Um... what about the XJ?

Enters the chat from 1984...

The RAV4 was not the first unibody SUV, that title likely belongs to the Russians (1955, 1977). The first truly commercial success of a unibody SUV in the west however, was the Jeep Cherokee, which debuted a decade before the RAV4.

If 3 Rows were really about capacity, you would see more vehicles do what the 2023 Pilot does with its 2/3/3 seating and removable middle 2nd row seat to create access to the 3 seat 3rd row. This is Minivan level flexibility. Yet most 3rd rows are 2 seats only. I’ve never truly seen adults in the 3rd row, just people…

Once your truck has four doors, the real truck ship has already sailed, so whatever else they do to it doesn’t really matter.

Only thing wrong is the hunt club.

Your truck is for muddy boots; it is for beer runs and cigarettes; it is for hauling mulch; it is for going slow; it is for towing your shitty trailer, with the finicky tail lights; it is for going to pick up parts; it is for windows-down, no air-conditioning; it is for throwing your crap in the back and getting…

Who knew the Canyonero would end up with a cargo bed?

Markel marries into a family that is known to be cold unfeeling bastards (Diana? Unavailable for comment.) Than she is offended and crushed when they treat her like crap and are cold unfeeling bastards, WTF did you expect? Clarkson is being Clarkson and people are shocked? What a pathetic world we live in. Who gives…

I learned in a 1969 911e Targa. My dad brought me out to a large parking lot. Took me about 15 minutes to get the hang of it. Then the for the rest of the day he tought me about lift throtle oversteer.

Maybe because the ‘Voodoo’ evolution of that engine did make the list?

I’m not smart enough to know about heritage or history or significance, but I DO know that the Hellephant crate has big numbers and a fantastic name.

I just can’t get over the fact that someone actually named an engine “Powerstroke.” I mean, I get it, but man does it make me giggle every single time. And that’s not exactly the reaction you want for a big, serious engine.

I regret not mentioning it and I am surprised it didn’t make the cut but the Oldsmobile Rocket V8 of the late 40s was an absolutely revolutionary engine that made V8s a thing in postwar America. 

I had to take the 426 Hemi, but I would add a couple oldies.

As shitty and toxic as the tech industry can be, I feel like its casual lack of dress codes is a GREAT thing. I don’t really see a reason to make everyone rent a tux to pretend like they don’t wear comfortable clothes every day.

And the title description said:

His bomber jacket is probably a couple hundred dollars, and his dad jeans may be some pricey label. Although the bomber jacket covers his wrist, he strikes me as a Rolex kind of guy, but a TAG Heuer or Carty wouldn’t shock me. A TAG Carrera or Monaco in particular seems like something a Forza fan would dig.
