Looks like it was a Land Cruiser Prado, which makes it more closely related ot the GX and 4Runner than the Land Cruiser we get in the US.

Wipers- yes. These are so easy to install yourself (like 30 seconds), and you hsould be able to buy them for a few bucks.

This would be equivalent to replacing HP with fuel tank size.

Sure.

Checks door jam on 2016 Avalon... Kentucky.

You can have a firearm in your checked bag on a lot of airlines, as long as it’s in a locked case and unloaded. If it’s loaded, you have a legal issue on your hands.

Sometimes I forget that I left it in the glovebox of the race car I’m checking, though.

Let’s throw out decades and billions of dollars of crash testing research because some guy on the internet braced themself in a crash!

I didn’t see any mention of that the dummy crushed the front seat passenger, too...

Probably not tall enough. The closer the seat height is to your butt height, the easier ingress/egress should be.

Money and backing, probably. That, and it’s just hard to start a car company.

I guess in my opinion the brand integrity would be hurt more by an affordable car, especially one that shares a platform, like if they did a Miata or Alfa 4C badge engineering project.

What’s the problem with someone wanting a fun to drive, fast, and elegantly designed vehicle from their favorite brand that also has a higher ride/seating position, easier ingress/egress, and more cargo space for family trips, etc?

I guess no one at Jalop understands that platform doesn’t always refer to the floor of the vehicle.

Yes, an extra 45k miles will drop the resale value.

It looks like it’s out of a mid 2000's Ford compact car.

I know you’ve already had this discussion, but Jones has said before that he usually fights at 220-225 rehydrated. I also saw somewhere that he walks around in the 240's, which is where a lot of heavyweights fight anyways. Basically, not cutting would put him right in the thick of things in that weight class.

I don’t blame the dealer for being stand offish, until the end where the guy allegedly asked if his parents had given him his money. That’s was out of line. It is odd that they wouldn’t even give him information about the vehicle, though. That being said he could have found better info online.

The point is that if you actually wanted that Jetta, you could have ordered it immediately. It is an option that exists for those who actually want it. The #35K Model 3 is not. It’s a promise for sometime in the future.
