By “our jalop friends” do you mean Tom and Ray Magliozzi?

You can learn more about where those came from in the documentary entitled Wild Wild West

Yeah, that’s exactly what I am saying.

Maybe I wasn’t direct enough in my original gracious reply, so I’ll restate what I’m trying to say this way: no one cares if you don’t like it. 

Everyone doesn’t have to like everything. It’s cool if you don’t care for it.

therefore never missing a second of the on-track action.

Electric motorcycles may not have the city efficiency and rural range of their gas-powered counterparts just yet

Torch, your line from prior seasons - I can’t remember if it was last year or 5 years ago - still randomly pops into my head from time to time. From memory, it was something like “once again, Christmas falls right in the middle of Honda Days this year”.

I felt a similar thing about Freddy too...his brand of TG banter just seems a touch too mean. Being a (former?) pro cricketer, I guess it makes sense. For what it’s worth, he does seem to dial it back in this new special, and his ribbing seems based in genuine affection for the other two and isn’t just baseless…

I miss Reid’s solo films and his bubbling enthusiasm for cars, but I agree; this current trio really seems to work.

I am usually pro-EVs and think that most of the range fears are unfounded, but an EV with 150 mile range and no more range extender option seems especially poorly fit to be a cab. 

I don’t think that’s the implication with the heated wipers. I think they’re for driving in freezing conditions where snow hits the windshield, melts thanks to the defroster, but then builds up on the blades because they’re colder than the warmed glass. No outside parking required or implied.

Agreed, and you clearly have more experience than me, but if you had both a brand new Wrangler and an interest in offroading, you could modify the owned Wrangler to fit your needs better than you could with an unmodifiable lease.

What’s the proper pattern for rotating 5 wheels? 

What good does suspension travel have to do with being stepped on? Are these monsters only gingerly putting their foot down a couple inches? The only thing increased travel gets you is an extra millisecond to contemplate your demise before the shocks pop and the roof crumples onto you.

Would you take your leased Wrangler off road, when you know that you would be charged for any and every bit of damage you give it?

Wait..I thought Michael Caine had died. Did I cross over into an alternate timeline recently?

Gotcha, thank you

I don’t know what bothers me more, the assumed down payment being rolled into the advertised price, or that they used the wrong “your” in the fine print.
