I don’t know if the sales figures indicate it, but I see Gladiators absolutely everywhere where I am. Then again, there are 5 Jeep/Ram dealers here, in an area of 300k residents. No other brand is represented by more than 2 dealers here.

I agree, sell the Jeep now while the market is still hot for them.

That is good. The haptic buttons in the ATS are the worst interface I’ve utilized.

This was an interesting perspective. Having driven several ATS’s including my friend’s ATS with the excellent V6, I can say that it’s one the best chassis out there. The only car I’ve driven that felt better and sharper is an old BMW e36 M3. That said, the interior of the Cadillac is a big downgrade in usability and…

I test drove an i3 and was impressed with the acceleration. I swear it felt quicker to 40mph than the e39 M5 I was daily driving at the time. However I could not get over the overly aggressive regenerative breaking, it was so severe that it gave me a case of vertigo that lasted two weeks. No other car including…

I’ve always thought the 00-10s interiors on Jeeps were a terrible downgrade compared to the 80s and 90s interiors.  My parents had a 97 Grand Cherokee Limited, it had very nice controls, the fit and finish was top notch, and the seats were super comfortable compared to the 18 Grand Cherokee Limited they replaced it…

The local highway patrol had a black Magnum. It always struck me as perfect and menacing.   They must of used it for 10 years.

Im familiar with the sunburn. Bought an e36 328is in Fairfax, VA and drove it back to Erie, PA with no ac. Had the sun roof and Windows open the whole way, got some wicked sunburn.

I have a question. Why is AWD associated with safety? 

You know what I really like? The interiors on all of my pre 2000 cars. Every single control, I can use with minimal distraction or even without looking towards it at all. Particularly the wiper controls, I know exactly where to grab for the switch gear, even the wiper toggle on the far other side of the dashboard on…

The right way to do the floating roof is the first gen Taurus, early 90s Oldsmoblie Cutlass or 90s Oldsmoblie Eighty Eight.   It's a cool look, the 90s did it better than today because they used more glass that was nicely curved.

I understand and respect your take. But what is has mostly confirmed to me is why I don’t like big cities. I’ve visited many, the novelty wears off in about 12 hours for me.

The paint on my 90S era BMWs are incredible.  The paint in my 13 Mini was atrocious, thin and flaking off.  BMW lost something in their pant technology to n the decade between those cars.

Strange, my 58 year old car is the one that I always count on to run. I’ve been dailying it for 4 weeks straight with zero issues.  Which is better than I can say for every one who owns a car that was built in the last 5 years.

You sound a lot like me. My current fleet is.

To me this sounds like an aggressively loaded straight cut gear box. I get the same sound out of first gear in my Austin Healey Sprite, just not as insanely loud, because it’s only pushing 65 lb-ft of torque through it.

Id actually pay more for this old Bronco than a new one.  I like the new one, they are cool, but this one is spot on what I want in an SUV.  Would I pay $30k, no, but $15k all day long.

I have driven both off road, and I had a lot more fun with the manual. It’s no different than driving on on road, the manual gives more control over the vehicle and hence more things to do, making it more engaging. A crawler ratio with a manual is just as effective as a torque converter auto over crawling situations.…

Ive done a couple journey vacations. The best by far was showing up in LA with money to buy a random Craigslist vehicle, and then road trip it home to PA in 9 days. It was me and 7 friends. We only found one vehicle worth buying, a Jeep Comanche. We had an epic time driving it home and rented a Yukon to get everyone…
