    The funny thing is that I haven't watched it in a few years. I need to watch it and "Young Frankenstein" on a rainy or snowy day soon.

    Do people buy a crossover intentionally? I could see getting one if you need a car but wouldn't mind having an SUV. Has anyone said I really want a crossover because that's what I want to drive?

    Purple Badges? o_O. OK, I'm outta here. Going back to the 2nd gen forums. You 3rd gen guys seem like you got drunk one night and woke up with a 3rd gen taco in bed with you, and now you don't know what to do with her. JK, enjoy yer trucks.

    Remove. 5 cent stickers are not ideal for me personally. It’s like wall paper-Ing a small section of your house to look good. Like one tramp stamp on your back that says “easy money”

    I de-badged my black 2nd gen. I liked it a lot until I put the matching topper on. Ended up putting the badges back on.

    De-badged. I think it looks cleaner that way. If it's between black or chrome, I'd say blue
