.... And highways. 

That’s the new Terrain, right? 

... Or some sort of fluid coupling system.

You are correct. Call a Spade a Spade...if you’re operating a vehicle or making a conversation point about your transmission, you ought to know what you’ve got, why it’s the one you prefer, and its limitations.  That starts with being specific. 

While I do support higher pricing for irresponsible use, it does put a pretty big dent in the bottom line.

Our prices here are about (after converting to American units and currency) $3.38 for 89 and increasing thanks to Carbon Pricing. They’re projecting close to $4 (at current exchange) within a year and we enjoy the lowest price for fuel in the country.

I dunno. Some of the lyrics indicate, to me, that she's into men but who knows? 

Neutral: Tesla is a technology company. Think cellphone with wheels... And rockets.

I feel like, maybe, I’ve just been surrounded by (unnecessarily) overdone off-road machines for a little too long to find this appealing. Like, even if I had ‘don’t care’ money I couldn’t see myself finding a place in the stable for it.

I’d say oil runs a little thinner (less viscous) than bacon fat at operating temperature. Bacon fat might stay greasy, but I doubt it has the surface tension to do the job... Which is one of the things that oil does do really well under all kinds of operating conditions. That, and the fat globs plugging up the…

Some do, but it’s not super common. The multigrade oil is usually in the neighborhood of 20W-50; not exactly cold weather oil.

Because dirt in the cloth can scratch the finish.

It’s normal. Sahara rig hits $50K CAD pretty quick. Good luck finding a nice truck for under $60K. Most used Wranglers hover around $30K used, and rarely go for less than $20K.

I hear your concerns...Canadians have to make those same choices every time we look at a vehicle and the Wrangler almost checks all the boxes.... Yet the interior sucks.

Comfy shoes is a first for me, but cellphone and other old lady's accessory storage are going to be yuge in demand. 

B5 Passat would take that monster all day long. So much hydration. 

It probably should have. 

I’ll take torque and tight gearing over HP, myself. While it’s true I’ve never exceeded <REDACTED> on the ground, it’s ultimately pointless to exceed the speed limit by even 20 klicks.... The times where you might have to go a little faster than, say, 80mph... Those are the times where you need to be going that fast…

That’s how I feel about it, too, but information is rather sparse. Maybe they felt like they could skim some weight and cost from the cat because there’s less NoX exhausted by a VVT engine... But learned the hard way that it doesn’t keep up under certain loads and flow rates?

There is some truth there. If you’re going to get a truck, it may as well be a crew cab because anything less literally sucks for an interior. Extended cabs are really only good for gear, not people. Unless you need a long box for actual truck duties (then you might even be looking at a regular cab), it’s almost worth…
