My brother’s second car (and first brand new one) was a pea soup green Dauphine. His first car was a 1938 Imperial coupe. The Dauphine was followed by a couple of Corvairs. My brother was never one to follow the herd.

The police in my former hometown started charging homeowners and businesses for responding to security system false alarms. This would be the same thing.

And then they ruined it all with a way-too-large logo that doesn’t follow the contour of the deck lid edge.

We Americans understand more power. We understand bigger. We understand excess. We understand bragging. We don’t understand more fun with less power. That’s an un-American concept, like being happier with less stuff.

Sort of, shall we say, an “homage” to the Cars’ “Just What I Needed.”

Ugliest? You must have forgotten the butt-ugly butt on the ‘02-’05 7 Series.

When H-D dies then maybe I can travel the scenic parts of the country in summer without packs of suburban “rebels” clogging the roads, rest stops and gas stations.

^^^ Winner winner, chicken dinner.

“...its bolded-on broadness...” Yeah, I always bold my things together, but they keep falling apart for some reason. I guess I need to get some stronger bolds.

However, I’m all in favor of wearing stuff like this (as the hipsters say) ironically. Like a Ford tee while driving a Chevy. Or some obscure, never imported, crap box from decades ago while driving something really nice.

I figure apparel like this (and Harley owners are the worst offenders) are for people who can’t remember the brand of their vehicle.

“They are happiest getting run down low a lot.”
Actually, deep cycle batteries are happiest using no more than 50% of their charge between recharges, which is still quite a bit compared to starter batteries. A full charge for a 12V battery, with nothing connected, is actually 12.9V. Fifty percent is 12.0V. Charging…

Why the mud flaps?

Totally with you on this, Kristen.

An update? A followup? Did you make it to Indy?

But did you get one of your Jeeps running in time for Indy?

I “line my frunk” a euphemism for something?

If they want to further help save the minivan and FCA, they could take a hint from the Sienna UUV promo vehicle. Offer a version of the Pacifica that’s lifted a bit, with all-terrain tires and maybe a couple of overlanding baubles like a meaty roof rack and a push bar.

Then you don’t like the 935?

And “Ram Longhorn” is a stupid interspecies name.
