I’m torn. On one hand, OBVIOUSLY yes, it’s a CJ in all but name and number of grille slats. On the other hand, FCA doesn’t make CJ’s. And since these are (supposed to be) off-road only, it’s not like the Roxors are stealing any measurable number of sales.

Maybe they ran the reverse lights as always-on red lights (like rear fogs) since a postal vehicle would always be stopping house to house?

Seriously, have you considered moving?

Waaay back in 1990, I designed a personal commuter trike that - though I was working with some smart people on development - never got past the model stage. (Back in the ‘70s, I really really wanted to design cars for a living... yeah, that didn’t happen either!) But the relevance here is that I proposed that it would…

I live in Albany, NY, where for some reason Maserati opened up a dealership three years ago. People are starting to dump them, and we now have Maseratis at shady buy-here/pay-here lots, and they are showing up in the hands of some truly remarkable owners. People who just have absolutely no idea what they’re in for. 

That’s your reason?

Until I actually see one, I am leaving the midengine Corvette on the top of my list.

I sort of think they may be on to something. My neighbors buy trucks not because they need them but because they are fashion statements. Often, garish fashion statements with big diamond plate bumpers styled to look like push bars from a stealth fighter.

9km bullets!?! Holy shit!! I guess giant asteroids are no longer a threat to humanity then.

There is a phenomenon in certain types of glass called ‘bumping’. It is well known in laboratory equipment, and can be quite dangerous with containers holding hazardous materials.

An anecdote is not data, but I’ve seen a few fourth gens that suggested some...questionable build quality. A buddy of mine’s parents bought one as an anniversary present to themselves. Convertible, all options—I think maybe a Cobra edition, too? I took a ride in it and liked it well enough. They’d had it for two days,…

In time, all those ‘Stangs will be drawn to rural eastern Indiana to die. I don’t know what it is about the area, but when I’ve driven through, it seems like every other house, farm, trailer park, or apartment building has at least one or two in various stages of decay. It’s like a Bermuda Triangle for Mustang with…

One step closer to ‘Idiocracy’ coming to fruition.

Just picked up a 99' Corolla for winter abuse. Came with GSR fat fives. That’s 15" wheels bro. It was once the most stolen wheelspin my area. Now everybody wants 18". I'm good with these. 

Exactly. If you can pull completely off the road into a parking lot or something, that’s fine, but never change a tire in the shoulder of the highway. Call AAA or drive to the nearest tire shop on the rim.  It’s cheaper than your life.

I get my automotive advice from rappers, my health advice from actors and fashion tips from guys who are paid to play children’s games. The media entertainment industry is a treasure trove of intelligence.

Well said. I have no inclination or guilt to even consider a Ford or GM product, though I have driven and liked their products overseas. I don’t have a need for $50K for an SUV, nor do I need one. Instead, I will actually take my 20 year old Montero off road camping and complete my errands in a 20 year old VW, all with…

So Aaron, in your mistake free life lived in a beautiful crystal palace, remind us all again, what you have produced other than hot air? Did you produce aeroplanes that let us visit places otherwise out of reach, a way to finally break free of the taxi monopoly, millions of cars that help families live comfortable…

Petroleum, yes, but this is all politics. Talk to me about octane!   Get this site back to pretty cars and women all over them and talk about “tire strategy.” No more CAFE standards or that damn liberal Union negotiation strategy. Just CARS!

How about the mistake of buying a series of websites and then somehow through complete incompetence and malice flushed their popularity down the toilet?
