NYC roads are just wild Camry Ubers and rich-guy Escalades throttling and weaving at 50 mph through taxis going 20. You need the 6.6-liter to keep up, and to beat the pedestrians if you ever want to turn.

Benefit of the transit is it doesn’t look 25-years old. Benefit of this is 400 horsepower club.

I had an Express 3500 with the 6.0. Great engine, plenty of power and torque for most applications. 400+ HP is totally unnecessary. They really need to modernize this van, and the engine alone will not cut it. They need to completely modernize this thing with new styling and a modern interior. I now have a Transit,…

Now I’m torn between the Ecoboost equipped Transit, or this behemoth. Either way, van burnouts are in the future

This is completely pointless. Part of my family runs a big greenhouse business in Maine, and they have had a bunch of vans, which I have borrowed on numerous occasions when things needed to be moved. Even the ‘90s version of these with whatever wheezy V8 was standard at the time would basically smoke the tires for as…

You make many, many good points. Too bad no one bothered to script check Abrams/Terrio’s rubbish ideas.

Especially with the ending of the previous movie being that of a child inspired by the rebellion and that their actions, particularly Luke Skywalker’s return and final stand, might have set a fire in the hearts of allies around the galaxy as word catches. 

Honestly like, It’s totally believable if like, no one showed up in the 6 or so hours they had the beacon up on salt planet just because that’s just not enough time, it’s wild that afterward it’s just the same handful of people on jungle planet.

“It’s so cool that they’re bringing in Palpatine’s boss(?) after never mentioning him in any movies. So neat that he was just off-screen the entire time!”

Yes, that’s the most glaring issue with this purported version. But I think there are other issues with Rise of Skywalker that this version doesn’t have that still make it an improvement.

This thing we’ve never seen before could be fine if done right. Have to try and explain your way around how it wouldn’t invalidate the Rule of Two. Get around that and go nuts. Have him be outside the Rule of Two in some way.

But making this guy somewhat lovecraftian could work. An entity that works on much longer…

Yeah. I hate that Leia’s last pleas for the resistance falls on deaf ears, according to JJ. You couldn’t give her that? Just say that it worked. We see no indication that the Resistance is in shambles or falling apart or anything. Just say it worked.

One of the big problems I had with Rise is how Poe’s stupid plan hinges on the fleet of intergalactic never-before-seen rebels-in-hiding showing up right at the time of attack against Palpatine’s fleet. If this beacon in the Trevorrow script can explain some more robust reason for hoping this time-sensitive appearance…

“It’s dumb that they just brought back Palps after not mentioning him in either of the previous movies. Like we’re supposed to believe that he was like just off-screen the entire time.”

Parts of it sound cool, but I see a lot in the script that would enrage people regardless. And I don’t mean just the SW diehards that hated TLJ.

Hurray! You actually listened! A CO sh*tbox is far better than a midwest cr@pcan, yet the cost is the same. While the clearcoat will be nothing but chalk and the headlights opaque from the sun, I would not doubt that the exhaust is original and still 100%. My guess is that you will be able to do the clutch with little…

Gotta give him some credit—this is the first rust-free vehicle purchase he’s made in I don’t even know how long. Definitely worth a gold star.

eyeballing a 2 door fullsize Cherokee on CL for $1000. I am just fighting the urges. Jeeps are and addiction.

What was I supposed to do, turn down an $800 manual ZJ?!

Is that even possible?

(It’s worth mentioning that many ZJ diehards say the vehicle’s transmission failures are due entirely to owner neglect).
