David - this Jeep doesn’t want to live out the last of its days being a reliable daily drivers, it wants to run free in the forest. Sure, that freedom may come at the cost of Amazon LEDs and a rhino liner paint job, but it will be doing what it was made for.

What you should do is discuss with your credit union about refinancing an auto loan. Most credit unions do this, the cost is usually minimal, and the rates are still competitive. This would allow you to take whatever rate the dealer wants to push and lower it later through your credit union.

$20K makes up for a bunch of deficiencies, that’s for sure. You can always turn the back seat into low security lockable storage which is what I’d do. 

If drywall/plywood is that big a part of your life you already own a fullsize or a work van so this is just a strawman. 

Maybe a slightly shorter wheelbase.

I can appreciate that. But also, nobody actually wants a single cab any more, even single guys. The rear seat is a where you put the stuff you don’t want stolen from the bed.

This is the absolute perfect truck for most people who buy trucks. Therefore Ford will sell about a dozen of them and they’ll be discontinued in three years. 

This thing is gonna be an absolute fucking game changer. The Santa Cruz has the better truck specs, but the hybrid Maverick is HUGE between the price and mileage. I’m very, very impressed. When I was looking at Rangers before I got my Ram, this might have gotten me to downsize rather than upsize.

If trump put his pants on backwards the extra fabric needed to cover his ass would look like he’s wearing parachute pants.

Most non-car folks are just going to see a clean, but very old, no-frills 4x4, and have no clue how much a Bronco in that condition can go for now.

every time I see a moderately high res picture of him it still blows my mind—how can ~40% of the population see everything that I see in that picture—the small pale hands, glowing orange foundation, bad combover, ill-fitting suits, tubby body, etc.—and think that that projects or exemplifies strength, leadership,…

We’re missing a great opportunity to make Trump’s idiot followers start wearing their pants backwards to own the libs.

You absolutely can, because they are two different things. One has to do with the tread compound, the other with the structure of the tire.

Dealers, I have a car to sell. It’s in high demand and very desirable. Perhaps you can meet me at the location of my choice? I’d like to develop a relationship with you. We can sit down and talk about how much you can afford to pay me, maybe put it in four handy little boxes labled “CASH”, “lotsa money”, “big moolah”…

I grew up in Hudson as well.... and while we loved to claim the righteousness of John Brown’s legacy, we also spawned douchebag Trump acolytes like Nino Vitale: https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2020/06/02/gop-rep-on-anti-racism-resolution-im-darker-than-most-black-lawmakers/.

Cindy Suchan can’t be thaaat bad. I mean, just look at this wholesome picture of her and her son:

Built in Belfast, wasn’t the DeLorean the European equivalent of a DeLorean?

yeah, I live not far from Hudson and have a lot of co-workers (mostly Asian and South Asian engineers with graduate degrees) that live there because it’s the best public school district in the county. but then the town also has a bunch of Stowbillies on the outskirts and kind of rich white folk who think they’re…
