That’s the China-only, Cherokee based, Commander. That’s not the Wagoneer.

It’s because most people are completely inept at working on mechanical things. It has gotten much worse in the last 30 years.  

Reminds me at work back when we had walk up computers without passwords. An employee made the mistake of writing a cover letter to a resume on a walk up computer and leaving the file open. Next guy up did a search and replace on the word “Instrumentation Technician” with “Chicken Violator” and hit save.

You can swim across the Detroit River...

The bit about every passenger boat needing an AIS transponder is wrong.  Certain commercial vessels do.  The majority of private boats do not.  However, as costs have fallen precipitously in recent years, it is becoming more common for private operators of small boats (aka your “yachts”) to have them.  Useful for…

Wow. Great find. Of course it’s a base model; not even a rear wiper. Sigh. I’d probably fly out there for an AWD... but only 88K miles is tempting.

Why does Kia put the turn signal indicators so low? They’re typically so low they’re not in most people’s line of sight.

The closest I can find is the short-wheelbase Ford Transit Connect, a car that barely exists in the US marketplace.
I want it, but it’s as easy to find as a surviving Summit/Colt Vista.

Dealers hate cash sales. No finance charges or selling your loan.

I think actually they prefer if you finance.  Interest makes it cost more.

Its the same for early Ford Cruise-O-Matic or Merc-O-Matic three speed autos. They have a rear pump that allows for push starts. You can also safely tow them with the rear wheels down, with the transmission in neutral, unlike most RWD automatic vehicles. I wouldn’t recommend going cross-country, but across town is…

Counterpoint: I will never buy a vehicle I have neither sat in nor driven. And, to do those things, you have to go to a dealership.

Where are you at? If you’re close to me, you can drive mine. ‘18 Preferred, S&S, DC1

Same exact boat. Im been trying to get a 2 to 3 year old XC 90. The dealer response rate is ridiculous. Ive never seen anything like it.

We get it. You don’t like trucks. In a little over a month, you have posted three articles implying trucks are terrible. Don’t buy one.

Easier said than done in Florida. Almost everything is HOA controlled there, according to my friend in Tampa. It’s nearly impossible to find a house that isn’t part of a HOA unless you live out in the boonies, and they all have essentially the same set of basic rules.

Styling is very much a matter of personal taste and that’s not to my taste. The back end doesn’t look like it belongs to the front.

“but it’s not up to some random chump to shit on people’s efforts before the market has had its say”

Please have that faux spare tire thing on the back.
