After joining my are’s largest Jeep club I now have to disagree. There are more people in suburbia with higher paying jobs that off-road their Jeeps than in more rural areas. Actually many I see in these areas are the people that don’t off-road locally because nobody wants them on their land and don’t go anywhere else…

Great cars but that guy was full of shit.

Wait... you mean the two best franchises ever? They are super over the top and that is what makes them great.

That Eclipse is the only reason I every like any eclipse.

I believe that happened to either my borther’s old Escape or one of our old F150's too.

I had a 98 Taurus that did that after the key wore down.

Someone is optimistic. I try to be for them but with that being three years out I would be surprised.

F1 is about like the Olympics, the organization gets a majority of the money while the host is left to lick its wounds.

I remember back in the day the F150's had a stock 19 gallon with the option for duals. How companies make that call is odd. Maybe fuel tanks are an afterthought?

Sounds interesting. I also kind of agree with the notion.

If you’re into the whole tourism thing I have to say come visit my home town. It’s pretty nice from the outside looking in.

You can basically buy everything to do so.

I’m not advocating for the Midwest, just more or less saying it’s not all a boring flat scape. Every place has their ups and downs.

I almost had an argument with a drill sergeant one time when he said all of Indiana was flat when I made a remark of how Ft. Leonardwood reminded me of home. We have some beautiful rolling terrain. It’s all about choosing the right spot.

You’re thinking about a very specific part of the Midwest. There are places here in southern Indiana that’s fit that ideal while only being a short(USA short) distance away from cities to do things.

It’s not the greatest place to be but it’s okay. The most eastern parts are less terrible than the western parts, that’s where you got screwed.

Well damn, I thought it was an acceptable size for them. It’s about five or six more gallons than our old focus. I guess the early two thousands was a bit different in that aspect.

Oh, I can definitely understand the skewed view now.

The landscape in the US tends to be more diverse in areas due to lack of inspection I would assume. Where did you land when you first arrived? That could explain not seeing a bright yellow hummer within ten minutes...

I can attest to the lifestyle you promote in that last bit being from Indiana.
