If we’re talking about dusting off an existing design and rebuilding it as it was (with necessary safety upgrades) than THE answer is The Jeep Cherokee XJ. Outside of the Wrangler, the Cherokee XJ is the quintessential Jeep.

I honestly wouldn’t care what I was making if I had a job there, I just couldn’t do that.

Really depends on if you want an appliance or a sculpture. “good passenger space and good aerodynamics” works on a prius, because no one even expects those to look good. But once you get above the $80k+ range for a performance oriented car, you expect a bit more effort in the design.

Now you’ve got me wanting to scour the local CL for a Saab.... Being a designer, I’m apparently supposed to have one anyway.

Dark days for Dodge....

I occasionally get job recruiters from NY asking me if I’d be interested in being there, but I’ll quickly browse Zillow in a 30 mile radius of their location. I thought moving from rural GA to suburban TN was bad (30% higher for housing).... Seeing NY suddenly makes it seem like a pretty good deal.

Unjalops.

Having a car will always be worth it.... Though I’m not convinced living in NY would be.

Beat me to it.

It’s hard to vet out idiots. Jiffy Lube has 2,200 stores. They may all be part of a corporation, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a lot of independent idiots working for them. That includes management.

Well, that’s the problem, if he was saying “go right”, they did.

Fair enough. I’ve seen some crazy multicam engines that have chains I wouldn’t want to tackle. A nice single cam pushrod engine’s one thing, not much to screw up. But then there’s engines like this

So the ones with the timing chain are worse? I’ve never owned a car with a timing belt, and have avoided a few I would have otherwise bought, just to not have to deal with having to swap them. Is it just that they are a bigger hassle to replace the gasket with the chain?

I don’t know if one exists already, but if not, we collectively need to develop a forensic car database. It needs to be extremely detailed with things such as wheel covers, tailights and other items that are normally left behind. It also needs a very well thought out filter system for identifying specific models.

If it doesn’t have the b-pillar, it’s a swinger. All the hardtops were swingers. I think all the pillar coupes ended in ‘69 and ‘70 introduced the Duster/Demon Coupes. There may have been sub-model variations of the Swinger that had additional names like what they did with the Duster and Dart Sport/Demon where they

It’s interesting what you hear sometimes about car brands that are supposed to be known for reliability and longevity. I love the idea of a Sub, just not sure it’s worth the complexity/cost.

Miss Stiggy....

Well, roof racks, roll overs and 1'+ snowfall.

Another possible title :Guy does not turn off electronic device.... Nothing happens.
