Agreed.  Anything would look good going up against a pile of cow poo.

This explains why they normally snip them when the pigs are really young..

For once I agree with all 3 suggestions, with the only caveat being that if he goes with Kristen’s he’d better just buy 2.  He's going to want the spares..

I'd daily this in the spring and fall and my Sienna in the winter and summer..

Every man and woman should have the right to end the day by saying “I’m a clot and I ruined my car (phone/tractor/whatever).”

I think the 6 person board should be made exclusively of people from a small town in Kansas. This way, they won’t be influenced by all the whinging and just get on with it. Also, if it applied to literally everyone who enters NYC, it should be much cheaper easier to administer.

Actually,  I kind of like it too, I just feel like 10k is a bit too much, even for a pristine example..

They get nervous at the counter when you say "so I can bring it back in a bushel basket."

Isn’t the Ridgeline a unibody that doesn’t even pretend to be an off-roader? I ask because that’s the whole marketing focus of Jeep, even for models that are about as off-road ready as my Sienna.

That feels like FCA (and Chrysler before) in a nut shell.  Some hold up quite well,  some work but not well and some barely get off the dealer's lot before they crap out.  

To best of my knowledge, most new trucks right now are about/at least 10k too pricey..

While it isn’t going to do your weekend offroading/camping stuff very well, a Hyundai Sonata is amazingly roomy runs 10 grand or more less than these trucks..

I’ll admit I’d prefer to not have most of the features he listed on his Tacoma. I know I’m in the minority and most people would, I’m sad to admit, say their only beef with his truck’s spec is the manual transmission.

Well, now I can add one more thing to my wish list. I don’t care if it’s shit as a car, I still want one..

Also, barring a large increase in gas prices,  I think it'll take years before Americans get annoyed enough by high truck prices to stop buying them in ridiculously large numbers..

The whole truck price thing is why a small time farmer I know who needed a truck recently bought a used Honda Odyssey. Does everything he needs, has a stock covered cargo area and was much much less expensive than a used “truck”, since it’s not coveted by the masses..  

If I were closer to TX I'd be on my way there now..  the fact that it's got a little cosmetic damage is preferable,  I can have no end of fun with,  never feeling like I need to worry about damaging a pristine body..  and it holds down the admission price, also a good thing 

Exactly,  as long as it's not flood damaged,  it's an easy NP.

It'd make the commute a damn sight more entertaining at least.

As long as irritable old men like myself exist,  there'll be manuals.   We might at some point have to go all David Tracy on some crusher salvage,  but there'll be manuals damnit.
