EcoBoost brings 2 separate but equally awesome thoughts to mind:

I wonder how many model years back the slump will go.. most people buying the older ones know exactly what they are doing, I suspect. So probably just newer ones.

I said there’s no obvious good fix. There is a bad one. It’s clear that, since they cheated, Volkswagen has a mode within the electronics of the vehicle that’ll make the engines in roughly 500,000 cars they sold run cleaner. It seems likely this fix will make the cars slower and less efficient.

Jeep is going to great lengths to decrease the straight corners and flat front and windshield of the wrangler going forward to improve efficiency and, I assume, pedestrian safety. So, no, I don’t think this awesome look will ever see the light of a showroom floor.

JK frame is way better than previous jeeps. Axles are better. JK is wider, and the body lines allow for bigger tires right out the door. Lots of things about the JK are much better than what came before. But, TJ’s are pretty awesome toys, they are cheaper, and there’s a great aftermarket for them and will be for a…

I got tired of waiting years ago. Unrefined, needs work all the time, but I still love it.

I haven’t even _read_ this yet, but I wanted to come down here and say:

I had a good recruiter when I joined the Navy. His highest priority advice was:

4th gear: interesting. My 2010 Flex has that same motor, and I’ve got an issue that, when running, I can push the brake pedal all the way to the floor. Only creates an issue in stop-and-go traffic, but still. Worrisome. Doesn’t happen when the car is off.

Well, if it’s somewhat magical, I’d like it to show me the cause of whatever symptoms I’m experiencing in the car.

Put full TJ doors for the first 4, then a cab closeout a couple feet behind the second row. Put a 6 (maybe 8?) foot truck bed for the rest of it.

Midrats and the smoking lamp are common to small boys (Cruisers, Frigates, Destroyers), too.

CP. I’ve had 3 VW TDI Wagons, now. The MK4 Jetta Wagon w/ the ALH 1.9 TDI is where it is at.

I’m in MD. Maybe they can swap out the parallel parking portion for some GTFO The Passing Lane testing.

Does he have a dead car in the garage he might’ve swapped it off of?

Any suggestions for a beginner that’s 6’4” and 250lbs? I don’t want to be uncomfortably bent over the whole time or bottoming out the suspension. And I don’t want “crotch rocket” style. Sport bikes seem to appeal to me. I know nothing of bikes (clearly). Thanks!

Yep, for anotehr $1400. A lot, but it is a defining piece of the car.

I just used the builder and built a ‘latitude’ with:

Grand Wagoneer Overland Summit

Please get me out of the gray?
