This was my first thought. I considered a Maverick when last year I realized that I really needed a truck in my life. However when I looked at the specs and how large it actually was, I realized what I actually wanted was an old single cab truck. Ended up with a Jeep Comanche with a 6ft bed, 1600 lb payload and 4000…

Jeep has done the same thing BMW did, build a stellar reputation in the 80s, 90s, 00s and since then, they have just been using their old reputation tokens.

I think the Prius is the best looking new vehicle on the market today.  Toyota knocked it out of the park.  Both the front end and rear end are brilliant, even the side profile is good for what counts for automotive styling today.

I’m trying the Sumitomo on my e36 M3 this winter, I’m really looking forward to trying them out.

I once backed my card into the driveway on the snow with Pilot Super Sports.  It made it one foot out of the garage on flat ground and got stuck.  Had to push it back in.  And that was a car with an LSD, two wheels wouldn't make it move.

I’ve run Blizzaks on a few cars, the new tire performance is great but the shine quickly wears off and have very poor performance after about 3/32 of the tread wears off. No other winter tire have I found wears so fast. I generally look for the tires that have the blockiest tread patterns, not the ones with the soft…

I live in Erie, PA, solidly snow belt country. I keep the winter tires on separate wheels in the loft of my barn. Many people put them in their basement or pay a tire shop to store them.

Generally diesel fuel is very stable, a lot more so than modern gasoline with ethanol mixed in. Once you get through the little bit of sludge that might be in the fuel filter, it will most likely run fine.

I own a single cab short bed (6ft) Jeep Comanche, it’s the perfect truck for my needs and I use it weekly as a truck to haul stuff.

I have used sliders that work well but it’s in my 1990 Jeep and has a big chunky plastic piece that’s easy to find by touch and physical detents that are easy to use. Works for both temp control and placement control.

I like the way you spec things.  I'd have a 2 door Wrangler, stick shift with basically no options except heated seats.  However I don't really need a Wrangler as I have a 90 Comanche with the 4.0L, stick shift and AC.  It's the perfect truck, and yes I have plans to install heated seats and make it look factory.

I’d own a Suzuki Jimmy tomorrow if they brought it here.

Alfa Romeo 4C.  Myself and many others would have purchased one if it was offered with a manual.  The whole point of the 4C was driver engagement as it had a manual steering rack just for that.

I’ve seen two of these, a red one just like in the lead picture here in town. The other a white one in Kingman, Arizona which I had parked my recently acquired Jeep Comanche next to in nearly identical color scheme.  

Driving a manual is about engagement, not performance. The only place where I find driving a manual a significant advantage over an auto is on snowy hills, one doesn’t get unexpected torque surges that break traction. I also like towing heavy loads with a manual because it makes me feel like a big truck driver, it is…

I drove a manual Supra at an autocross, the owner ordered it immediately when manuals became available.  He was all set to buy a Nissan Z as he is the biggest Z fanboy, but he definitely held the Supra with a manual over the Z.  My only two thoughts were, it felt a lot like a turbo BMw, which isn't a bad thing, and it…

You don't really need that sort of performance.  Heck, I have a 99 BMW M3, 0-60 in about 5.6 seconds, purchase price was $8,000.  Even at the roughly $0.50 per mile it cost me to fuel, insure, and maintain it, I'll never come close to breaking even on a $50,000 EV.  I bet the cost to drive the EV per mile is actually…

I own 5 cars, 4 of them are road legal.

Prices sure have gone up since I sold my highly desirable 2002 M5 in LeMans Blue over Caramel extended leather. I sold it in 2016 with 116k miles for $16.9k, though I did disclose that the LSD needed to be rebuilt. It would easily have been worth $30k today. I think this is a decent deal.

Ford has always been the auto manufacturer I trust most with their investments. They were savvy enough to avoid bail outs in 2008. They would not lower the price of the F150 unless they had a vision. Most of the big investors don’t have a long term vision and only care about instant gratification profits. I’m looking…
