I didn’t say that every vehicle has to always be used to its fullest extent in order to be viable. I’ve spent the last ten years (until buying a Palisade this past weekend) daily-driving a V8 Mustang, and the engine went above 3,000 RPM maybe once a month. There’s nothing wrong with driving a Ford Transit by yourself…

Have they changed the suspension tuning so that it’s actually drivable?

Not here in NYC.

You wouldn’t buy it because it’s a truck. If your truck doesn’t have the logo of your construction / landscaping company on the side of it, then people are making fun of you for driving around in a pickup truck. If you’re driving around in a pickup truck - any pickup truck - that’s not a work truck, everyone around…

I do not know a single person who owns a pickup truck that doesn’t have a logo for their construction / landscaping / whatever company on the side of it. Who in the world would willingly drive around in a pickup if they don’t have to? 

Best headlights are acetylene headlights, on most cars built before 1920.

I’m assuming it’s something like each of these, times two for up/down:

I know you call people like me out, specifically, multiple times in the article, but I just cannot fathom a vehicle like this. Pickup trucks are for people whose jobs require them to haul things around. If you’re driving a pickup truck and rarely / never using it for pickup truck things, you’re a poseur and people…

I’m on Long Island. Back in the 80's, they built a nuclear power plant on Long Island; cost $6 billion. Literally 3 months before it went online, Chernobyl happened, and people realized that it would be virtually impossible to evacuate 8 million people off this island in the event of a nuclear disaster, so the plant…

Like... where? I have to pay to park in a garage a 1/4 mile from my office that has no outlets. Fast charging stations are more expensive than home electricity.

Last tank of gas I bought was $3.87/ gallon.

I recently was in the market for a 3-row crossover. I’ve always bought American, but the Explorer and GM products had interiors that felt that U-Haul rentals, and the Grand Cherokee L when nicely equipped costs more than a house in Ohio. I ended up going with a Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy, and hooooo boy do I love…

His car collection eventually became a mental illness. So many amazing cars utterly destroyed by being left out in the jungle - you read stories of Ferrari F50s with the interior entirely melted from the heat and humidity. 

I thought that cars piping in fake engine noises through the audio system was the lamest thing I would ever hear from manufacturers, but alas.

Flying cars should never go EV. Never want to see your battery die at 5,000 feet.

Better question - when you buy a new car, they typically fill it with fuel before they hand it over to you. How... is this dealer gonna do that?

Tale as old as time: I wanted a minivan. My wife refused to get a minivan. Some things... aren’t worth the fight.

As a parent of two young kids, I knew it was time to break down and get a 3 row crossover... and since Kia Tellurides still have dealer markup here, I went with the Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy, because nothing else can really compete with it. 

The California Route One has always seemed like the sweet spot to me - long range battery, AWD, without the wasted power of the GT models - and seeing them going for less than $50k (with 0% financing?) seems like a great deal.

See that little lever between the seats? That’s your ticket to embarrassing Broncos and Wranglers all day long at Moab.
