I'm sure they'll have puddle lamps with my little pony silhouettes on the cold weather package for $10k. Just kidding, maybe.

When I started reading this thread, I didn't realize it was from 2019. Glad I bought my jeep in 2015. :ROFLMAO: I did a bit of rock crawling and 30 miles offroad over the weekend. Running over stuff is fun.

When I bought my 2020 Subaru STI brand new (first new subaru), I didn't go for the extended warranties either. The finance guy got all "the touch screen, though" to which I responded, I thought subarus were reliable? I've always had good luck with them at least. The STI doesn't have any whizz...

I never said I wanted pushrod anything. I'm just not a fan of of all these features that die with an electronic module. I realize I'm not the typical consumer. I will not sign up for an 84 month car loan, and I actually rock crawl.

This GOAT mode reminds me of my neighbor's Ram 1500 with the air suspension. He got a quote to lift it for 35" tires. $2500 kit and $1000 labor. That price wasn't really that bad in my mind, but I still prefer lockers and manual control of everything. Keep it simple stupid. Ford is not a...

I often wave in my jeep and more than I'd like to admit, when they don't wave back, I curse at the other jeeper. Such a rollercoaster of emotions. I'm also on my third STI. I bought the first two used. My 2020 is my first new one. The subaru love is there, but I have not witnessed it near...

If you all remember the Focus RS, that was a disappointment that went into limp mode when it calculated the rear diff was overheating. Lots of these new cars don't have sensors. The computer calculates temps based on speed, load, etc. If the bronco is the same way, swapping out parts or adding...

I have been driving a jeep daily for about six years. I think the number of four door drivers who are unaware of the wave have definitely reduced the practice. I usually wave first. I also ride motorcycles, and most riders wave. Some cruisers don't wave to other types of bikes, and some are...

I'm generally not a fan of overpriced nostalgic cars, so the only special mustang I've ever owned was a 2003 Cobra. It was $32k sitting next to $40k+ Saleen mustangs that were just centrifugal supercharged GTs with body kits. The Cobra had forged internals and a cleaner look with a good daily...

I don't drive manuals because it's fun or nostalgic. I drive them because I want control of the vehicle. I want control over lockup all the time. Most people don't seem to care, but some of us do.

My paid for $30k rubicon wrangler drives better and better the more I read this thread. I want to retire before I'm dead more than I want a bronco.

Just watch a Jeep Gladiator video and how their spare does offroad. It hits a lot of stuff. The tailgate swinging out to the curb takes some getting used to. It's easy to smash it into an attached trailer (my neighbor did this to his wrangler). I have a soft top wrangler, so my rear window...

+1 on the LOL.

I wear N95 masks to protect myself, just like when I'm cutting concrete. If you think it does nothing to prevent particulate or droplets from getting into my respiratory track, I don't know what to tell you. I would agree that the chick-fil-a worker wearing a cloth mask on their chin isn't...

When I go between a couple grocery stores and Walmart looking for toilet paper, the last thing I want to do is cross contaminate more by taking the mask on and off and having to clean my hands again and again. You'll see me alone in my car once a week wearing a mask going between my two grocery...

It was known in 2015 that GM was working on a mid engine corvette: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a15107051/exclusive-mid-engine-c8-chevrolet-corvette-first-photos-news/ I quit coming to the forum, because most of the threads are like this one.

Yes, cold start emissions have driven a lot of design decisions based on the auto suppliers and testers I know.

Note that the focus RS (2016-2018 US models) used the 2.3T in a transverse application with AWD and was rated at 350/350. It's a lighter, smaller vehicle than a mustang, but not by much. With drivetrain and bottom end upgrades, quite a few folks make over 400whp with them. I considered an RS...

Maybe it has changed, but my Rubicon wrangler is not the highest package. It's just a package. My jeep wrangler is a 2015, 2 door rubicon or JKR. It has manual windows, manual locks, manual transmission, keyed ignition, no EVIC (electronic vehicle info center for TPMS etc.), no u-connect...
