I bought a bugout truck.

I’m not an airplane guy so whatever those little 2-a-side seating jets are is what I’m thinking

I would think chartering doesn’t meet the definition of “commercial” which I see as more buy-a-ticket-and-fly, but I could be wrong.

Agreed.  Every car I’ve chosen to drive for myself has been a manual.  My new Jeep has the second lightest clutch I’ve ever used, the first belonging to a VW T-Cross we rented in Switzerland, and the the guy at the counter was a little ambivalent about giving an American reign over a car with a clutch.  But I’ve been…

So have I, and it really isn’t

Wrangler and Gladiator. Which...LOL

Also those numbers are supposed to be for a 1966 Bronco not a 1999 (which was an expedition I guess), fat fingered that one.

The one where a manual transmission had far too few sensors to go wrong

My paternal grandmother was one of a paltry 13 (catholic famers), I think the second or third oldest. My dad is older than his 2 youngest uncles and has a number of cousins (from both his parents’ sides, his dad is the oldest of 7 [all still living]) my age or younger.  Between my parents they have over 20 biological…

Looks like a 2022 electric Murano.

It’s possible to do a good job but I wouldn’t put my faith in it.  Even if they say they did that it’s near impossible to verity the effectiveness - so much of the strength comes from how unibody panels are formed, welded, and interact with each other so just throwing some sheet metal or tubes in doesn’t mean much.

I went in knowing it’s a long term project, and it’s a great feeling knowing you can leave it alone for a day or a week or 4 months if you don’t have the time or money or patience to work on part of it.

It fell into my lap via a builder who was shit at mechanical work and a grandfather who didn’t know any better. I got this truck “free” at the expense of replacing half of it to get it running properly, and the other half to make it safe to drive. I’m currently in the first half - running properly - which I expect to…

No thanks.

It costs a lot of money to develop and test a new chassis, something Chrysler doesn’t seem to have for these cars.  Convertibles require additional structure and they have to go through the same testing so most likely they just didn’t want to pay for it seeing it as a low volume option

My third is in pieces in the garage (this pic was taken early, it’s had a lot done since then)

Cool pic, but I think perspective is the key there. The tires on the new one are what, 8" taller than the old one? Because I like numbers, here’s the comparisons:

I’m not saying it’s not better to drive but it looks ridiculous and costs a fortune for a fwd tuner car that doesn’t even have a proper hatch 

You misunderstand: I would rather have less shit than outdated shit. Give me an E34 with a stick over this.
