On my van?

Dude, the PT Cruiser is coming around. You just wait. It’ll be all the rage at Litwood 2030.

At what point will it be hard to drive ICE cars? That’s a major factor.

Mostly the second part.

Eh. Rough call.

On one hand, you have intrinsic knowledge of the vehicle, and certain systems that you helped design. This is the neat part, and not something a lot of people can say.

On the other hand, there’s the money factor. New cars suck to buy right now, and even though the Jeeps traditionally do well on value…

Which part?

Oh boy. 

For anyone else, I’d suggest the new car as the sensible decision. But you get paid so we can live vicariously through your fleet of hoopties. Think of what $35k worth of hoopty gets you!

You’re not getting any younger. Just buy the Jeep.

I would argue that any laxative is an assload of laxatives.

I got to work around one of these years ago as I was once pretty big into Fieros and have owned four of them myself. Has to have been going on near 15 years now since I last saw that car.

Whenever these cars come up I feel compelled to remind everyone that if you come from the UK, this is a Zimmer.

The neighbors think it’s an Aston Martin.

I’m skimping and saving so I can put my kids through a private school that, even with financial aid, is costing me as much as a nice new sedan every year. And you know what? They're totally worth it.

The space race funding also served a geopolitical role; by developing military-useful hardware and spurring deficit spending in the Soviet Union.

Not trying to make them disappear. Note the two extra seats he added. He’s going back in time so that they can babysit their younger selves. so that his younger self and younger wife can have some quality time; and so that his older self and older wife can, too. EVERYBODY WINS

I think you can tell your kids that you love them, but that being a parent is the hardest thing you’ll ever do. It’s probably the truth for most parents in any case. Having kids is not for everyone.

You told your kids they weren’t worth it?

“It’s your kids, John. Something’s gotta be built to seat your kids.”

This is the most awesome build ever. He could have gone the easier (and probably cheaper) route and bought a 911, or just told the kids that they get to ride with dad one at a time. Instead, he went full Jalop.  On two continents.
