I don’t see where she says she is currently living in Detroit.

My first thought for “unique, small...weird and different” was Juke. Haven’t driven one so not sure it fits the fun criteria.

Hmm...ignition switch. I have a 1969 Chevy K10 that just cut out while sitting at a stop light. Also likes to not start after turning it off, such as whilst getting gas. Anyone looking for a project truck?

I don’t what kind of lifestyle or where most of the commenters live, but there is no way we could get away with anything smaller than a crossover/small SUV with kids. Definitely not a 2 door. We have a baby on the way, and I’ve previously dealt with two kids...on top of all the other stuff that ends up in our Patriot…

Man, stolen vehicles are never the same. You know this thing flew over some railroad tracks and, no visible damage aside, is beat to shit. I wonder what constant Bentley dealer repair bills are like. No, actually, I don’t even care. CRACK PIPE.

So basically you’ve just exclude 95% of people. Kids, any sort of hobbies, loans.... Hell, it’s cool that a few people out there can afford a used super car. Easily for most people? Probably not. Agree to disagree I guess. I used $50k-$100k because $50k is a reasonable salary where I live. Figure that’s more like…

I’m curious what “mediocre money” is. If you’re the average adult making $50k-$100k/year, and have a mortgage, you’re not buying a used supercar. Hell you probably shouldn’t be buying anything over $50k regardless. Can you get a $50k used supercar? And then the maintenance...

What’s wrong with stickers?

“after possibly getting confused by the shifter in his Jeep.” If you are getting confused by the shifter, you have much bigger problems in life than operating a vehicle. Listen, I’ve driven the GC, yeah the shifter is odd, but it’s very simple: keep your foot on the brake until the car is in park. It’s not that hard.

I can’t disagree more with Jalopnik’s view of the Patriot. I get that this is an enthusiast site, and with regards to Truck Yeah, and Jeeps, geared towards, you know, actual trucks and capable Jeeps, but the Patriot has been a damn fine little SUV. I’ll just never understand the hate. The first Compass is truly ugly…

Holy shit...recently went away for a ski weekend, not as much as camping gear but still a bit. Plenty of room in my Patriot. Two friends are Cherokees. While looking much bigger from the outside, they are tiny inside, at least the rear. I mean there is not space whatsoever back there because of this fastback crossover…

This sucks, because I’ve loved the look of this car since the 350 came out. Too bad it sounds like the performance isn’t there.

Buy a bicycle. High school kids don’t need cars. Learn to appreciate borrowing the car when you need it. $10k, plus the insurance, gas, etc....come on kid.

Man, I actually don’t think it’s all that bad. Other than the hand/arm thing to the kid, it was just a bunch of delays. No one likes to be inconvenienced, but come on.

WTF did I just read? English please.

Gotta ask...why did you have a mountain bike on the highway?

That looks sourced from The Hunts album.

The FGL part is funny.

But then no one would see her exclusive car parked at the yoga studio.

I wouldn’t say paid off for years...She’s had it 6 years? Could just be getting paid off now/recently.
