I mean, he’s not 100% wrong. I wouldn’t call Toriyama’s work bland or uninspired but damned if you can’t spot his art style from orbit. For instance, that one girl was totally riding Bulma’s Capsule Corp bike with the serial numbers filed off.
 
That said, I’ve read a decent chunk of the source, and it looks like a…

Exactly. I had a few decent RC cars back in the day. Straightcut the gears and just let the mechanicals shriek. Easy, easy audible branding for a performance brand. The youngs will associate the noise with the Charger and the olds think of the Muncie rockcrusher. No other EV does this forwards. . . but hear me out. My…

Only if it shows up with a third pedal.
 
That said, I’m giving them the golf clap. It’d be a tough call between something like that and A. regretting life and buying a nice E92 M3 or B. reliving the past and finding a clean Pontiac <coughHoldenMonarocough> GTO.

Now if only it was a better looking car. . .
 
I mean, I’m no fan of the beaver grill of the M3/4 but the weird mish-mosh of random squared-off angles and soft-curves in the M2 certainly isn’t winning that car any beauty contests even against its rightfully derided kin. Also, I can’t believe BMW basically ceded the…

My wife and I have an NA6 that we bought around a year ago. I find it funny that no one in the latest Jalopnik fleet report that had any generation of Miata.

Waaaaah.

All my shit except for Big Truck (a 2500HD Silverado) has a stick. I’ve bought a NEW manual Renegade and a manual GTO ne’ Holden. I’ve put my money where…

I mean, technically they own the corpse of the company that published it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_v._Ford_Motor_Co.

Here’s the thing: someone once asked Lewis Hamilton why his Zonda has a manual transmission, and his comment to was something to the effect of his company car was an automatic and why would he want that when he’s driving for fun.

I mean, I’ll play this game just because I’ve seen both of these come up multiple times in various sources. Seriously, get those pudgy fingers out of the Pringles can and over to the Googler.

Child support.

Since I would rather not interact with that deluded fool directly. . .

“betas”

Dear sweet Jesus.

Interesting. I presumed the ZF9 HP dictated the rest of the driveline hardware. Did GKN crib some homework from Active Drive I, because maybe that’s where my confusion comes in as that sounds like it behaves around the same as the Rennie’s AWD. I’d be curious to see if Active Drive II or Lock could be grafted onto a…

I’d have to double-check because Jeep calls everything “Active-Drive,” but the Renegade has more or less the same hardware as a consequence of using the same transmission. (The Trailhawk doubly so.) IIRC, the ZF9 HP in the Cherokee just has a better crawl ratio in its “low” gear.

This leads into what I think is…

Time to go pour own out.

I bought the correct version of the Renegade in 2015 and still have it in year of our lord 2023. That toaster has probably been the most reliable, problem free new car I’ve ever owned. It’s amazing yet unsurprising how Stellantis fucked this one up.

Yup, exactly what I was referencing.

IIRC, having a hooptie implies you also have a nice car, e.g. the hooptie is what you drive when the Benz is in the shop. Beater carries the same connotations. I kinda get the feeling a cigarette car is their only car.

Which is why we knew to buy our Toaster with the stick, because the ZF 9HP was a known shitshow from the KL Cherokee. It was always funny when a dealer tech would see the clutch pedal and tell us we bought the right one.

Not any form of emergency personal but correct me if I’m wrong. . .

I’m presuming the tools also operate at a measured pace because it’s probably a bad idea to blast a big chunk of trim at the victims, right?

Manual swap and respray. NP.
 
Then go insane, because IIRC there’s a one in three chance that replacement windscreen is that right factory tint.

“his right front ballpoint”

Bic certainly is not what it used to be.

If it ain’t armed with a six-tube SRM launcher and a particle projection cannon, I ain’t interested. . .
