I'll be showing my place in the minority here, but I actually do like the look of the Countryman. I wouldn't buy one myself, but I do like it.

I'll go the opposite route of everybody else. Its fun to drive handles great and gets nearly 40mpg all for less than most newer used cars go for. Plus being new it'll be issue free for a long time.

What smells like a steak and seats 35?

Just like this...

Hahaha. Two things: one, we ARE very close to the dealer, though this was purely by chance, and two, the car is starting to do the thing where it raises and lowers at stop lights, which suggests to me that the OTHER corner air suspension is about to fail. So stay tuned.

stay your tongue, the 20 spoke wheels are gorgeous.

These are quite nice. 26,000 miles less for a bit more on Hemmings.

42/10, would own.

All this stupid traffic? Thanks a lot, me.

In fact, forget the chargers!

lol. This is the conversation all the jalops are having after this was crosslinked.

He's the POTUS! As a senior Marine I was surprised if senior leader ship, SecDef, SecNav even acknowledged that I was there let alone POTUS. I am required to salute him, he is not required to return the salute, period.

For me it will all come down to looks. With all the aftermarket support for both companies these days it won't be all that difficult to bring it up to whatever power/hadling I require, IF I need to.

So many layers of insult in that quote. I have a new respect for del vecchio.

This is the first vehicle that came to mind when I heard the question.

"impractical and uncomfortable enough that you'll probably be forced to sell it when you settle down"

And that is why I now have an E39 540i for a daily drive instead of a Wrangler.
