I already know how this will be reacted to, but I’m going to recommend it anyways: a Jeep Patriot

The Sport Trac can fit 4x8's. Plus It can tow 6,800 pounds vs 6,000 for the ranger, and has 1,450 pound payload capacity vs 1,260 for the ranger.

Ha! So did my dad (though his were ‘90, ‘94, and ‘97). The things we did with those cars. The first gen hit 145mph and the second gen did ~155mph. Great cars!

More driving training can only help. I’d gladly go to mandatory classes if it meant that the rest of society would finally drive better.

I feel like the American distracted driving thing comes, in part, due to lax enforcement and the general American sense of personal freedom.

Thought: I’ve long felt that the American multi-tasking driving culture evolved from the unreasonably low speed limits that we have had to deal with for decades. With those limits making drivers *think* they don’t need to pay full attention. I know when I get up to 100, 110 that thoughts of multitasking quickly…

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’m so against this. The average American driver can’t handle a car above 45 let alone 100.

Came here to say this very thing. With great speed comes great responsibility.

I know T. Jon ( we worked at the same company for a short time) so I’m not going to argue with him, especially since his explanation is accurate. But there is another reason.

I think the buyer is missing the basic psychology here. Do you want a doctor who is your equal? Or do you want a doctor who is smarter than you? If I am hiring an architect, I definately want someone who has better taste than me. The Volvo, especially the interior, screams “architect’s car.” The Land Rover would also…

Nah, we like cats.

Lighten up Francis, leaving a dog unattended in a climate-controlled environment is not “shitty”. The dog is comfortable, it’s no more shitty than leaving the dog at home, less so actually. I’ll speak for my dog and say she would prefer to come with me and chill (literally) for a minute while I run in the store than…

How about a “dawg” mode where it automatically winds down all the windows, sets the autopilot to 10mph and plays “It was a good day” at max volume

Mini also confirmed that it is going have a base MSRP of $79,895* excluding destination

The viper first went on sale in Jan 1992 and Soichiro Honda died in mid 1991

When my oil arrived there was a big scratch on the label. 1/5 stars. I have no thoughts on the quality of the oil itself.

I have often complained that capital, unlike labor, is instantly mobile and able to take advantage of changes in cost (labor, environmental, tax, etc) environments. Now it appears that capital can just as easily choose which government it wishes to embrace.

Forget the Crocs, man—he’s not wearing harnesses (the upper belts, at the very least). I can’t see any type of seatbelt being used in the video, and that’s just dumb.

Whats wrong with being a “dickbreath”? Half the world has probably sucked a dick.
