Yup, and extra cool tires which made the uphill performance blow chunks, metaphorically speaking. I haven’t had the chance to try one with a pentastar. I’m now driving a cj7 with a 5.3l vortec, works great, but I do miss the 4 door!

Every year I’m more disappointed with what the wrangler has become. If the render is representative it is a definite step in the wrong direction. Even the grand cherokee’s look more like mini vans than jeeps. Worse than the looks though are the fact that it seems like they are attempting to make it less modifiable. I…

This is awesome, money well spent!

Maybe if it didn’t look like a turd it would sell better.

How long til we find out they have been cheating emissions on gas vehicles also. If they could set this up on diesels there is no reason they couldn’t have done it on gas. I will sorely miss the diesel engine in small cars. Great fuel economy, & great power. I’ll probably get roasted for this, but if I’m only using 1…

I submitted all my paperwork on 10/30. Recieved a confirmation email, and am still awaiting an offer. The worst part is that I did the math on mileage and submitted my claim as under 35k miles, expecting to sell back in November. As of a week ago I stopped driving the car because I’m at 34,800 miles and I don’t want…

Your headline states you learned nothing, but your post really shows you learned a lot. If nothing else, that you don’t want to wear a tail! I clicked, only expecting to read the first paragraph, but ended up reading the whole thing, nice job.

Hey man, every decent home garage mechanic who is pushing the boundaries has been there. Take the night off, take a breath and give it another go. I once changed the ax15 tranny in my wrangler three times before I got it right. No jack either, just pulled it up on my chest and lifted it with my knees and arms. Third…

And the EPA should get 100 for imposing rules that aren’t economically feasible. To far? There are lots of ways he could oppose the work without risking his job. There are whistle blower hotlines available I’m pretty sure. If we give people a pass because they didn’t have the moral fortitude to stand up for what’s…

While I get what you’re saying, take a moment and consider the real world implications of what you are suggesting. Massive unemployment for the people who arguably have more disposable income than the “workers” that you suggest retaining. Taking that much disposable income out of the market would likely result in an…

so you’ve seriously caused me to rethink my plan to sell my ‘15 passat TDI back and buy a late 90's M3. What is the best option then for a sub $10k luxury/sporty daily driver? Jaguar? I live in Florida so functional AC is almost as important as reliability.

I have that exact model fridge that you used in the picture. Makes a great kegerator!

Any mention of compensation for the extended warranty in a buyback situation? 2015 Passat bought in Colorado, by September I’ll be in the 30 to 35k miles range, but I opted for the extended factory warranty. 6 years or 125k miles. Also I’m no longer in Colorado. Can I sell it back in Florida?

This sounds exactly like the suits against gun manufacturers. If you support that, you have to support this.

Maybe I’m reading this wrong, but from what I can see on the graph deaths have been on a steady decline since 2004, suggesting that it took ten years for people to get used to driving faster and now we are safer than we were with 55/65 mph speed limits. You might be able to attribute some of that to safety features,…

At this point you should have headed to a laundromat, or goodwill.

Wasn't this same one up for sale last year? Or is this a different one?

This was it exactly for me, Lifestyle change. Every time I started to get tired of my "diet" I had to remind myself that it was a permanent change. It meant being sure to get beer, and pizza at least once a week, but probably only having one slice or maybe 1.5 instead of 4. I'm down 30 pounds and have maintained for…

Gracias, Saludos!

I understand their point of view, but worldwide if I say I'm American everyone knows what I mean. If I were to say I'm NorthAmerican, or Estadounidense, they'd just look at me funny, and then probably ask where/what that is. Typically I just tell people I'm a Gringo, it avoids the whole argument.
