ROTF!

Depends on your use case. We leased for many years because I wanted our family truckster to be reliable and always be under warranty. I budgeted a “rental” for our car and never worried about unexpected expenses. Also, you get out of the car before the first major service in most cases. Also, you can drive way more…

I live on Long Island, and Wranglers are *everywhere*. I just assumed not many are buying. They’re leasing. 

Along those lines, we had a hard decision to make when replacing our Grand Cherokee (lease was up). We got a decent rebate on the last one that helped seal the deal. This time I didn’t even look. They pretty much priced us out of the market. Plus, all the related fees have gone up, and it all adds up. Went with a 2019…

Responding way late to this one. This band was a breath of fresh air at that time. I worked at a music magazine when their albums came out and tried to push them whenever I could. Great write-up.

LOL. True story. I have thought that on occasion!

It’s pretty much universally hated, and it adds MAYBE one mpg? With gas at $2.50, we should have the option to turn it off permanently. But: MPG requirements I guess.

I’ve had a Wrangler as a commuter for almost ten years now. It has its obvious drawbacks (mileage, ride), but man, every time I rent another car or ride in someone else’s I’m reminded how great the visibility is and how much I love being up high on the road and seeing so well forward and to the sides. Rearward…

We are in this market, going downscale just a bit as we’re replacing a Grand Cherokee whose lease is up next month. Looked at the CX-5 (not enough cargo space), CR-V (*so* much improved over our 2013), Forester (a little worried about reliability but safety features and functionality are second to none), Tiguan (loved…

I seem to recall at some point you could lease one for a ridiculously low monthly price.

Why is this better than an eGolf?

I love the TourX, but any car that doesn’t let me turn off the auto stop/start gets crossed off the list first, unfortunately. Would have been a great replacement for my 9-5 wagon. :(

I have read they are less of an issue as high elevations. So depending on where you live you might have less exposure, but they really are found everywhere these days. Thank you, climate change.

Powassan can be transmitted in as little as 15 minutes of feeding.

This is not true and dangerously misleading

A much more effective method that has been shown to reduce ticks by 95% or something on that level is to use “tick tubes.” They’re wax-coated toilet paper roll type things stuffed with cotton balls soaked in permetherin. Mice use the cotton to make their nests and when the mice pick up ticks and then settle in their…

You can also get a giant plastic bag and put the clothing in it with the liquid, then squeeze the liquid out and let the outfits dry out. You can treat multiple outfits that way. There are videos online. More messy, but gets deep in the fibers.

And he pretends to be an advocate for women, which is even worse. He knows it’s wrong. He can’t use his mental illness as an excuse. When he was raping that woman and her roommate pushed him out the door and followed him, screaming, he was crying how he knew it was wrong. He’s just a fucking dirtbag.

Yeah, they’re more sporty luxury barges. I had totally forgotten about the sludging issue. Fortunately, neither of my had the issue. As for the 5-speed, for me that was an upgrade from my 900 GLi 4-speed. :)
