Real Jeeps have round headlights

Bought 15-20 years ago before prices got stupid?

Oof, my mortgage is only roughly twice that, and I don’t live in a particularly cheap city. Granted, my house isn’t much bigger than the F150's and 3-row crossovers that are probably driving that number, but still.

I know Tamatoa didn't wear an eyepatch, but I don't know if Jermaine would be offended at the comparison.

She’s not Quebecois French, is she? I should know the accents better, but I was getting serious Telefrancais vibes off the whole thing. Plus, if this were a Canadian market dealer training guide, it’d make the shift from English to French about 5% less inexplicable.

It’s got to be the Jimny, right? It was an option right up to 2009, so why not again? Bonus points for offering it in early-90's retro shades like teal and pink.

It looks like Chrysler might have considered it back in the day, but it likely got killed due to the financial crisis right around the time the Challenger launched. Although, it’s surprising they didn’t try pursuing it again in the subsequent 14(!) years.

The lede picture doesn’t quite show it (although the article mentions it), but it’s parked only like 100m away from the 427 (a major local highway, so it’s super visible, and hasn’t moved from that spot since grounding, and sort of towers over everything in the area.

I don’t know if I wasn’t clear, or if you’re of the mindset that every problem on the road is the fault of drivers, but let’s assume that I need to make a right turn, but I have to stop because pedestrians are crossing. In the time I could wait, a cyclist could easily arrive that I would have never passed, and I…

Getting rid of the map would be a good start. You’re not wrong that parked cars are also an obstacle to see around (although depending on the opacity of the windows, maybe a tiny bit better).

So, what other compromises do we gatekeep? Plenty of compromises made for non-performance reasons, especially as fuel economy and emissions regulations tighten, or as safety standards continue to rise.

Depending on the year, I kind of get the Probe one, as the poster noted they bought it new, and the first-gen GT had a turbo 4 rather than the V6.

Oh come on - any number of compromises are baked into modern automobiles. You might as well say the Porsche 911 isn’t a true sports car because most of them have back seats, and it’d really be faster if it was mid-engined. A preference to RWD is understandable, but to gatekeep FWD cars out of being performance cars is…

Yup, Ford launched the Fox with the 3.3L I6 (as it was also used in the Fairmont, and descended from the I6 originally used in the Falcon and Mustang 20 years prior).

This is one relatively local to me - that (municipal!) bike share station is perfectly placed to hide cyclists who might be easily seen in your side view mirror. Like you say, some infrastructure seems like it’s not going to help anybody.

I can’t speak for New York, but “tax the cyclists” certainly comes up plenty in Toronto from people who are utterly ignorant to what actually funds our local infrastructure (the city budget which is primary funded by property and other general taxes that *everyone including cyclists* pay).

Is a 5% bigger Honda Accord something we’re dying to have? The 2.0 turbo would be nice, but it’s not as if we can’t get handsome sedans.

I feel like the full question is important, as it was effectively “are you afraid of being typecast [as gay].” It might still have been Oprah trying to stir something up, to couch a question that probably couldn’t have been tactfully asked in something more seemingly benign, but still. Either way, probably a safe bet…

I work from home, and as of the fall, my son is going to school a short walk from our house. If I don’t have to drive daily, I figure I can get away with something that might not run daily, right? Really, the SM would be more for weekends, for longer drives. If an EV-swapped GS existed (small and city-sized!…

I know it was a bit over a decade old at that point, but what exactly made the I5 “dated”? Perfectly adequate power, reasonable fuel economy for a premium car, and even did all that on regular.
