So I hear you on the idea of “buy a new one to show continuous demand” but I’ll poke a few holes in the theory...

Congrats - they are fabulous tow vehicles. I’m about to list mine for sale because I just don’t drive it anymore... but it’s been the best “single do it all” type of car I’ve ever owned. I’ll miss it greatly.

Keyless start only works with the fob physically inside the car.

Fun fact: this manual transmission was also used in the 2004-2006 Jeep Wrangler. It’s “fine” though I wouldn’t call it “great” necessarily.

I’ll be pedantic since you are, too. The photo you shared is an L320 Range Rover Sport whereas the three vehicles posted questioning your logic feature a full-size L322 Range Rover. The only BOF option of the three (Cherokee, Astro, L322) is the Astro van, the Cherokee and Range Rover are both irrefutably fantastic…

Yep, Miatas are tough for tall people in helmets unless you do all the floor-cutting you mentioned. I dealt with the same issue and moved over to BMWs. Been a great 8.5 years with those instead.

The best way to avoid this kind of traffic is to support a locally-owned chicken place that serves tastier food, is likely owned by a member of your local area, and doesn’t publicly, proudly discriminate against the LGBTQ community.

The answer that *nobody has said yet* is to buy the 86/BRZ that she says she wants, and budget $4,000 for one season of High Performance Driver Education with Eva’s local region of NASA. Go a few years old - the outgoing cars are nearly as good as the new ones - and leave money to learn to drive faster and safer.

What’s even MORE fun is that these people rented a local racetrack (Dominion Raceway) and the racetrack shared a video welcoming the drivers to their facility, complete with Confederate flag stuck to the fencing. I emailed the track’s owner asking for more info and got a non-response.

I’m hoping to get Victoria to come hang/drive with us! TBD. But she’s a fabulous writer. That series is great, and she also wrote this on our site that was, IMO, exceptional:

Can’t wait to see you there - hope you can make it to both events :-) 

At the time he owned one (1) Jeep Cherokee - that maroon one - and it was a rust-free example. He may have stood too close to my spray-painted BMW 325e (with keys broken off in every lock and every fluid container leaking) that it wore off on him.

Aw, now you’re making me blush.

That’s Topaz Blue, Estoril was never offered on the E53 and is way brighter.

Congrats, looking forward to reading your work! 

The Chrysler LX cars do not share a platform with the Mercedes W210. They share some suspension pieces and switchgear but are on their own platform.

Find new friends.

Sorry but... they’re pretty bad.

I made $5,000 after owning my 2016 Ram 1500 Sport for two years and driving it for 10,000 miles.

Robb - this is fantastic to see! We are trying to do something similar, albeit entirely at the grassroots/amateur level, for LGBT+ folks with Out Motorsports. Would be very interested in chatting and seeing how we could partner up in some way to advance both forms of diversity. I’ll figure out how to email you.
