I think I love my $1000 XJ more than most love their $30k JKU’s though.

Actually with the lift and tires she has made it worth more. Jeeps are one of those automotive oddities where they don’t depreciate like a sinking anchor and basic modifications can actually add to the value. Hopefully they had the mods insured too though.

I’m pretty sure you read what I said wrong just so you could be angry. Many companies can share a model without even being in the same realm of profitability of one another.

Or better yet the FCA model, lose money on the cars to gain it on something else. With FCA it is loans and with Tesla it is other products and IP.

Well I’m this case I would because there are Ford sedans as well as SUVs and trucks used for different police duties. Also saying “I saw a ton of smarts being used for traffic cop duty” sounds even more ridiculous and nobody really thinks of their model name here. Even on the Smart website it says “Compare Smart…

Can’t hate a guy for being dealt a lucky hand. I’ve met many that get dealt a similar hand and either blow it or are assholes.

That’s what I was thinking. If he did rally racing or more World of Outlaws type racing I would say the skills would translate to snow better but not his type so much.

The demilitarized vehicles as well as the armor and weapons are free. It’s the upkeep they have to pay for. I’m assuming the armored vehicles would end up costing less due solely to that fact.

I don’t know, I’m pretty sure I saw a ton of smart cars being used for traffic cop duty. That would be worse just because it would be more effort getting in and out.

I think journalists are what screwed the 200. They went in expecting them to be crap and made up reasons that they were crap. We drove one for 1300 miles over the course of two days and it had nary a hiccup. Many newer smaller cars I’ve tried seem to take a second to make up their mind if they want to go or not. We…

Thank jeebus I’m not the only one. I thought they seemed nice than comparably priced Toyota’s and their plastic wasn’t quite as cheap as Chevrolet’s.

Wait... I’m pretty sure one of their competitors already have that one.

With how cheap a decent one is there is no good reason not to have one. I love mine. It especially helps in the dark recesses of a Cherokee.

I did have an afterthought that she should have also consulted an engineer but didn’t want to go back and try and edit my comment.

Except arborists are very capable of determining if it is attached in such a way that would prevent that from happening. Maybe you are confusing arborists with tree trimmers?

Richard Rawlings’ Mustang is based off of the one in The Thomas Crown Affair. So you’re close.

I’m already watching for busted up old Jeep XJ’s like I’m David Tracy. How am I supposed to watch for tanks too dammit?!

I think the hand held ones that actually work well are very close to the six figure range.

If it works like artwork I think they can claim above what they payed.

Kind of both but mainly the second.
