Being stationed in Europe, I have the advantage of only one octane choice. That choice, 95 Octane, would be like super premium in the states. I will say, my cars seem to go further on a tank, and feel more powerful than they did in the states. I suppose that is because we are basically one octane above burning black…

I don’t consider it as fugly as you do, but if I had a choice between a Hellcat Charger or a Hellcat 300c, the 300c would win hands down. It is a a far better looking car. But, we no longer live in a world where the 300 is treated as relevant, or even as existing at this point.

seems fitting given that insurance companies go out of their way to punish us anytime we have an accident.

I’m not sure the punisher sticker demographic has the scratch to roll in one of these. Case and point; there are three V6 Challengers on my base right now with Punisher stickers. All three belong to E-4 and below (reside in barracks on base). The only hellcat, owned by an officer, is factory clean.

This qualifies as Australia’s sweet spot for sure. 

I fear that your question is predicated on the belief that any politician in government actually gives a shit about anyone but themselves and their constituents. Constituents, as defined in 2021, means only any dirty businessmen (from the subprime loan industry for example), foreign government, or industry captain…

Chrysler Turbine

kind of with you on that one. I loved my quad cab Ram, but even that felt out of proportion. A single cab or extended cab pickup with a proper 6 foot bed will always be the sweet spot.

Jeep Grand Cherokee is the correct answer. 

One of the vehicles I work on frequently is a variety of tow tractor that has standard, coordinated, and crab steer options. At least once a month, we get a mobile maintenance call from the operators, who are trying to blame the vehicle for damage to the aircraft they tow. Every time we respond to see what is…

It’s the perfect truck. Continental measurements, the stone dead reliable 6.0L powerstroke, the never once sketchy international electronics, and the obvious prius like fuel economy. What could be better?

This is a good point. If I have to settle for just Nissans from a rental company, I’m going to be walking a lot of places. 

I find this thing almost entirely useless as a traditional pickup truck. I like it.
