CP.

Is it really that hard to see why Jalops love wagons?

Oh, I didn't realize price wasn't relevant when comparing vehicles. :)

You said Ram was not participating in the powerful engine single cab market. I was just pointing out they were and at a cheaper price than Ford.

I disagree with the Ram. They offer a regular cab 4x2 with the Hemi in the express model at around $26k, which is a few grand cheaper than a similar F-150. I also couldn't find a V8 2wd short-bed Tundra on Toyota's website. All that I could see offered was a V6 and long bed with the regular cab Tundra.

I feel like I've seen that wheel design somewhere else but where?

Very cool story. Can't say I know about Alfred Morris, but I can tell I like him already.

I remember seeing that it was expensive...I didn't realize it was more than the price of the car!

NP.

Why does she need to hold the baby and close the door?

A minivan is less than 6ft tall. It should be pretty easy for short people to reach the hatch. My mother is barely 5' 3", and she drove 2 minivans for over 15 years. I never heard her complain about reaching the hatch once.

No, I'm saying maybe you shouldn't buy a car that is too big for you to be able to use properly without having to rely on the car itself for simple tasks...like opening doors.

I haven't had to yet, but I bought the car used. So, I'm guessing they were changed by the PO.

Well, by that definition looks like we'll never be discussing your SUVs :) Least my old brick is brought up occasionally like here, here, or here.

Yes, we have kids too. We have dogs. I haul more stuff than most people. Ever put a 5.0l short block and AOD trans from a Mustang in your car? I have.

You're right. I'm lying about rental cars I've driven on the internet. Also, the American laziness comment was completely serious because no one ever makes jokes on the internet. :)

Well, lower weight, less complexity, less cost, less to go wrong, less to repair, etc...

I've never owned one, but I have had them on rental cars. I found it to be more an annoyance than a convenience.

Nope. Never. :)

That's just added worthlessness only the Germans could think of.
