Man, I’d take one of those weird Chinese not-a-Jeep things in a heartbeat. I only need 30 miles of range to get to work and back, and there are chargers outside my office.

I hadn’t realized either the Compass or the Cherokee had a stick until your comment made me go digging a bit.

The Compass, oddly enough.

Let’s embrace performance crossovers and bring that trend back with something like the 2020 Porsche Macan Turbo.

If I took out a loan...

Clearly needs larger side mirrors, but that’s a cheap upgrade. NP for the pure weirdness factor.

Oddly I can’t find the Jalopnik piece at the moment, but the strong indication is there won’t be another Spider when this generation is retired.

Renegade lost the stick last year IIRC #sadtrombone

Combined with the revealed lame duck status of the 124, this is a bad week for Fiat fans.

Floated when parked.

These are (mostly) 2018 JLs.

This is my database of ice cream spots in Indiana (no, I haven’t been to all of them), and a lot of these are drive-ins. One of my favorites is the Mug ‘n Bun on the west side of Indianapolis (their root beer floats are scrumptious) but I’d be hard-pressed to pick the best.

Username checks out.

Tachometer is useful when you’re having idle problems. Ask me how I know, sigh.

I cannot adequately express the delight I feel at your comment.

One of the downsides of naked Jeeping: you smell everything. At least with most convertibles you have doors and can raise the roof once traffic slows to a crawl.

The original Jeep was basically a floor with seats and an engine. Some of us like to get as close to that as we can.

You kidding? That’s when you drop the windshield too! A/C the way Mother Nature intended it.

Never forget.

“100% correct” makes the rest of your argument easy to ignore. No one is 100% correct on anything involving geopolitics. And Trump can’t even stick to a specific policy without swerving every few days.
