I said F-type because I think they are the prettier of the two.  The maintenance on either is sure to cause tears.

It’s a NP because it is a serviceable Mercedes.  The Air Suspension would be the big question mark for me.  If I show up and the battery is dead from the compressor running non stop to keep a damaged air shock inflated I’m running away.

Jaguar F-Type pre-2020 340hp, 6 speed manual, convertible, 19 mpg combined, but most likely a maintenance nightmare cuz Jaguar. Plus not exactly wife and kid friendly. Ideal divorce dad car though.

Honestly I own a 4runner SR5 premium and I probably do more truck stuff with it than most trucks. Haul a 12' 4x4?  No problem drop the rear window and pass through the cab.  Need to air down tires for offroad?  There is a 12v DC and 110v AC plugs in the rear for an air compressor.  Also comes factory with metal skid…

Friend has an E46 of this vintage.  First thing we did was replace every vacuum hose on the top end and the intake manifold gasket.  The only real issues these have is all the little plastic hoses or connectors cracking causing weird vacuum leaks that are hard to hunt down.  Seems like the maintenance has been kept up…

Needed a good car with a gun to put out the fire by shooting bullets back at it.  That’s how this works right?

Stolen PII is stolen PII. Are you telling me you wouldn’t be upset and/or seek legal repercussions if someone within your company took your social security number or other PII and gave it to a newspaper. I don’t care if it ruins the whistleblowers credibility- if it doesn’t pertain to the legal case the person is…

I see two roll hoops can this thing actually seat 2?  Seems like a tight squeeze.

C&D- The blackwing CT5-V is awesome!

9% markup on a $54.5k car, nah I’m good.  That’s a nice Canyon Denali which I’m sure is nicer to be in and has a better specs.  Same with a Ranger or Colorado which won’t have that kind of markup on it.

Does it have a GM 3.8L?  Then it is a cigarette car. 

We had a customer who had one of these. I had to buy a 32mm low profile socket on a 3/8" extension that could do up to 15 degrees offset. I don’t like these just because I had to buy a special tool for the oil filter to work on them. Also, the visibility is crap out of the convertible so I’m sure its even worse in…

I really like it and did vote NP but why are they selling it only 1000 miles after a rebuild. Seems like a lot of money and time to turn around and sell right after an engine rebuild and within the break in period.  Hope everything shakes out.

I knew 2 people that owned Rodeo’s and 1 that owned a Trooper.  Every one of them tipped there’s over at some point.  The Rodeo was unsafe as hell.  Somehow very light and very top heavy at the same time.  Spun out with no effort at all.

Depends on the dealer and even then it is rare.  Most dealers have a limited allotment of loaner cars and they get loaned out as soon as they come back.  The loaners also are not guaranteed to be the same vehicle as yours or fit your needs.  If you have 4 kids and need a minivan for example and get a sedan as a loaner…

I haven’t like the styling since the 10th gen which ended production in 2014.  They really haven’t made it any better with this restyle.  I suppose it doesn’t matter because the Tahoe and Suburban have always been too expensive for me.  A RWD chevy SUV starting at over $54k is just too much.

Never came in manual, if it did they would’ve sold even less or maybe they wouldn’t who knows.

Whom amongst us hasn’t decapitated someone by illegally flying a plane.  Could happen to anyone.

no sign no crime.  classic defense

Use a split maul, way easier to chop wood. I find that axes are good for taking down trees when you can’t bring a chainsaw, split mauls are great for splitting rounds once the tree is down and cut into manageable rounds.
