I think it’s time to pass this one along to DeMuro for a story. Maybe he can tow it back to Philly with his Aston Martin and do... stuff.

Can’t you just get taller?

I don’t think I need to qualify this with an explanation, but a real six-speed stick behind a 300-hp turbo four in a sub-3000lb package would be so freakin’ sweet. Especially if they kept it Kia-cheap.

GG?

JK unlimited with hard top on - it’s possible.

I’ve never owned a Jeep until our BU. But I’ve driven more than one TJ. It just seemed to have a smoother ride - maybe it was the tires or something else but the JK Wranglers I’ve driven - both Unlimited and short wheelbase - seem to just want to bounce all over.

I second that. The TJ was a better driving vehicle, IMO, but even that was just slightly better than a friend’s old CJ5.

It wasn’t it wasn’t very good weed, knowing my dad. But what I do know is that it was grown in a barn somewhere in western Pennsylvania. Apparently the guy that was growing it ended up in jail for several years for his operation.

True story: my dad traded a 1/4 lb. bag of weed for a first gen civic in about 1989. Blue, 4-speed, and didn't run all that well.

Nissubishi?

Kinja User Flyingstitch has the best description of this kind of truck:

They generally drop the headliner, cut out one roof brace, cut a hole in the roof, install and wire up the sunroof - generally attaching it to where the brace was cut out - and put a new…

Unfortunately, if you pick the manual, you better be happy with cloth seats and not much in the way of extras

Needs orange paint, canary yellow seats, rollbar, and wheels.

On our brand new car we bought the extended warranty. Because it’s a Fiat-platform Jeep with a tiny turbocharged engine that begs you to wind it out every chance you get.

I’m sure these women could give you wenching tips:

Good read. With summer coming up you may have the opportunity to do a “cruise-in-of-the-week” feature. Within 50 miles of UNCC there are literally dozens of Friday night cruise ins. I drove past one last night in Stanley (Gaston County) and saw everything from a race-prepped MGTD to slammed bugs to the daily-driver…

The Sorento is one of those strange vehicles that seems to push all the right buttons but in the wrong order. Or it's a dischord of a car. I would take an Equinox before a Sorento.

I drove a journey a few weeks ago. It was like a cheap Chinese counterfeit Highlander.
