“We look at, how does the car work together,” some random aftermarket tuner said. “What is the chassis balance, what is the powertrain for that, and where we landed on that—900hp 2Jz swap provides us with the best combination of vehicle power and acceleration to the weight and chassis.”

Damn Lenovo!
There they go, listening to their customers, when they should have been listening to a blogger.

Its frustrating to be sure, but towing these trucks out of the way is just going to result in violence. The kind of bro-truck, redneck mentality that leads to them ICE-ing, comes with a hearty helping of macho posturing as well. 

Now compare it to your XJ.

He’s using his calipers wrong.

I simultaneously love and hate that brush guard. There’s just something uncanny valley about it.

My engine drinks premium Meijer brand motor oil and that’s that!

Oh boy, more fuel economy ratings for a turbo gas engine that are impossible to duplicate in real world driving.

Unpopular opinion incoming:

Ram knocked it out of the park with their “classy-butch” styling inside and out. Not surprised they are flying off of lots.  Poor Chevy and their new 2500HD models.  They took a BIG leap and I am not sure it will pay off.  I expect a total face lift for 2022.  Good on Ram though, they are making some nice looking…

You've set up a stupid false dichotomy then.

What concerns me is the filtering, K&N’s have shown in quite a few test to allow more particulate matter into a motor than the OEM paper element.

I mean basic painted steel wheels, skinny tires and a handy tie down system for my goats. What more could a guy want? 

I seat eight the way an Indian passenger train seats 800,000; with many hanging off and perilously close to death.

Not necessarily. I am giant and ugly and I am not a winner here in America. 

This thing is about $1/gal and 1 recession away from being another Kia Borrego.

A car that isn’t in a crash costs nothing to repair.

I'm not wild about some of the things he's done, but he's always been interesting. Get well soon, Sergio.

And who did his actions hurt?  No one but your fragile ego, apparently.
