    I hate assholes who discriminate against pit bulls.
    I moved to New Hampshire from Mass because there is No BSL ( breed specific legislation) . Some municipalities band them. Dogs need people as much as we need them .... pretty sad.

    One thing I've determined is that I do not like driving stick shift Jeep Wranglers...

    Volkswagens are probably the easiest manual transmissions vehicles to drive, and the Chevy Sonic RS Turbo that I detailed last week was also very forgiving.

    However, I've driven one manual transmission Wrangler (a 2012 with 60K miles), and the clutch felt very wonky. It was difficult to move the vehicle without stalling it, and I was forced to let another coworker take the wheel.

    I would also like point out that no Wrangler JK (2007-2018) came from the factory with a backup camera, and this can be rather unnerving when backing up in a small garage.

    Toyota really needs to bring back the FJ Cruiser in America, but with a removable top!

    I had a TJ standard and really liked the shifting, was a little mushy but was fun to drive.

    I seem to recall there are more issues with older vehicles that are from the pre-ethanol era, and when returned to life and introduced to this new ethanol fuel blend there can be lots of problems. They start up and run with the usual tricks, but after a bit of use the newer fuel starts causing issues. This is making barn finds a bit more difficult to get back on the road.
