But people who buy 2WD Wranglers aren’t REAL Jeep owners. (I’m mocking stereotypes)

They care because Wranglers are supposed to have folding windshields, dammit, whether you ever use it or not—just like they need to have 4WD, whether you ever use it or not.

Of course they’re doing a“’family’ of rugged off-road vehicles.” Because it’s not like they’re going to be doing a family of sedans.

Last week Holly Andres of the New York Times wrote of her NYC to LA train trip.

My 1st-generation New Beetle had the window and lock wiring swapped on the passenger door because both switches used identical connectors.

I was this close to getting an SRT/4. I even had the dealer talked into swapping trunks with a lesser model so I wouldn’t have the ridiculous basket handle spoiler. But then they got nasty about the financing.

Three words: holes in firewall.  ;)

And you didn’t just borrow a head (or entire engine) from one of your other crap box Jeeps?

Anything that lets us know what other drivers are about to do makes driving safer.

What I’d also like to see is some sort of front-mounted brake light on vehicles so we can tell whether oncoming cars are at least thinking about slowing down as they approach from the side or rear.

It was the Dodge version of the Valiant. Different grill and taillights, no fake spare tire hump on the trunk. Ours had the 225 cubic inch Slant Six.

I learned to drive in a 1961 Dodge Lancer with the pushbutton automatic.

I put Moons on my Scion xB. While everyone else was contemplating and debating spoke patterns of new wheels, I said to hell with spokes.

The bigger question: What would it take to get even a fraction of those whining for the return of the Supra to actually buy one?

It’s the ghost of Henry Ford, angry they’ve stopped making sedans.

“...use the buzzword ‘mobility’ to sell to younger two-wheel buyers.” Um, “mobility” is the term used for the scooters used by people who have trouble walking.

It’s what we used to generically call an “enduro” because of the very similar Yamaha Enduros.

Since Chevy struggles with high end interiors, and since the ZR1 is a track toy, maybe they should just give it a stripper interior.

It looked better in camouflage.

Does buying myself some power steering fluid on the 26th count?
