What? No Jeep? The lada don’t cut it. Need a something you can take the top off.

No, it’s really not. Not everything with a manual is “cool” and should be lauded over and revered like it is some sort of rare barn find. Enough of the good old days about manuals. You’re starting to act like the old man down the street that begs me to disable his DRL on his truck because, and I quote, “It’ll burn…

But now you have to buy another item, another registration, another place to park it. Why, when you can do it all with one vehicle? And believe me, taking the seats out of a Chevy Astro to load wood was a nightmare I never want to do again. No way a Dodge Caravan had that much payload. The suspension wasn’t built for…

But an Avalanche was a true true crew-cab. The 1500 pickup was just an extended cab with 4 doors. Or were you talking the 1500 HD with the bigger motor and bigger cost?

Simple....cost. A friggin Burb is outrageously expensive now a days and always has been pricier than a like equipped truck.

Yeah sure but can a van haul a refrigerator upright and carry 4 very comfortably at the same time?

Bravo, you learned how to search on the internet. So what’s your point? 

lol...I know I heard it as a kid in the 70s. Back before internet it was just a story swapped by gearheads. Then Snopes had to come and ruin our dreams.....

and it is always a right signal when exiting.

And if you buy a higher end rental, a full-size or up, odds are better that it was not rented with “cash” and hooned for a weekend in Vegas.

Don’t believe any of them Jason. Emissions my ass. Remember the old story of the guy who took delivery of a Chevy Citation that got 100mpg? And then some guys in black suits showed up and paid him a gazillion dollars for it? Everyone always said they can make an engine that got 100mpg if they wanted to. As Mulder…

Duh!! You are correct sir! I did forget about that. The hurricane actual has four driveshafts. One for each hub. 

Ugly, but that monster had 2 Hemi motors in it. One at each end.

Not quite the same thing. The Rivian is doing something that Jeep could never do, each wheel on each axle is turning in the opposite direction. The jeep wheels are all rotating in the same direction, it’s just doing it with steering. Personally, I’d take the steering method. It has the added benefit of turning all the…

Catching a lot of crabs at the mall are you? 

I for one agree with you. I just can’t get past the ovals. ....and i am not a boomer.

Oooooh, like the Red October?

I disagree. Anyway you look at it, you will pay more for the diesel and not make up the difference in fuel savings.

Never good for the quality department.....

Nothing new. Engineers have been saying that all over the news since the second crash. Then again, they really didn’t have an option. Their go to, most common airframe needed to be modernized with new engines. The new engines required more ground clearance. The extra time and testing of creating a whole new design…
