Pretty much everything my current company makes is made out of giant fucking blocks of steel purchased from Europe. Everyone here is quietly crapping themselves.

I mean... isn’t the choice obvious?

Assembly is never the reverse of disassembly.

I own a D2, so I think I am contractually obligated to dislike the new Discovery.

I remember reading that it was an option on the new ones, but I can’t find any indication of that on the LR website so... yes you are correct. They dropped the tailgate mounted spare for the 2005 LR3.

Took me reading about half the article before I realized you were calling that a “hatchback”. I think I would have gone with “liftback” but maybe (almost certainly) I am being pedantic.

New favorite term. Also...

Yes! I keep seeing it and raging at the TV. I guess she would have take the path of most drives and just slammed on the brakes and swerved erratically? Thank god for this mildly useless novelty!

Sounds like whatever gizmo makes you high idle at start isn’t functioning properly, but it sounds like that isn’t your priority right now!

Oh I like this game...

The Renegade is a good little offroader too.

“Fun” story: I have to complete a captcha in order to... (wait for it) ... pay my water bill.

I’ve heard tales of office dwellers quitting coffee and switching to tea or even hot water to complete the morning ritual. I’ve tried tea as a way to lessen my caffeine intake and it does seem to scratch the “sipping something hot from a mug” itch.

Ok it looks better from that angle (despite the fuzzy steering wheel). Why do you have to ruin my armchair quarterbacking of a car I will likely never see in person, much less own!? haha

Anyone else kinda bummed at how dumpy that interior looks? I’m sure this has been reported on before, but compared to how special the outside of the car is the inside looks like a mid-2000s Civic. (At least in the photo in the article.)

The rabbit hole is deep and things can get really confusing near the bottom. You start with “I’ll just change the plugs and wires” and next thing you know you’re sending the heads to get machined “while you’re in there.”

Anyone else suddenly excited to score a cheap, low-mileage VW TDI here pretty soon?

Huh, I was thinking “restraint” and “tact” but alright.

The real story here is bar only charging $4.75 for Bulleit...

I recently had essentially the exact same thing happen with my Saab. I opted for the AAA tow back to my place, rather than the gas option. I figured the likelihood of running out of gas causing collateral problems was high and I’d rather not have to call two tow trucks.
