That was the joke

Relevant information. Of note, it’s questionable if it runs and drives.

Wheres a track suit or fashion jeans, talks loudly, and only gets coffee at Starbucks.

I know the person in the X4/X6 doesn’t think about me, nor anyone else but themselves for that matter :)

Ha! Obviously it’s a good business idea as they sell. Still doesn’t make them completely pointless or make you wonder about those that buy them.

While I comment on nearly any car I see, my wife routinely points this one out every time we see one. “I still don’t get why anyone would buy that”. And almost every time, the person fits some sort of stereotype... that typically wants to be seen / acknowledged / low self esteem and probably and we believe is also…

Personally, I think Mercedes is the worst currently. This rounded look on the C class and E Class look atrociously bad, even going as far as embarrassing to be seen in. In my opinion, the late 2000s / early 2010s C class is one of the best sedan designs of the last 20 years and the new one is one of the worst.

Vehicle Identification Number Number

HA! As a teenager, I thought they were cool. As an adult, I don’t. Even back then though, I probably only ran them for a few months. At night they sucked and I got tried of pulling them off and on the truck.

Oh, I know ALL about the parking lights. In the mid-nineties I sported tinted headlight covers on my brown F150. I would drive around often with just the parking lights on as it just looked so much cooler! :D The brown F150 belonged to my grandpa, who passed away, so it had great sentimental value in addition to…

Actually we are there, in some regards. As a real industry example, Ford is opting to not invest in any lithium ion battery plants. They are leaving that to their vendors, to build the infrastructure to produce them. The reason is two fold. 1. It’s stupidly expensive to do this at high volume/high efficiency/high…

OUCH! I did this in my Bullitt about 6yrs ago. Just some “deep” scratches in the plastic. Haven’t done anything about it. I wear it with pride.

From O’Reilly’s about 15yrs ago. I needed a new alternator or battery.... don’t remember now but the employee proceeds to tell me the following... “Most people don’t know this but the alternator can’t recharge a battery, if it did it would cause the wires to overheat and catch on fire”. He was dead serious.

Makes sense to me! Per my point though, I would like to have the posi dif (LSD), and according to their online site, it’s only available (is standard) on the GT2. Not even optional on GT1... but their guide oddly says it’s available on GT, which I think is incorrect. I am curious how much the part is to have installed…

Make sense. Smart woman! Rubicon does hold a nice premium, especially if she takes care of it. It’s also nice to have the stronger axles and lockers.

I have been trying to figure out one major thing. Can you clearly tell me if there are any differences between a GT1 and GT2 other than the tech package & posi diff? If so, If we can determine the cost to put the diff in after purchase, you may be able to just get GT1 and save at minimum $5k.

100% agree. As a good example, in my Mustang I switched up to Carbotech pads. Stopping power was greatly improved but at the cost of fairly significant noise. No real fucks given over noise, I know what I have :D. Previously I had EBC Yellows. While they performed great, and virtually no noise, I can stop quicker and…

What I learned, is I should start looking for a clean E class!

Yup. My best friend pulled the trigger on a new Rubicon, because 3-4yr old ones were still often within $5k with 50k miles or more.

Also, google thinks the F150 Ranger is a luxury car.
