It’s an Italian team. Style and fashion are a huge part of their identity, so it makes sense he dressed up.

Yeah, my big problem was that they styled their top product after their cheapest products (Liberty, Recon, et al) instead of their best (Grand Cherokee).

They’ll trot out some survey that claims that, but the dirty truth is that any survey can be constructed to deliver a set result, if you want. How they phrase questions, who they ask, etc. all can help drive the “correct” result.

I sat in the various Tesla Models, including a former coworker’s Plaid Model S. I was not impressed with the touchpoints, finish, or just the general ambience. Yes, the touchscreen is cool, but the interior feels spartan due to cost-cutting rather than as a minimalist exercise.

If you can’t clean your car off before driving (that means, hood, roof, trunk, all your windows, mirrors, and your lights), then don’t drive. If you leave snow chunks on your car, you should be charged if it flies off and hits another car.

I’ve never had a problem seeing Tesla headlights. They’re always the ones blinding you - I don’t know if they’re all aimed upward or what, but almost every Tesla I encounter with its headlights on is blinding.

More money than taste. Pretty much summarizes a lot of “new money”.

Yeah. Part of the reason why planes are so expensive to maintain is that every part needs to be tracked, logged, and repaired by a certified technician. It’s part of the reason why the lack of documentation for the door plugs on the Boeing 737 is so concerning - everything should be documented, so if any paperwork is…

It allows enthusiasts to build their own planes from kits without facing the onerous certification hurdles that most aircraft face, which makes them expensive to operate and maintain.

Um, good?

Back in the day Ralph Gilles was rumored to have a tuned-up minivan that could hang with sports cars.

You touched on something I’ve heard a lot about: Nissan’s seating. I’ve heard so many good things about their Zero-Gravity (?) seats that I’m surprised they haven’t become more well-known.

Maybe they should give up on the American market and focus on Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. At least those markets have similar sizes and product lineups, unlike the US.

Many Asian cultures want remains of the deceased so their souls can be laid to rest.

Agreed.

Funny thing:

I was going to suggest an Audi A4 Allroad but they’re pricier than the V-Dub.

This is the right answer (any minivan). 

Don’t security clearances have to be renewed annually or periodically? 

Ha! We have the opposite problem in the US. Honda offers a plethora of SUV/CUVs here in various sizes but no wagons. At least the Civic (and the Accord?) are now hatchbacks/liftbacks, but no wagons.
