i was hoping you’d say you were in a FJ60... sad face.

agreed. though subaru is making some capable machines these days. ;)

If you pull a full one out you become the king of England.

It’s a diesel too... and a manual!

College education? Your kids will have to be sold and parted for their usable organs immediately to afford a down payment on a used water pump that’ll last you all of 200 feet before it explodes in epic fashion. Only for the rich, I say!

We did have a first gen ML320, great SUV and went through pretty much any weather up here in the mountains. I think one of the reasons are the high profile 16 tires instead super low profile tires and the low range button.

I am not defending GM’s faulty engineering at all. That being said if GM was not bailed out, there would have been TONS of lost jobs that would have been catastrophic to our economy.

I think the point is that individuals are getting the subsidies for buying a car. That is not the case for everyone who buys a car. But it’s the same argument in other areas though in a different way. I get a tax deduction because I have a mortgage (and a house). Those who rent do not. People are bit uneducated about…

Many things are subsidized. I have no kids, yet I pay a ton in taxes to educate other peoples kids. Shall I stop paying those taxes? Get a grip. Your life is full of subsided things you are not even aware of.

I know that story. Usually takes about 14 months before play starts up again.

Practicality isn’t sexy until you open your wallet at the end of the week/month. Then you want to bang it like a prom queen.

I’ve always kind of thought of it more along the lines of “most people aren’t car people. They probably drive up to *insert brand* lot and just get whatever tickles their fancy that day.” I wouldn’t literally disassociate from someone that owned any particular car, but I do make judgements based on their choice in…

GM isn’t one of the companies that need to consolidate.

Christo and the gang are fantastic, I hope I can get up to the shop someday when I am stateside again. I know the feeling on budget, spousal-oriented budgeting more or less cost me my sliders!
Let us know how the feel and power of the Tundra brakes work compared to now. Honestly, I’ve been pretty happy with the…

Internet went out yesterday, but I still have nonsense to spill.

Did you wrong a Wagoneer pilot or something in your youth? Trash a dart? Why are the Mopar gods out for you?
I really like the TJM, I too bought it solely off looks after Christo told me somewhat annoyed on the phone that there is no strength difference…

Love yours in black. It’s a wonderful machine and safe enough for my “best friend” to drive.

You just need to get one, man. Find a rust free one that needs new shocks and a timing belt to negotiate a deal and come on.

So, headlight lenses, are they plastic? One of the things I like about my 2003 is the glass lenses and not worrying about UV maintenance, but I swear I nearly had the nose taken off yesterday by a 200 that had cloudy lenses.

The OTA is so amazing, as someone who pilots a big ass 80 through tight trails I can tell you how much I would love that. It only works under very specific circumstances buts is rad. This isn't for you btw, since you know, but For the others to see what its all about.

A 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser... ...is not something I would consider as a proper off-road vehicle.
