I bought a rental car (2010 Jeep Liberty), about 3 years old with 35,000 km on it. It still had factory warranty until the 5 year mark. Paid about 17k for it. I got another 4 years out of it before I traded it and got 7k on the trade. I thought that was pretty good.

A long time ago I had a Ford Ranger with a v6. I brought it in to Canadian Tire (ubiquitous Canadian automotive and hardware shop) to see why the engine light was on. They had a price list on the wall; electronic engine diagnosis - 4 cylinder $40, 6 cylinder $60, 8 cylinder $80. I tried to argue with the tech (counter…

A thumbnail sized piece of electrical tape over the light. That’s the correct fix.

The correct answer is Ranger.

Keep the top 3 on the list; get rid of everything else, and as a former Jalopnik writer says “wrench, every day”

Anybody look at that first picture and think “ that would be cool with drag slicks...”

I bought a truck in 2016. At the Toyota dealer, the salesman asked flat out if I wanted a big truck or a small one, with factory discounts on the Tundra, the price difference was only about a thousand between that and the Tacoma. If VW ever builds this truck, we’re (in Canada) looking not far off 50K. For reference,…

When I started working, one of my colleagues was a custom car builder. He had an unrestored (but running and in pretty good shape) ‘72 Beetle that he didn’t have room for in his garage. It sat in our work parking lot for a few months. He offered to me for 2k. I lived in an apartment with no space and no garage. Been…

I had a 2010 Liberty that I bought used in 2012. I used it for 4 years, and until the tranny leaked out all its oil in my driveway and the engine developed a knock that made my mechanic tell me to “trade this in, trade it in NOW!”, I really liked it. It was pretty capable off road for hunting and fishing, carried our…

The roof never leaks on sunny days.

I had one in Boring Tan, a four door. Bought it for about $600, it was already 20 years old. Used it to get back and forth to a summer job while I was in University. I cut and welded new rear shock hoops out of old angle iron bed frames and bolted them into the trunk. Learned how to drift on gravel roads in that car.

Agreed. Though every now and again a friend will say “Hey, your truck is Green!?” yup.

My truck is green; it’s just that nobody knows it. 2016 Ram 1500. Black Forest Green Pearl. You can see the green in bright sunlight, especially if the truck is wet, but most people just think it’s black. Looks awesome when the sun catches it just right though.

In Canada you can’t own land within 30 ft of the high tide line. Lots of beachfront property owner abuse it, citing privilege, but the gov’t owns the coastline.

My Dad calls all SUV’s “vans”.

Needs a set of chrome headers coming out from the side of the hood and diving down into the fenders.

My God! Think of the Jeep parts you can fit in the back of that thing! And hoon them all the way home!
