Oooooohhh.

Straight talk: everyone I’ve ever talked to that drives a Dakota is happier than a pig in shit with their rig. Among the most notable perks? Balance and control, even in poor road conditions. Most seem happy with the V6, they’ve aged well, and I still see a lot of them on the road.  What else do you still see on the…

Yes they did step away from GM design language there. I rather liked the old Terrain... the new body style, not so much. 

Cue the flat universe society (trademark pending) counter arguments. 🙄

.... 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.

For my part, I want Google to hear all the vitriol I spew at my assistant when she’s being dense.

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 got so lost in the noise, but the point is valid.

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.
