Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi
Are you able to stroke your stick again with the Yota?
I've been vaguely opening my eyes lately to see if AWD can be had with a stick. I'm still a ways off and am not in a hurry, but curiosity gets the best of me. The new Mazda3 can be had with AWD or a stick, but I haven't heard a definitive answer about AWD and a stick.

That's a bit rich for my blood, and I don't want to take a huge mileage penalty. Going to the auto show next weekend. Might have to pick the wonks' brains. Tough part is that I'm still so far out that the product mix might change and more manuals might die.

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi
You can in fact get a JL for not a ton of money, but that will be bare bones garbage without even A/C. Never mind the basics that normal vehicles have.
Ours was over $40k MSRP with quite a few options on it. Being a dealer employee I fortunately didnt pay nearly that much.

I may live in Minnesota, but I ain't fittin' to forego A/C. It still gets gross during the summer. I'd be curious to drive a Jeep, but don't know if I'd like to own one.watkins wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 9:47 am You can in fact get a JL for not a ton of money, but that will be bare bones garbage without even A/C.

With the doors and roof removed, no AC system known to mankind will make a difference in the cabin temperature.....come to think of it, with the doors and the roof removed, who needs AC?tankinbeans wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 10:02 amI may live in Minnesota, but I ain't fittin' to forego A/C.

Thats my theory most of the time. Though there are some situations where a suit is required, and therefore A/C is nice to haveRope-Pusher wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 1:08 pm With the doors and roof removed, no AC system known to mankind will make a difference in the cabin temperature.....come to think of it, with the doors and the roof removed, who needs AC?

I have passengers in my car often enough where I like to keep the windows closed so I can carry on a conversation without shouting making A/C very nice to have. Also, my missing eardrum sometimes causes headaches if there's too much buffeting.

Passengers would be OK,............ if they weren't humans. Dogs make excellent passengers.

Re: Misc Thread VI: Return of the Threadi
The fact that the tailgate window on my yota fully lowers into the hatch is a huge boon. It's no Wrangler in terms of doors off top off, but I didn't wanna take a chance on FCA reliability, even if I did fit in it.
