I rented some crazy stupid bullshit like this in Aruba or Costa Rica or some place like that. I was embarrassed but I can't lie it was fun. 

What demo is that? Logical grown ups?

As long as someone isn’t trying to pull into the spot on the other side it is totally fine.

So, I’m like totally on waiting lists for the latest new SUVs with this rear 3/4. I’m thinking I should cancel those and get on the list for this one instead. Ya know, ‘cause it’s like the latest copy of a shitty idea. Gotta be the latest right?

Nice catch. Sorry I’ve disappointed you.

Thanks for sharing... and WOW. I’m sorry for those experiences and the associated costs. I had a few of those issues, but my not nearly as extensive as you.

Manual wagon with sexy VR noises........MMmmm.  This is an easy NP for me.  But I have plenty of VW maintenance experience so I know what I’d be getting into.  

That’s the Starcraft ground effects treatment. It’s mostly seen on conversion vans. Looks doofy on that truck.

Time to cleanse the ol palate
