Lived in MD for over a decade, so I know Sheetz and Wawa well. I liked them both but for different reasons, really. Perhaps it was simply the ones I went to that always seemed on point.

Never recommending a car to a non car person is excellent advise!

I don’t recommend any luxury truck bigger than a Ford Maverick, maybe a Ranger. You are not Mr. home improvement, You are not a part of the chip n dale rescue squad. Spending $100K on a king ranch that isn’t even going to see plywood, much less towing an imaginary boat once a year is Ludacris. Exceptions exist, but…

There are a lot of blanket answers here, but here’s a more specific one: Any 2012-2018 Ford Focus or Fiesta with the DPS6 dual-clutch transmission. It’s a shame, because they’re otherwise really good economy cars, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend an ST or a base model with a manual transmission. The used car…

Tesla, especially CyberTruck

You picked the Gladiator for legitimate reasons, but I’ll pick ANY Stellantis vehicle. In the last decade, I’ve had four that everyone of their transmission went out in. You’d think at least ONE might break 100K miles without a new trans.

We also have 6000 lb SUVs traveling at 60 MPH on 6 lane roadways in front of local suburban shopping centers. The mass exitance of local shopping centers with high speed, multi-lane roads between them really messes with us. 

Because Americans, like Alton Brown, hate unitaskers. Most people should be using mini cars in places they make sense like dense urban areas, and renting a pickup from Home Depot for $25 for the 75 minutes they actually need them every other year. We should also be building out robust public transportation on the…

Doesn’t have the turbo poking out the bonnet and hater pipe. Not bro enough for a Subarute.

You forgot sand, gravel, wind, hail and surfaces with more than 1/2" of standing water.

Should be fine as long as there’s no rain, snow, mud, or towing.

remember when russia first invaded ukraine and they realized that a failure to do basic maintenance resulted in the tires of all their vehicles to be completely rotted out and thus unable to traverse anything other than a paved road and the highways into Kyiv became a killing field?

I’m not saying landmines around the perimeter is a good solution, but I’m not, not saying it either. 

Rendered up here:

That’s pretty close the the late Ford Edge, which certainly never caught on, unfortunately. 

If Miata is always the answer, how about a Miata wagon/shooting brake? A new version of the clownshoe maybe?

The new Jetta. It would be great to see a new version of the Alltrack as well.

Every SUV at least.  Back from whence you came, you abominations!

The Dodge Charger - BRING BACK THE MAGNUM, you cowards.
