um... why?

My Wrangler has A/C. It also has a soft top and half doors, and the bottom half comes off with 2 nuts a door. It also has a 4cyl engine, and the A/C saps 10mph off my top speed and makes me work the engine that much harder to get up to speed.

yeaaah there are never any Wranglers of any kind in there.

You should just wall off your yard and start charging $15 a head for a tour.

One of my favorite games, for nighttime road trips (and ONLY for passengers to play, don’t drive distracted kids) is to take a laser pointer and see if you can spotlight the road signs as you’re driving by. It’s harder than it sounds.

I know this is necroing an old post, but... I drive a 4cyl TJ with big-ass tires on it. It’s too slow to be able to catch up most of the time. The one time I did get road raged on was because someone couldn’t figure out that the left lane is for PASSING and not for GOING ALONG AT EXACTLY THE SAME SPEED AS THE CAR NEXT…

And yet, it’s still a Beetle.

Orange is an amazing color for a car. Have you not eyes? So’s green, the lime-er the better.

Like what? The solid axles made out of the tears of thousands of pretender offroaders? The brakes made out of... well, brakes? The transmissions? They don’t rust, at least not here in the sunny dry Southwest. Suspension, I guess, you might have a point. But proper maintenance takes care of that.

except for the Cayman, which is named for the place where all the money to buy them comes through.

there is no part of those that doesn’t sound appealing. Although, how is it possible to be both bacon flavored and vegetarian-friendly?

So... he should buy a jeep based on your own logic, simply because of the sheer volume of aftermarket parts and the bulletproof-ness of the 4.slow.

I don’t like this “wider track in the front” thing. It looks weird.

If these dealer surveys work anything like call center interaction surveys, they run off of Net Promoter Score (NPS). The gist of it is, the important question is “Would you recommend X to your friends?” and if you answer 1-6 (sometimes 1-7) you’re in the Detractor category (or negative NPS), 7-8 is usually Neutral…

they can print houses now in a reasonable amount of time, why not cars?

with unmanned missions carrying 3d printable materials and 3d printers, it could even be sent up as a set of filaments and printed in place to be assembled on site by either manned missions or remote control drones.

i’m stealing this so hard.

being from Nebraska originally and having gone back a few times (family reunions, vacations, etc) there are two things I would teach to all drivers in the state:

I quit playing Magic years ago due to power creep, and this is yet more evidence that I’m not missing anything.

people hang for treason, they don’t get prison.
