I’d also like to know if anyone bought a Jeep Compass, so I can laugh at them.

You're the voice of reason.

Great writeup, Tom.

Thanks to you and the crew for keeping us entertained (and sometimes even informed)!

That is a damn nice Firebird. Wow.

“I really need to build something -unusual- this time. But what should I use for parts?

Spikes come out and you die?

Well sure, but -you- have the talent to draw your -own- adorable yeti walking a hot dog around a snow globe. The rest of us could only dream...until today!

Wow. Once again, well said.

I wish I could give this more than one star.

“double oopsie!”

Had an X5 myself, and similar experience. Loved driving that thing, when it all worked. Which wasn't often.

Yes but El_Uly Sir, *you* are a monster! :-)

Clear and professional writeup Tyler. Thank you for your work as always, though I wish it wasn't such an awful occasion.

This neo-Nomad looked pretty nicely done:

Because really, it's fun when your car bends in the middle over bumps!

So, okay, there’s not really a Brat in there. Sorry. But there probably should be.

Oh that I only have one star to give.

They probably saved more than a few bucks per car by eliminating the urea tank, plumbing, etc. GM was willing to let people die over less than a dollar a car, it’s easy to imagine VW cheating on emissions to save $50 a car*.
