NP just for the garage cleanliness and organization. That’s who you want to buy 31 year old sports car from.

I know none of us follow this rule, but ...

NEVER MOD YOUR DAILY DRIVER

Fun? You’re having a baby, you already had fun. Fun is now dead to you. 

This is the worst case ontario - you had a kid that you probably didn’t want, and even if you think you did, you will realize later that that little bastard will eat all your raviolis when you’re passed out from trying to forget about the fact that you live in a burned out trailer. It’s banishment to the minivan world…

Having been down this path, I feel like folks should list their height if car seats are involved. With rear facing seats car seats, my wife and I found that the passenger seat had to be too far forward for either of us to be comfortable in my old bugeye WRX wagon and even to an extent her Jetta.

“weighs as much as a thinking about a pie”

What about reliable?

Why are you so profoundly Google-challenged?

“it weighs as much as a thinking about a pie” - I have no idea what Torch is trying to say here, but someone should probably give him a pie.

I agree with the thought though, the xB is the closest you can get in the States to the ultimate small family car - the Kia Ray

I mean, have you at least given adoption a thought?

This. My off road trailer costs $10/yr to register, liability insurance covered by tow vehicle, and can be stored easily on my 1/3 acre property. It can cary my 17' canoe and/or 3500# of gear. With 33" tires, if this thing can’t be towed/dragged there, you’re probably walking.Most of the time it is my portable yard…

Poll's broken so I'm not voting yet. But slightly above average 90s car, slushbox, and mechanical problems? Definitely CP at $5500.

These things add cost, complexity, weight, and fragility. Furthermore, if you are going to put a couple hundred pounds of stuff on your rack, then you’ll have to lift all couple hundred pounds of stuff, plus a hundred pounds of rack, all at the same time to put it back in position.

Thanks! Hopefully this will ungrey your reply.

I believe Milton is stating:

Very often, cosmetic taste and understanding of vehicle maintenance are exclusive. It is likely the the previous owner (unlikely to be the original owner) did not care for this vehicle much beyond it’s appearance.

While this is a vehicle from a famed home of reliability, one must consider…

So, is this like Naked and Afraid? Instead of a PSR, David will be assigned a JSR, Jeep Survival Rating.

This should not be on the road. You are a danger to others.

Are we calling engine swaps "bolt-on" now? I mean, you may not be notching the frame or welding new mounts, but it's still a damn engine swap. 

The better to instill fear into the opposing soccer team.
