Seems like the new MO at Jalop is to show everyone how cool y’all are by tearing everything to shreds. That’s pretty sad. We get it, it’s not a car, and you like cars, and think everyone who doesn’t like cars is stupid. This should have been reviewed by a truck guy. Oh well.

The idea that anyone off-roads these things in any meaningful way or in any meaningful numbers is a joke. If someone wants to prove me wrong, I’d be delighted to see it.
