It totally depends on where you are. In Western Oregon, my dog stays cool in the camper shell with a screen window 45 weeks a year. If I went back to a car or SUV, it would be nice to have an option other than leaving the car running.

It would probably be an issue with a German Shepherd, but my girl friend’s 15 lbs terrier doesn’t seem to have that kind of raw power.

This is brilliant for bugs, but it would also be really nice for keeping pets cool when parked.

I think there is still a large contingent that hates him. Ellen took heat for spending time with him, and he’s largely disappeared from public life for the last 11 years.

Neutral: I’m feeling lucky to still be working, and I’ve been getting out almost every weekend since April to do camping trips. The suspension on my truck is getting tired, and I ordered OME BP-51s and rear springs to support my gear and roof top tent.

I get all reasons why they suck, and I love a good barricade; but they were a nice option for last mile transit from public transportation. 

You are absolutely correct, but I reserve the right to whine about it.

This could have been your chance to amend your ways and make up for your misspent youth.

I love this idea. It’s like pre-internet Rule 34.

I was thinking the same thing. With a manual this thing seems like it would be a blast to run around the coastal and mountain roads of Oregon pretending I was still in high school.

You have me picturing a Kirkland based luxury lifestyle complete with a pool of peanut butter filled pretzels.

Do you want guillotines? Because this is how you get guillotines.

Here’s a person that gets it. Buying a vehicle is about total cost of ownership, not the price when you drive it off the lot.

The RDX and MDX sell like hot cakes and carry that sweet, sweet CUV margin. I can believe you don’t notice them, they are virtually indistinguishable from any other CUV, and I’ve never seen one in a color other than gray.

My parents always buy two of the same (used) car. My dad does most of his own work, and stocking tools and spare parts as well as mastering maintenance are the main reason.

I love the idea of an MR2 by Lotus.

I hope more companies think about what they can do to help their partners and employees recover. I believe the companies and people that have weathered this thing unscathed (or better off) will have an obligation to give a hand to the people that are hurting.

You can buy a SAW squad gun in 7.62 in semi automatic and 50 cal semi automatic rifles. A 20mm auto cannon would require hanging a business Justification and some pretty serious ATF and ITAR paperwork.

“90% of the guys that buy Tacoma’s will never even use it for transporting rebels, let alone mount a 20mm cannon in it.”
