, I’d go to a Tesla charging system. If one type of car charging becomes the standard, it’d make it that much easier for EVs to become a thing. Wireless charging would be ideal, when time…

Nope. Gasoline! Made in 2004!

Sometimes I use it to determine if I’m on the correct road. Like route 178 East. If I spend more time going west, I’ll be like, that’s not right.

My redline is a full 1k RPMs less than this...

It says NE, NW, SE, and SW too! It’s really handy. That console is one of my favorite things, especially with the maintenance reminder.

Bring back ribbon speedos! But this is a good idea. I think for the speed limit thing, a great idea would be adaptive cruise control that you can put in, what I call, “Virginia Mode.” it won’t allow you to exceed the posted limit. And if it knows the limit changes for literally no reason, it can account for it, and…

I was gonna say, my 2004 Grand Cherokee tells me the codes.

Thank you Mr. Lahey. But in all seriousness, I think you’re right.

If you’re near an offroading club, CBs never left. And that’s the way God intended it.

The new 2.0 and 2.5 do have oil consumption issues in some, which, if you bring it to the dealer for an oil consumption test, they will replace the motor. Brand new tech has teething issues.

No one where I work wants to deal with Tribecas. When they start leaking, you basically have to pull the motor. They avoid them like the plague. They also seem to be the worst taken care of Subies. They’ll be in worse shape, with fewer miles. In terms of being beat up by the owner.

Came here to say the same thing about working on them. Easiest cars I’ve ever worked on. My uncle is a Ford Master Tech, but his daughter bought a Crosstrek, and he gave it a good look over, and he conceded that they think of the mechanic when they design them.

I once saw a beat up 1962 Caddy with a 12V Cummins. I talked to the owner’s father, and he said his son did the whole swap, including frame mods, in 3 weeks. I got a short video of it too.

I used to work at a Toyota dealership. One thing to be aware of is to see if it got a new frame, or undercoat. The undercoat is crap, and stays wet for some reason.

Thank you so much!

Do you know exactly what you bought? I’m looking for exactly that finish. Anything I find seems to not be right.

All car doors and tops are removable. You just have to put a little effort in sometimes.

I’d say the early-mid 1990s. Luxury SUVs existed before then, but they started becoming a status symbol, and started fighting each other in the 90s. Jeep came out with the Grand Cherokee 5.9 limited, which had a 5.9L V8 and 4 wheel drive. Ford then decided that they needed to build something letter, and threw the 5.0…
