Ok then literally, the gladiator offers the shortest, narrowest, shallowest bed that I can find in a current pickup. And it does it with an obnoxiously long overall length. That makes it less fun to drive and park, a giant pile of wasted interior space for those who would have opted for a regular or extended cab, and…

It could have been better. Every Wrangler pickup conversion was better. Every concept truck was better. Of course it was going to come with compromises, it’s a midsize. But I was willing to make compromises for something kinda functional with removable doors and a manual. This is non-functional. The bed is useless…

I go all summer without doors to lock. Or a roof. I leave the Jeep empty and I don’t worry about it. Half the time I leave the keys in the ignition.

Gosh, the truck that doesn’t do anything well is selling for cheap after the hype dies down? Seriously though, the bed is the size of a child’s sandbox. The “cab” is pretty much the entire wrangler unlimited. The truck is comically long and narrow so it’s garbage for being a pickup, garbage for being a commuter and…

I just upgraded 7-10 on my office computer. It was free (thanks to the handy guide posted here last week), quick and with only minor annoyances. The network permissions got a little wonky, none of the other computers could see the newly 10ed machine. I got that mostly ironed out. The only other issue is I lost a…

Wow a WRX that doesn’t make me immediately wretch. It’s been a long time.

I know this because I’ve been through the options for an F350 about a billion times recently, Ford charges $125 for a Universal Garage Door Opener. It’s already optional on the pickups. I think the CD players are baked into even the base option radio, how much could they possibly be saving by omitting a $5 CD player…

I would drive the ever loving F out of that

I said the bike letters and numbers are bad. But at least CBR1000RR looks at worst like a file name while ID Space Vizzion looks and sounds like something a first grader concocted

Can VW PLEASE rethink this naming strategy. I hate it with every fiber of my being. They are pandering to exactly zero people with this nonsense and I, for one, can’t begin to imagine what I’d say if I owned one when someone asked me “what do you drive?” It’s bad enough when people ask me what motorcycle I ride and I…

Dark mode should be the ONLY mode

Call me old fashioned, but I almost fell asleep waiting for all the swiping and clicking and selecting of apps and checking settings and waiting for the wheel icon... 

I JUST saw one of these today on 287 in Jersey. It was cruising in the right lane in the pouring rain a few cars ahead of a black Elise. I distinctly remember the voice in my head saying “oh look, a cool Ferrari.”

Can I get one with some smaller wheels? This looks like one of those cartoonish Hot Wheels nonsense cars

No matter how many holes you cut in it, no matter how many filters you run it through, that front end is butt ugly

1984 Audi 4000S Quattro with a 5 speed. I had the absolute time of my life in this car in my late teens/early 20s. I’m still waiting out the motor vehicle points, the last of which come off next year. I’ll be 39.

I like the laser idea but there are a few issues:

I want one so hard. I want one in every flavor. Especially supersport. 

Only the max payload issue is intermittent. The bed is required for lumber, plywood, drywall, trim, steel, ladders, scaffolding, appliances, furniture, ATVs, motorcycles, etc. A pickup with a high payload rating is just the simplest solution.

For everyone in the van camp - I’ve considered it. Covered and lockable cargo and tool storage is a huge plus. The problem is the long material, the nasty garbage, stone or mulch and all those other pickup friendly goodies. It’s always going to be a trade off of capabilities until you have a pickup AND a van. So far…
