I like manuals, but find them unnecessary nowadays. I get people that still want to row the gears, but I'd find it a chore on my daily commute.
What I'd like is if manufacturers would just make it so you can have manual when you want and auto any other time. I am not talking the current...
I plan on getting a Warthog. I have no intention of taking it offroad. About the only offroad it is going to see is hitting potholes at speed around Chicago or driving through my unplowed alley after a snow. It will be a daily driver family hauler.
I figure I might as well drive something...
I'm fine with the MIC gray top. I didn't see what all the fuss was about. My only complaint is the lack of the white top which really makes Broncos pop.
Filson makes nice stuff, but may be too hoity - toity for some folks as evidenced by the number of folks who haven't heard of the brand. It is pretty much a high end hipster brand now.
I'd kill to get that Filson interior as an option....
I'd be interested in some Carhartt treatment.
I really hoped they'd offer some plaids or something like that Filson interior. I love how the Icon Broncos use Chilwich on the seats.
At a minimum, I would have wanted a plain black or brown leather. They really over complicated it with the two tone stuff.
Ford really dropped the ball...
I will be trading a Jeep Grand Cherokee for a Bronco. The reality is that my JGC will probably be a better car all around for me. I have no intention whatsoever of off roading.
However, the JGC is too appliance like. It lacks soul. The bronco will have character.
The reality is that 99%...
Yes. That isn't the point though. The point is the screens do not age well in cars and the manufacturers are really bad at tech and keeping up with new developments.
To make matters worse, they've all but killed the aftermarket designing dashboards around a screen instead of a standard...
I really wish manufacturers would go back to analog and leave the screens out of the car or at least give us an option to not have it. All I care about is being able to stream music. The nav on phones work way better. These screens don't age well in cars and the manufacturers aren't going to...
Tire choice seems to make all the difference in the world to me... this looks great. However, some of the other 4 doors with less aggressive tread pattern look like the wheels are too small.
This is what I keep struggling with...
The 2 door looks great. However, I don't know if it is the angle of photo / tire selection or what but the four door always seems like the tires are too small even when they are 35s; especially compared to the build and price photos.
Every now and then I...
I am loving that concept vehicle. I am really torn. If I can get a badlands / wildtrak to look like the concept I'd be happy. However, I still have a little voice telling me to wait on the Warthog.
That rapid red 2 door looks great. It is really calling my name. I really like the 2 door, but I know with two kids the four door is way more practical.
It is an addictive hobby. Seriously, it is like crack. The engineering and tech in the cars is amazing. My race cars are 2wd / 4wd. Oil filled shocks, three diffs. You learn a lot about how cars are setup for optimal performance (camber, toe, diffs, roll center, etc). Really an amazing...
I decided to wait on the Warthog. Not crazy about the current build options and really would like a more powerful engine. I like the raptors but not in the market for a pickup truck. Mine is more of a family hauler.
I'm at that age where I want to buy what I want instead of compromising. I...
They are usually kits. You have to supply motor, ESC, batteries, radio / transmitter. Will need a decent set of RC tools as well. These aren't "toy grade" rc cars... you can spend well over $1000. There are some RTR kits or ready to race kits but the parts / durability usually aren't that...
47... married, two kids.
I've always liked off road trucks but never purchased one. I had a v8 Touareg and now a v8 GJC.
I want a vehicle that is a bit more rugged in looks and interior, but still has the modern features that make hauling a wife and kid around easy and safe. I also want a...
