He’s not wrong, though.

For the power of modern cars, and the number of forward gears they are expected to cycle through to meet mileage targets, they should all be automatic CVTs or else sequential manual gearboxes, preferably auto-clutching. In either of those cases, R would be N-separated from the forward gears.

That…

Dude is fucking with us, right? I mean, that thing looks like shit, whereas the La Ferrari looks like a racing Ferrari for the road.

OMFG.

And yet, if it had a “Jeep” badge, and was cheap enough, I bet we could talk David into buying it.

You know, based on the Jeep graveyard that he has been accumulating, it is entirely possible that he actually does want to wait a few years. Which is kinda sad, because if he keeps this up, he will be the male analogue of the crazy cat lady - the crazy Jeep guy.

I mean, if he were truly rational about these things,…

Sure, I get that. And I completely understand going used for non-critical parts that won’t leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere. Good luck!

It justifies quite a bit of it, given that she should be out in 5-ish years, versus life imprisonment.

This is awful. Yet somewhat inspiring compared with the sexual abuse girl who committed suicide. At least Gypsy never ever has to worry about what her mother will do to her. Ever.

Agreed, that it would be a travesty to Honda the Jeep.

A much better idea would be to put a Mitsubishi engine in it. Willy’s Jeep powered by an engine from the same company that made the Zero.

How many used transmissions are you going to buy and tear apart to try and find 1 non-fucked set of gears?

I get that your time is largely worthless from a dollars and cents standpoint, but we all know that it is still limited to the 24 hours in a day. You don’t have infinite time to be mucking about with the…

I suspect that he really overpaid for a Willy’s Jeep VIN plate - I doubt much of any of it to be salvagable.

Typically, I put the repair threshold around half the value of the car. So, I wouldn’t want to put more than $2.5k into a $5k car.

That’s a pretty stupid answer if you’re planning to actually drive the car. You got the car cheap, so you knew you’d have to throw parts at it.

Hey, it works for Audi... Not only do all of their cars look alike from generation to generation, they look the same within generation...

Oh, I’ve seen a fair few here in SoCal. But the difference is very subtle.

A semi-functional rear window, vs the previous-gen porthole is the big tell.

Maybe the MCR can be accelerated and given a Gen 3-ish front end? That would be obviously different.

Sharp bemoans that hyperandrogenic athletes like Semenya skew the competition.

Pretty much. Not a fucking penny to Niantic.

OMG, wow. Fuck Niantic.

More importantly, it’s a Euro-spec E36 that wasn’t running a cut-price, detuned US-spec motor.

Nope, look at the C-pillar to see how wrong you are.
