I do think the side stripe looks good. And the under seat drawer storage is pretty neat!

Regular salt works just fine too. About 1/2 teaspoon in like 6 ounces of warm water and then... yeah plan on staying home for a couple hours.

So tall station wagons with storage killing sloped backs. not a problem they look nice.

How was the fueling/throttle on it?

I think you’re in the minority on that, I can’t think of anyone else I’ve heard say anything bad about the looks.

This, so much.

Totally nice price. Heck, I don’t even mind the current wheels on it.

I have a 2011 base model with the 5 speed and absolutely love it. It’s so basic, it doesn’t even have cruise control or a remote fob, but I got a screaming deal on it a few years ago ($8k with about 15,000 miles on it) that I couldn’t pass up when I was looking to replace my 96 Cherokee. Even put some “fancy” Borbet…

When you piss off Super Tex (the man who killer bees still couldn’t kill) enough to give you a ride, you’ve gone far and above what is necessary.

Do you really need a van? Either for work/hobbies/children/etc..? I see no mention of it in the post so I’m guessing the answer is no.

I’m mostly with you on this. Never was a big fan of the cars when new, but I agree the matte black and whitewalls improve the look. They make sense too as a sort of homage to 50s hot rods.

IIRC there are a bunch of US states that have similar laws in place as well.

Glad you’re ok dude! Obviously, that could have gone A LOT worse and glad it didn’t.

I haven’t ridden this updated one but I rode the current one this past summer. It’s actually a VERY easy bike to ride. Surprisingly nimble for its weight/design and not too powerful.

USB jack.

Hopefully a solo motorcycling camping trip to WV in the spring, and then another similar one later (September?) to VT (I live in MA).

Why would you be against the men and women who put their life on the line so you can sleep safe in your bed at night?

Lawrence does not write enough for Jalopnik!

One more time, for the latent racists in the comments:

Yes and no.
