Yup....this is why I like ‘ring comparisons. You have to have a well balanced vehicle to run the gauntlet like this and you can’t run every turn flat out.

I have no problem with any part of that statement. In fact, if I had the money, I’d be ok with having all three in my garage.

Yes! Mid-engine all day long! I like my weight low and centered and my wheels all-driven. Too bad it costs six figures to get it.

Taco Time puts me in the danger zone...but that shit is garbage and I don’t eat it if I can help it. Every once in a while I forget how bad it is and go for a burrito only to regret that decision.

You have to watch those moonroofs, they’re finicky as Hell. A bit of grunge in the track, or if the pinch sensor triggers it’ll open all the way. ALL the way. I seem to recall a certain bypass for it, like pushing in the dial and turning it to closed? There’s a trick to it.

Sometimes, my Jeep chimes when I turn off the ignition. Sometimes, it doesn’t. Just one chime. Nothing lights up on the dash or anything, just DING.

What a beast.

This. Even covered you run a severe risk of hypothermia is just a moment. The only advantage is that the air up high should be mostly dry....but pretty humid on the ground if you’re near water.

Well....you could epoxy that on. Going in to fix the plastic clip might be a problem. Why use plastic for a linkage?? Why?

Usually, in the absence of the arrow, you can tell which side the filler is on based on what side of the dash cluster the gas gauge is on. It’s been a while since I’ve been in a vehicle that doesn’t have the arrow, but that’s what I’ve noticed when driving unfamiliar vehicles.

Nope. Hands free, playing music off my phone, and convenient charging ports are all I really care about. Navigation is handy, but I’d rather have it built right in to the vehicle.

I’m not a Camaro fan-boy by any stretch, but my secret car desire is a drop-top Camaro. Something about how inviting they look with the top down, especially with the paint matching interior trim option (I saw one with a gray interior, it sucked).

Can confirm. I grabbed an older model with the 2.4 World I4, and 5-speed t355 (if memory serves) manual. 4x4, of course. The gearing is ‘sufficient’ but I’d prefer a 6 speed, using 6 as a longer overdrive and a bit shorter through 2-5. What I’ve found, especially as the years weigh on the vehicle, is that I’m…

Where’s that Degrasse Tyson ‘badass’ picture when you need it.

As I’m not familiar with the solution you’re thinking of using, I can only give you a general idea of how to proceed. What I can give you is since knowledge on how we prepare material for salt corrosion protection.

There are some solid suggestions here already. One thing it might be, surprisingly, is dust. Take it to the car wash and blast the wheels, brakes, and undercarriage out as best you can. Rinse until the water runs out clean and see if that improves.

Yes.

I had a feeling this was the case. You’d need a small right hand drive car. Even a Colorado equipped to drive on the wrong side of the road is probably too damn wide for some of the roads.

They look pretty good. I’m not a huge fan of the way the CRV looks stock, but that ain’t bad.

I didn’t, either. But I didn’t know Turo offered coverage to renters, either. I didn’t even consider the renter’s responsibility in the first place....which can get a little convoluted.
