Neither are the vast majority of actual Jeep owners!

I thought mine was cool. White with black (no chrome), big tire option with 4 wheel disc, 5 speed MT, 4x4, manual locking hubs, limited slip, and 3.2L 24 valve V6. It took us everywhere pretty much trouble free for 285k miles. One of my favorite things is it had a real steel tailgate.

And they're easier to get into/out of than most SUVs too.

I don't know where Honda Oydessys fit into the scheme of things but I went a 3 night approx 800km trip in one. (I wasn't driving.) This was in 2011 so it was far from a current model. I thought it made a lot of sense and with Honda's ability to morph the inside layout it had more than enough room for 4 of us plus luggage. I thought it a large car as opposed to a van or suv.

TIL a male and female can't operate together without some dumbass sniffing around hoping to find some sort of dirt for drama. God I love the Army.

But they play well

today i learned people don't just give away $6k closed deck blocks for 'burning oil'

gen3v8 · 08-10-2022, 03:41 PM

TIL. The 2nd gen blocked oil pick up is much more than a couple of cases. I`d say every single one.
Here is a random inspection of one. https://www.tiktok.com/@pvs_tuning/v...39799763127554

TIL how shitty it is to have to live in an AirBnB while you wait to close on a house which should have closed a week ago.

Oh god don't bring that over here!
And that is about the 5th time that same car has been brought up just in a different format. One single car accounts for about 20% of the "look there is silicone" posts.
