Fix the cigarette lighter.

I seriously considered a Grand Cherokee (I think they’re the best bang for the buck when it comes to SUVs), but we had a 2008 when our kid was born and the stroller ate up probably 80% of the cargo area. That probably speaks more to the ridiculous size of strollers than the amount of cargo area, but it always sticks…

I’m not trying to solve anything. There aren’t many vehicles that fit my needs, so I’m just stating why a truck works for me an probably for others, too.

Yeah, I’m all about “pride in my work” but when you try to tie EVERYTHING into nationalism/USA/”the flag” I tend to raise an eyebrow. Plus I’ve seen green described as “border patrol”, so they can’t even agree on who gets what color.

I looked at Pacificas last time I was shopping and the payments on Rams were actually cheaper. I’ll shop all the options when my lease is up, but as long as the big truck with the fancy options has the lowest payment I’ll probably keep going in that direction. 

I get what you’re saying, but I’m not loading and unloading a rooftop cargobox for every baseball and softball practice I’m helping with. Much easier to just throw everything in the back.

THIN BLUE LINE!!!*

Yeah, I just like them better. I’d rather a Caprice wagon than a Suburban.

I want a full size vehicle with cargo room. My choices seem to be:

X Æ A-12ti

At this price: the guy obviously doesn’t want to sell his Caprice and only listed it to placate his wife. “I’m TRYING to sell it. It’s just a tough market for used cars right now.”

I think my ‘93 S-10 had a 4L60E, the “mandatory option” when getting the 4.3L V6.

Look, if you’re not against me buying this van, don’t cross this line. If yes, do. I love you all.

Buy the new motor and slowly rebuild the original (as a side-side project?) “Numbers matching” is cool and all, but so is driving your vehicles. 

This is why early and abundant testing would have been so important. People claim the numbers look too low and everything was obviously overblown by “teh media”, but cardiac arrest deaths have spiked at the same time as the COVID outbreak and it can’t be a coincidence.

This is ridiculous. Unbelievable. Some would say “malarkey”. There’s no way this is going to happen.

Ford themselves starting making the Probe in 1988. I’m sure even they knew that the LTD was just an exercise in riding out those sunk R&D costs as long as possible.

My last few leases have all been through email/text with the dealership and it’s been great. We always work with the same salesman, so I email him in the morning and everything is ready by closing time. It does help that we know the vehicle we want and aren’t concerned with more than a quick test drive when we go to…
