Except that the Chevy only made 230 hp and, aside from the engine, not much else was done to the 2wd chassis.

Also compare that the 454 SS came with a 7.0L engine that dwarfs the RAM TRX’s Hellcat 6.2.

I agree the depreciation will likely be slow on these, but that will only be true vis a vis the original MSRP, not $20-$50K over. Those guys are going to lose their shirts.

I just have a hard time with the $143,000 price point. It’s worth every penny of $80,000, and that’s a fair price.

Anyone buying these expecting to make a profit is going to be sorely disappointed when they find out how many of them are going to be made.

Dignity? This is the writer who drove around for months with only high beams, because he couldn’t be fucking bothered to do the right thing.

Someone say clicks?

You know they call me Cap’n Clix ’round these parts, right?

There are two solutions.

1. I stop buying cars
2. I get a heated shop with a hoist so I can more easily maintain MORE CARS.

A 2002 LX470 has been my on and off daily driver/weekend vehicle since 2015 and has been the best auto I’ve ever owned. I’ve had an 88' XJ and a 98' 5.9 ZJ and they pale in comparison to the 100. With the time you save swapping sensors out on the Jeeps, you’ll be able to start a new hobby. That new hobby spending…

Actually you can write about how you’re slowly (or not) being converted from deranged rusty Jeep enthusiast to calm, collected and serene Toyota overlander via this purchase.

You’re conflicted about buying an intact 19-year old Lexus (aka Land Cruiser) versus a Jeep of any vintage?

Right, I just think from an attorney’s perspective you always want cover your butt so to speak and if you are going to use your cell phone recording as evidence in a legal by announcing you are recording it you immediatly take away any counter arguments that the recording was unlawful. 

That lady sucked though, because the Tim Hortons worker didn’t do anything to deserve that.

username checks out.

Hide the keys is old school dealership bullshit.

The national advertisement doesn’t guarantee the car is available at every dealer location and is subject to variances in inventory. It’s not the dealership’s fault if they don’t have that particular car in stock, and it isn’t a false advertisement because the dealer in the next town over might actually have it. It’s…

They can skirt around it by saying the manufacturer advertised the special, but the dealerships aren’t ordering cars equipped that way. Or the dealership can say they’ll order one for you and it will take months to get it, or you can look at this model on the lot which is only $100 a month more...

Damn, even a Quiverfull family could have all the seating capacity they need for less than $45,000 total.

I know we touched on this particular turdbox fairly recently, but damn if I’m not tempted to buy a full warranty, brand new surfboard carrier whose use will also prolong the life of my precious 8th gen Civic Si:

Sounds heavy.
