I feel it’s only a matter of time before (at least on certain vehicles) the option of a manual becomes a premium option as automakers look to offset costs while maintaining limited options for that very specific enthusiast buyer. Consequently the row your own car won’t completely die, but you’re gonna have to really…

Down in the Keys, it’s #boatlife.  There are a lot of folks in the Keys who live on the water full time.

All day long.

Indeed. I guess I need more sleep. 

There’s usually all kinds of weird stuff for sale from the olds in Cape Coral.

This isn’t going to take the “Handsome Midsize Car” crown away from the Mazda 6, that’s all I’ve got to say.

It is literally drinking a cup of spiced crème anglaise.

Lol, I’m simply speaking from experience. I had a 13 Limited with a 3rd row. Great truck. And yes, at least regarding the In brand competition the 3rd row in a highlander is lap of luxury compared to the 4R.

You can, but expect to pay through the nose for that luxury, and go into it knowing that it will only seat 2 10yr old girls, and with the 3rd row in use the cargo area will fit approximately 4 tortillas. 

Ballaban, WTF is wrong with you man? That’s two solid takes today.

I’m losing faith here.

The joke.  You missed it.

Sorry, I came looking forward to an awful take, and honestly I feel like you let me down here.

I have no feelings about this.

Is this Ballaban’s first decent take?
*checks history*
... Might be!

Only?

Yep, if it doesn’t pack the 22RE, CP all day long. 

Keep your best XJ, the Golden Eagle and the J10.

That gives you an offroad capable rig that is also your favorite Jeep... and if you aren’t going to Moab soon, all the better. The Eagle will make a fine beater, and the J10, because pickup truck.

I haven’t been to SEMA since 2011, but I swear that bagged Conti was there way back then too.

Awesome. 

Oh god I love LCs.
