You’re a goddam poet Morris. 

Dammit.  Now you’ve gone and ruined calamari for me. 

Boxed wine can be great.  I love David just the way he is.

I know this is going to come as a strange concept to you, but this is what some of us would refer to as a “reliable daily driver.” Hear me out for a moment, because I think I may help you see the light...

“well cared for enthusiast owned” being put up for sale in the most appalling of conditions, not bothering to spend an afternoon washing and barring it down, vacuuming the inside and having Christmas in July on the dash as visible in the pictures?

His house, then use the proceeds to buy a place without an HOA?

Is this a local or regional thing?  We have plenty of Jeeps around here, but none that advertise blue-lives-matter, Trump, or confederate flags.  In fact, lately they seem to be all owned by women that deck them out in $20,000 worth of accessories to go on a safari, but would shriek if actual dirt touched them. 

I don’t always agree with you, but I’ve driven a couple Boxsters and they are so nice. Great balance, good go. The engine is smooth and it doesn’t set your teeth on edge when you’re pressing it or highway cruising like an I4. And it makes that fantastic, growly, trumpety noise. If you want to drive purely for the joy…

It’s a used Audi, so it’s more or less automatically CP. Then you remember that you can get a B7 with a 2.0TFSI and throw less than a grand at a tune and get 250hp and it seals it.

I mean, awesome work by the builder. I can’t imagine how much time and effort it took to get this together. However, I must ask the question “WHY” other than just a really masochistic challenge.

There’s a lot of interesting VW engine choices I’d like to see swapped in to a A4. The 2.7t is definitely not one of them. 

I mean if I was retired owned a 2 post lift, the entire contents of a Snap On truck, 50 years of mechanical knowledge (and not the shitty Scotty Kilmer kind) and truly hated the sight of my spouse or family then yeah I could totally see this in my garage.

So what we have here is a fancy new way to pile more stuff on top of an SUV in order to overland all the way to work during the week, and to the mall on the weekends? Can’t wait to see some gas tanks and Hi-Lift jacks mounted way up high for the daily commute.

The Wrangler is a license for FCA (excuse me, Stellantis) to print money. There’s a waiting list for used ones. It’s the 4 wheel counterpart to a Harley, a cosplaymobile (for most buyers, let’s be honest). The accessories the parts dept. can sell are more profitable than the whole Fiat lineup.

C’mon Jalopnik, I know that ads are how you stay in business, but it’s getting to the point that the site is becoming completely unreadable without an ad blocker.

When I’m looking for a winter driver, I look for something that can be driven in the most brainless, easy way possible. A car that desperately wants to go exactly where I’m pointing it, and one that is resistant to getting out of sorts.

DD is legit. They put a lot of design work and thought into their lights. My SL1's are the best. Period.

This is right. Why?

FTFY: 

The Diode Dynamics SL1 LED bulbs are probably some of the best out there - and you certainly pay for it. They’re designed to work just as the factory lights did, except a lot, lot brighter.
