    Actually, I fly in and out of detroit quite a bit for work. The airport is modern and well accommodated. Downtown is safe, has comfortable hotels and a myriad of food options. I'd rather spend an evening in Detroit than a lot of cities in the midwest.

    Ironically that what 3rd world countries are like nice airport/ touristy sections, but the second you get off the beaten path things go downhill quick.

    I wish they'd make commercials like these now 'a days. Everything is so PC you can't have any fun without upsetting somebody

    Nah, Florida is mostly flat. Hard for things to go downhill quick unless you got scuba gear on

    I like mine because it’s reliable. I’ve got European cars for when I want something that’s a massive pain in the ass!

    "Case Closed" (you should have bought a 240 series) ;)

    A 240 isn’t 900 dollars for a 150k mile rust free car like an s60 tho ;)

    If mine got 20+mpg, I'd say it's the best truck on the planet. But road trips sting a little more when I have to fill up every 225 miles. Literally my only "complaint". And I'm glad some people here might get those numbers, but I dont. And I'm not even asking for hybrid type numbers. Just a little more would be nice.

    Holy crap - is that actually a Jeep Gladiator engine block?

    One of the things I like about mine - since I've had it a few months I always get over 300 miles per tank. Last fill up was a little below a quarter tank at 350 miles. Averaging around 23 mpg. But mine I'm sure isn't as nice as yours being a 2.7L and 5 speed manual.
