Good looking rig....I'm just over the mountain from you; have the 2-door in DarthVader Blue :)

As they say across the pond, "different horses for different courses". I expect lifestyle differences in urban/suburban/rural settings will become much more pronounced in an energy-scarce future.

My 2 cents: Similar to "one-size-fits-all" clothing, today's vehicles are ONE SILVER BULLET does it all...from a quick trip to grab a 6-pack...to hauling 8 kids to the sports match...to 500-mile round trips to the shore. Neighborhood jaunts @40mph...to dodging semis at 80mph. And all with...

Some things in life transcend the concept of a 'possession' - and they become something akin to a life trophy or personal badge of honor. I think Bronco fits that description.

Its an evil plot to justify ADM :cool:

Here's another way of looking at 'normal': Peel away all the mumbo jumbo job-related requirements, and guesstimate what percentage of jobs in the USA really really really need more than 2 weeks OJT to adequately perform. Then, look at how people with those jobs live here in the USA...and...

LOL...that should be a new thread....or perhaps its own Forum :) You're kinda difficult to figure out...your sig photo is 4-door...but you seem to come to your senses in the script & claim the stork is bringing you a 2-door. I'll write-off your apparent confusion to the fact you've yet to...

I'd rank your point in the 'top 5' - but I think #1 is unrealistic expectations. The delta between cost of a loaf of bread in 1970 vs. 2022 is significant...but middle class 'lifestyle' differences are ginormous.

How'bout them Braves?

My clocks were never right more than twice a day :)

amen to that (obviously aside from 2.7l valves). I'm vintage 1948 - I promise you driving around in the 60s -70s, you didn't go 5 miles without seeing some car stranded on the side of the road.

The same article I quoted in the opening said the chip shortage has prompted automakers to funnel chips into their high-end vehicles to get the biggest return they can. Of course, Ford has pretty much exited that segment....determining I guess, it has become commoditized (price-driven) and...

Maybe....but even his yard maintenance guys are prolly driving new Broncos :)

lol...yeah....but in Carmel you live next door to Clint Eastwood, in one of the most beautiful spots on the planet :)

is that a marijuana strain?

lol....smart money says we're no where near the 'end'

Auto makers continuously showcase new goodies to regulators and are totally complicit in all these fluff requirements. This industry is ripe for disruption - not only in the distribution end, but the product itself.

The average monthly car payment crossed $700 a month earlier this year, the highest on record, according to Cox Automotive/Moody's Analytics. "I joke with people that every new car purchase is a luxury car purchase, I don't care what you're buying," says Ivan Drury, senior manager of insights...

I hardly go a day without seeing news that someone's electric vehicle has become (literally) a dumpster fire; I see electric cars as the "New Coke". Gas prices will rise & fall...but you know you'll get where you're going.
