I’m just seeing some mouse wheels turn in David Tracy’s mind.

I mean it’s only a relic if it doesn’t get the job done.

3 out of 4 vehicles have this protective feature.

If I were choosing between a car w/ or w/o a smokers package. At cursory glance that would mean it would have a means to create fire incase i’m stranded in the middle of nowhere and need to make a fire for myself, esp if I’m not carrying a lighter.

Neither are Jeeps.

Dear Sir, Madame, or other non-binary pronoun,

I’m definitely fine with this.  When we’re on the trail, we’re usually in “get fucked” mode because we have to idle to keep vehicle occupants warm when we’re out chainsawing fallen trees in front of us.

So you’re basically saying we’re getting a 70's series labeled a 300 series? lol 🤔

Honestly, Toyota just needs to give us the 70s-series Troopy that’s been around for decades with a Hybrid Drivetrain. That’s what I want/need. Jeep is going that direction, why can’t Toyota?  

you’re right, going in to any of these types of areas esp if they get snow or moisture, the requisite equipment is chains first, then winch, then traction boards.

yeah this reminds me of xmas tree trip of 2014. once the clouds took over in december, and the sun began to set, it was game over.

oh wait, i found it right here.

Would you happen to have a photograph of your remote control?

I’m already seeing people on twitter attacking the existence of ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles as much as their former posts regarding firearms and the 2nd amendment. <turns on satire hour> I’m just wondering when this Kuntzman is gonna tell us about the PTSD he’ll get around internal combustion engines.

Humans are the disease.

Yeah, it’s going to be a marketing decision for whomever manages this stuff. It’ll basically come down to “how much more money would people be willing to pay for a manual transmission”.

If the rest of the marketing survey says it’s mostly a bunch of teenagers w/ no money or parents who already have a minivan, a Nissan L…

We don’t necessarily have to give up stick shift for a hybrid.  The Honda Insight was a hybrid w/ an MT.

Ok sorry, it sounds flippant, but it’s not. I’ve dealt with some issues in my long road trips across Colorado and the rest of the USA. There was a time where our group was trying to throw trash away in a dumpster at a service station from our camping trip and the guy working there was like “gtfo, why don’t you go back…

Must be nice being Caucasian.

Skip bring a trailer. That’s where you can find them for 15k.
