Not saying the NY dude shouldnt get a 4runner but his subies cant be beat in the snow w/a set of blizzaks by basically anything. My 13 year outback is one of the fastest cars in the world in the snow.

Neutral: were probably looking at 2022 before anything is “normal”. We have 330 million ppl in this country - getting a working vaccine to all of them will be a major chore in and of itself and htis country is no longer capable of doing big things well. 

After driving almost 500k miles on a variety of manuals over the decades i honestly couldnt care less anymore. I dont own sporty cars and as fewer and fewer ppl even know how to drive manuals its frustrating to run into situations where one might drop cars off at end points for a point to point hike and ppl cant even…

I agree with your first sentence, absolutely.

Merit has no role in accumulation of things/money. Meritocracy was the greatest lie the devil ever told, basically. 

Thats true.. and i have a 4x4 as well that is certainly used occasionally to run errands in or whatever. I mostly use my 13 year old Outback but sometimes i just want to drive the 4x4.

Living out here it really is remarkable how normalized Raptors, Rubicon’s, TRD Pros and assorted superduty trucks are as DDs.

Happy Birthday, Erik. Hope its fun!

right, other than raptors these sorts of trucks i do not see in teh back country. Theres a spot near the Utah border called Rabbit Valley and thats where youll see what you describe: ppl w/trucks like these towing their side by sides to the trailhead and then using their OHV/ORVs for the day. I mean..you can still tow…

I live out in far western CO and youre describing many of the ppl here. Tbf, a lot of ppl are out in teh back country w/their rigs but the amount of daily drivers like how you describe is really hilarious/sad. 

Rory, could you please rein in Tracy on these things? Its a bad “joke” and not remotely funny now. If it ever was.

this made me laugh, thank you.

Justin, agree w/this all around. This looks like a very nice SUV/CUV thing but where the hell is the phev version? Its 2020.. cmon Honda.

ok, take care. 

I am honestly very confused here by your insistence that you know what happened to me better than i know what happened to me.

You know..Nissan has treated me very well over the yeras but in their new vehicle lineup its real slim pickings. The 370z has its charms, the leaf has its uses, the frontier is a good, honest truck. Not sure what else is out there. Hopefully they get their shit together. 

tough but fair

Learn to read you dumb fuck. They hit me up. As in, they cold called me. I did not call them. 

They did indeed! 2015 was the last year they were made and given how the 4x4 market has only blown up more since then i bet Nissan wishes it had kept the xterra going.

Yeah, fair edit/correction.
