I would say whatever I thought the previous owner wanted to hear.

When coasting in gear you aren’t wearing the clutch

It’s fine.  Less wear on the brakes.  Since the engine is running and oil is moving around you’re not causing any undue wear on the engine.  In my car the injectors shut off during engine braking so if I have a long time to decelerate I will let the car do the work.  Plus learning how to properly engine brake is a…

My dad always said “It’s cheaper to replace brake pads than a transmission. Use the brakes, that’s why they are there.”

But, this time, it’s different!

How many people bought these?

You realize this is actually just going to be a Hyundai Ridgeline, right?  Sorry to burst your bubble.  I agree a small, car-based RWD Ute would be amazing.  But this will be a midsize-large 4-door front-drive-based SUV with a tiny bed.

Well geez, it’s not like you’re going to gymkhana the thing. One of the best aspects of the Hallmark camper is its low profile when closed. I don’t think this would be egregiously ponderous around corners on normal driving.

I would wager the Borrego’s failure was less because of the styling and all because of the timing. You note how it was released in late 2008 but fail to mention that is also precisely when the economy tanked, gas prices started rising, and nobody wanted a real body-on-frame, truck-based SUV, with a beefy 4.6-liter V8.…

The Volt was the DVD/VCR combo of its time.

Bus Takedown! +200

Next they need to add some secret track shortcuts and takedown bonuses.

And this is why I don’t call them autonomous cars and I don’t want one. If it can’t take me home from the bar legally (or take a nap on my commute, or sleep in the car over the night while it drives me hours to someplace I want to be) what is the point. I don’t hate driving I just sometimes don’t want to drive. Having…

Hey speak for yourself.
I’m only banned from flying on certain airlines or to certain countries, and that might be most that you’ve heard of, but don’t judge me man.

Most Jalops don’t have passports or are on some sort of no fly lists.
