It’s not the Journey, but the final destination.

Got t-boned back in 2007 with both my kids in the car. We were in a 99 Outback, and despite taking a direct hit in the side from a much larger vehicle (body on frame SUV) going roughly 45, we were all unscathed (well, I had a bit of a bruise on my forehead - no side curtain airbags yet on that 99).

To be fair, steam technology was over 100 years old by the time this was built, so there was a lot of experience and literature to draw from.

1998-2004 Pathfinder, dead reliable, comfortable, cheaper than a 4Runner and sticks are not THAT uncommon.

On the plus side, they are closer to being apprehended than they appear.

If there’s a car that deserves a manual, it’s something like this. Honda managed to keep a manual in the latest Accord, yet Toyota can’t bother for a sports car?
