Guess you guys haven’t seen Ben Treynor’s orange P1 decked out with teeth in the grille for Halloween...

Really good harness + short seatbelt tether + carabiner + SUV cargo tie down = has been fairly safe for my dog so far without any accidents

I’d like to add an article to your constitutional amendment making it a federal crime for anyone selling a vehicle to check the wrong box under ‘transmission type’.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been enraged when I find a unicorn car with a manual trans in great condition on Autotrader, only to look at the…

I was on jury duty a few years ago in DC and we had to go through TSA-like security every time we went in the courthouse. The guards would ask me to take a sip of my drink every time I came back from lunch. Seems legit to me.

On the other hand, if I was bringing in poison to kill someone, I guess I’d have to take that…

So you’re saying that loose tweets no longer sink fleets??

The article and pictures give no size or relative scale of the vehicle. The shape and size look very similar to the BMW X6, which is an SUV (or SAV, stupid BMW...)

Right, but the training explicitly says that telling someone when a carrier is leaving the dock and what ports you’ll be stopping at on your cruise are huge no-no’s. But then the Navy does exactly that, basically broadcasting to the world every time a ship is in it’s most vulnerable state.

Since when has SUV meant body-on-frame construction? Nobody called my Cherokee a crossover. And after having a lifted one, then sitting in a stock height XJ, it might as well have been a ‘tall car with larger tires’.

Coulda fooled me with that ride height and side profile. They don’t give any indication of the size or class comparisons, so judging by the wheel size, it appears to be between the Q5 and Q7 in my eyes.

I tend to agree with you here. And working for the Navy, they make sure to reiterate that fact every year with a stupid, long OPSEC training course.
But then they post on FB every time a carrier or sub comes back into port, or arrives at a foreign port, or is near any sort of point of interest.

I’ll tell you exactly what happens. You max out your credit card getting the engine rebuilt. And you don’t skimp on it because the car already had an aftermarket built engine, so you might as well build it back to where it was, maybe even stronger. Then you start to hate the car because you’ve been dumping a ton of…

I’ve never had a bank question the price of a vehicle and I’ve bought almost 10 of them, new and used. Back in the day, I bought a 98 Cobra that was modded to hell for way over KBB. As long as I was approved for the amount I was paying, they didn’t care what car I was buying.

If I was buying a new car for MSRP and the…

As for the styling, I love it. Not the sportback shape, but the front end and interior design.

I don’t want my SUV to be electric. I want it to be able to carry a bunch of people and our gear (weight) and tow occasionally (more weight) and not all of a sudden only be able to go 100 miles between charges on my 500 mile trip.

I know I’m not in the majority with that use case, but I find it odd that Audi/VW…

You don’t mention the big reason to buy from the dealer: getting all the mods financed with your car. I can easily afford a $32k car and even more easily afford a $25k car, but I can’t just whip out $7k cash to drop on a turbo kit (or at least can’t convince my wife that’s a good idea...)

Man, this was really a “Put up a click-bait post about it and figure out the real details later” kinda story, eh?

The same can be said for the Jeep Grand Cherokee 8spd shifter...

The last flight I took was on American on a small 2x2 plane. When everyone finished boarding, all four exit row seats were empty. A couple that wasn’t seated together grabbed two of them and the other two were still empty after quite some time. The dude I was sitting next to (had a prosthetic leg, looked like a…

My last United flight was in Economy Plus and I enjoyed it much more than the previous flight in regular coach. The legroom gain was quite large and free booze was nice. The only reason I upgraded is because it was $60 extra, as opposed to $150 extra on the first flight.

My first thought upon seeing the truck cab: Stormtrooper head.
