    Subaru Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter. 

    “This is without a doubt, the worst car I have ever owned or will ever own in my lifetime.” -My Dad, 2 months after buying a TR-7 brand new off the lot.

    Sometimes, and bear with me here, shade is provided by these things called “trees”. Within trees there live a host of “things” that endeavor to wreck the finish on whatever is unlucky enough to park beneath them.

    As a society that somewhat glorifies treating rental cars like the fastest cars in the world, is anyone really surprised?

    I was going to reply “challenge accepted” but I like your response better.

    And it varies greatly too between 4Runners. I used to brag about how my (stock 4x4 V6 auto) 3rd gen averaged 23 MPG round trip from LA to Fresno, or Vegas or Big Bear. I sold that one and the next one I bought a few years later I still drive daily & I’m lucky if I get 200 miles on a tank of gas, worse in the winter.

    TIL that a 707 hp Hellcat gets the same city MPG as my 183 hp 4Runner does on the highway.

    How to beat July 4th traffic, step 1: don’t live in the United States.

    first thing I did was ctrl+f and type “saab”. No results found. But they have one of these?

    Thanks! Man that must be a tank w/the snows on it. Our 5th gen doesn’t feel all that light on it’s feet compared to the 3rd gen but surprisingly even with garbage road-oriented tires on it, it’ll hold its own on the trails locally.

    Hahaha we also have a 5th gen TE and a 3rd gen. Well 2x 3rd gens. Hold on to that 3rd gen as long as you can. They’re a blast! Do you have the rear locker in yours?

    Toyota could slap a 4Runner badge on almost anything with wheels and people would buy it... I say this as the owner of 3 4Runners at the moment.

    ...and we let strangers from the aforementioned bookseller into our homes and automobiles to deliver packages.

    Don’t forget that a bookseller is #2 in the space race.

    I did when the V90 started shipping. Both dealer & corporate customer care said “no”. I’ll try again.

    Holy crap, this has been bothering me since that generation Rogue came out. There are dozens of us. DOZENS! Wife & I theorized that it had something to do w/AWD vs FWD versions, as the FWD versions didn’t appear to have one (that is an entirely non-scientific observation, more of a correlation than anything else).

    OK so I live in the “great Volvo Desert” of middle America. The nearest Volvo dealership is 120 miles from here, and the next closest is 210 miles away.
