For now, I’m curious to hear what you’d really be looking for in a Jeep pickup

I usually jump start the car and then drive to the auto parts store, but the new battery, install in parking lot, and then they will usually take my old battery from me

I would agree on the car maintenance (hi from Jalopnik!) for the most part, however, oil changes don’t usually pay out. Even the cheapest name brand oil is gonna run you $20 and you can usually get deals all around (our local dealership offers $75 for 4 oil changes) and then not worry about getting rid of the used oil…

Those all look like physical buttons to me

I bring this up every time the amber vs. red turn signal debate comes up - if you can’t tell if I am putting on my brakes or using my turn signal, you are an idiot

So because you can get a specific color for cheap, it is the last pure example?

1.4 liter turbo inline-four, cruising along with 153 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque

I would imagine that most of what she hates is sorting, right? We don’t sort anything in my house. Everything gets washed together in cold water

She hates doing laundry, but loves folding clothes

Forever reserved

There’s no armrest on the driver’s right side, so my elbow just sort of dangles around a bit

A holiday is just another day if it doesn’t get me a day off of work

In my experience it is rare for companies to give that has a paid holiday. I have only had it at one job

What makes the NA Miata the last vestige? There are other cars that were produced later that lacked the computer nannies the same way the Miata did (and I am just talking about the US). The TJ Wrangler (through ‘06) comes to mind

Not really my style, but the wife loves him - Justin Timberlake

I have really good luck with JCrew (at least their dress shirts). I buy them from the JCrew Factory (aka outlet) when they have a sale so end up paying only like $25 a shirt and they last way longer and look better than the $25 shirt from Kohls

I am in PA, but there are only 4 manual transmission XJs for sale on ebay in the whole US

That was my thought too. Manual XJs are fairly rare

OBX in the summer of 2010. I was new to the off roading scene in my second-hand TJ that I had picked up the summer before. Also my first vacation with the girlfriend’s (now wife) family. Girlfriend and I are driving up to the 4x4 beach and as soon as we get there, we see a stranded Forester with 3 old ladies in it.…

Now that the Cherokee has gone full-on crossover (rather than unibody SUV like the old Cherokees and Liberties) I could actually see a place in the lineup for a solid roof, IFS Wrangler AS LONG AS the solid axle is still available (and not just on the Rubicon)
