Still confused as to why government workers on government issued devices have open AppStore access, while my work issued phone has a restricted custom app store. Just manage your devices, government! 

I understand that China has the ability to exert some measure of influence through TikTok.

It’s not about China’s influence, it’s about privacy concerns, and for once I actually agree. Tiktok is essentially malware. There are plenty of other places for influences to influence. Most of them are on numerous platforms as it is. 

Counterpoint: any app that has the algorithm and data collection that TikTok has probably should be considered a national security threat when it’s owned and run by a government, no matter who the government is.

It should be a bipartisan decision, as it is a danger to the US. 

Volvo C30. Didn’t sell well new and no one looks to Volvo when they think of 2-door hatchback. These are fantastic, underappreciated gems.

This Sable. I don’t know about the overall market for Sables, but I opened up Craigslist, sorted by price, and scrolled down to the first car that I would consider if I were in dire need of basic transportation right now.

As a former fleet guy who had Journeys, any price over free is asking to much.

Jags from the 2000's seem entirely unaffected by the current inflated used car market.

This truck will probably be bought by some asshole who gets a little thrill every time other drivers react like he’s a real cop. That’s a shame, because at $13k I think you have a pretty good base for an overlanding rig or other adventure vehicle. Nice price. 

No no no - do NOT take off ALL the “police shit” (BrianG) - you simply MUST leave the PA! Imagine,

Take off the stupid police sh!t and it’s a well-priced Expy. As long as the hour meter doesn’t show 10,000 idle hours, it’s as fair priced as any other Expy out there with those miles.

Ok, non-joking idea....

In my limited experience, there are a lot of people out there who are unfamiliar with this feature. (But I have to wonder if there is much overlap between them and Jalopnik readers.) Last year I went on a 1400-mile road trip with my brother in his 2021 Civic, which he had owned for a few months. When it was my turn to…

The 80s Bronco II was basically the chassis of a regular cab (short wheelbase) compact pickup (in this case a Ranger) with a backpack. Which is basically also what the OG 4Runner was. Oh, and the OG Pathfinder. And so on. And this new Bronco is the same idea.

made worse by the fact that the Bronco name hadn’t been attached to a true billy-goat off-roader since the first generation rode into the sunset in ‘77.

I have seen lots of these out in the wild and I am a bit underwhelmed by how tame and ordinary they look aside from the most expensive trims with the wider tires and fenders.

Excellent pictures and article! I really enjoyed this one.

$50k is for the absolute top model Wildtrak. How are you talking about the look of the base model and then the price of the top tier?

They start at $30k which is the same price as a base Wrangler.

I’m a semi-recent transplant to Appalachia. Now I want to go four wheeling.
