Yes, I’ve driven a 2006 GP (only once), and the supercharger and manual are good. My point is just that the statement, “In 2006, Mini decided to supercharge its reborn hatchback and connect it to a manual transmission” is confusing. Because they did that in 2001 and then in every subsequent year until 2007. The GP…

Edit: I said something here and I was wrong. It really is a slushbox, holy shit.

I swear I’m only being pedantic because it’s the first sentence in the article:

There are a lot of people who are demanding of their cars, even if they aren’t demanding of the drivetrain. This seems perfect for the young person or couple who does weekend trips with a bunch of gear. Most of my friends who are in that category right now drive Cherokees or Crosstreks and I’m glad Ford is playing in…

From the marketing page. Applying the “Breaks”. The Bronco seems so good that this is what I will resort to teasing them for. 

The marketing name for that shade of orange is “OJ”.

“I wanted an affordable alternative to the Wrangler”

Definitely. My hope was that they would offer at least two suspensions (again taking a page from the Grand Cherokee’s book). I wouldn’t be shocked (ha) if that happens eventually, but the current lineup/options make sense. Disappointed that it won’t be my next car...told my wife that I might be a sucker and put a…

Looks like it, thanks! Seems that the best way to get more granular details is to click on a specific trim level, and then use the dropdowns for specs, packages, etc.

Assuming others are looking for the same thing. Here’s the current “spec sheet” that I could find. Frustrating that they don’t seem to have towing information anywhere. https://www.ford.com/cmslibs/content/dam/brand_ford/en_us/brand/suvs-crossovers/bronco/pdf/21_Bronco_lineup_HR.pdf

Harbor Freight is useful for a lot of things, like hand tools and shop towels. Items that you rely on to keep you alive are not included in that list.

I’m not sure how far from Jackson Hole you mean, but it’s expensive as hell out there anywhere near the town. Not quite the middle of nowhere lol.

I’m not one of the Mustang purists who is bothered by Ford bastardizing the name with the Mustang Mach-E. But I am someone who is bothered that they didn’t name it the Galaxie Lightning. It was right there! Would’ve been the coolest name on the market. 

Digital clocks are clearly faster to read. Anecdotally, if I put a digital clock that reads “5:17" in front of you and an analog one, I don’t see how there’s any question which you would read faster. But for the sake of a source, here’s a quick blog that cites research on the subject. The research also indicates,…

A digital clock is faster and easier to read than an analog one, for sure.

Torch, you’ve been on an absolute roll, lately.

That lead photo is just an unreasonably attractive car.

Totally. I just got curious about the actual math based on your comment, and it seemed worth sharing the follow-up.

$2,000 off of the $21,850 average represents a 9.15% discount.

This is the wrong take, but it’s an amusing one.
