Couldn’t agree more. We have friends with a Subaru and every time we go camping I end up hauling some of their stuff home at the end of the weekend. Everything fits, but just barely and I don’t have the patience to watch them play jenga so I grab some stuff and throw it in my truck.

The front end being light at speed is due to aero.  I cut a hole in my hood and it fixed the issue instantly.  

Most mid sized SUVs are just wagons.  In Montana there are a ton of slightly lifted Outbacks and 4 Runners, they tend to be the happy medium.  I am personally looking at old Astrovans and full sized vans.  Both can easily be lifted and create what I feel is the perfect vehicle for our family. 

100% agree.  I drive an F150 in large part because it has ground clearance and I can fit all our camping stuff in it.  Living in Montana you really appreciate being able to navigate a dirt road that turns into an off road course without warning.  

F1 should just trade Red Bull for their TV platform. It works great and they already know each other.

I owned a unicorn and it was wonderful. An E46 wagon with a stick and the sports handling package. The prior owner lived 2 houses away and had every record from the day he bought it. It was magical, perfect amount of room for my family and just the perfect balance of comfort and engagement.

This is the wonderful stuff I love to see.  Ooo and a taillight article?  My goodness it is almost like Jalopnik knows it is my birthday this week.  

Maybe this is why the Confederacy lost, nobody knew if they were coming or going.

Feels lazy to me. Plenty of pictures of Montana out there.

I drive a full sized truck. My hack is curbs are irrelevant and grass is just as good as pavement. I will park on the little grass islands, when I return at least one other truck owner has followed my lead.  

Montanan here, the header pic isn’t Montana doesn’t even look like America.

No worries, I am currently performing at a keyboard in Montana :)

A friendly reminder, this money isn’t just appearing. We are all going to have to pay this back at some point. Of course they could just raise taxes on the big businesses, but remember they just raise their prices to pay their taxes.

Feels like a win-win here. Heavier vehicle would use more fuel thus generating more gas tax to fix the roads, BUT not if you use electric to power it!!!

Dude, do not touch these electric vehicles they are all shocking!!! <- electrical shock joke.

Yes, as long as I have an opportunity to drive a test vehicle. I would actually prefer a common test vehicle that has been beat on by others. If the test car had 15-20K miles that tells me more about the vehicle than driving one with 100 delivery miles.

Doug says they never combined the SC, manual, and all wheel drive. This one is NA and rear wheel drive.  

Rumor has it Toyota sold a handful of manual, all wheel drive, super charged Previas.  If I could find one I would add a small lift kit and drive it till it died. 

After driving for a while the size of the speedo wasn’t an issue right?  I ask because I am planning a very similar setup in my Fiero.  Small tablet linked to the computer with a simple small screen that will change if any parameters go out of line.  

I would like to say, this website drove more thought for me yesterday than in the prior 10 years. I likely have rose colored glasses, but it feels like the eco promotion and political stuff has become much more overt. I remember people pulling a phrase out of a long article and being upset about politics invading. Now…
