The only Wrangler I do NOT like is the Gladiator. Love the wheels the guy mounted on his Gladiator though. The 4Runner was great too! Isnt snow great lookin' when in the wilderness? Amongst trees and frozen lakes with snow-covered high mountains in the backround? Awesome Id say! But... Nothing beats the desolate beach backdrop...

Id wanna replicate the 75th anniversary concept if Id ever buy a Wrangler. Or just buy an original US military WW2 or Korean war Jeep. Or do a lifted 4 door like in the Terminator Salvation movie That is what I want in my Jeep. The only SUV I crave, really. OK...maybe a lifted 1980s Toyota 4Runner would be another. FCA hints at 392 and Hellcat V8s for it. Usually, I applaud V8 applications for vehicles, but not in these. I mean, I aint against V8s in these, its just that a V8 would be very very low on my gotta have list CJ/YJ/Wrangler...

So do I. That particular one is special...

Holy Toledo Batman!

Maybe flat, but can kick your ass upside down and sideways. Those pecs are : muscles super cut from their own body's weight. No "bodybuilding" weightlifting, tearing up and healing, coming back stronger and bigger pecs, but from training and practicing martial arts. Push ups, pull ups, sit ups, running, hitting objects, hitting other humans and getting hit back and meditation. Also, big pecs and huge python biceps, aside from steriod use, is determined from genetics and asian men, for the most part, are usually less huge in the pecs and biceps than say...Aryan men, such as yourself. Aryan men are huge goliaths naturally. Add a slight touch of free weights to that and Aryan men become...monoliths. LOL Besides, huge muscles negate flexibility and speed, and martial arts is all about the flexibility and speed. Which is more important than being big.

Maybe not Korean this guy, but an '80s icon martial artist and actor. Buff AF Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee All 3 have 1 thing in common: MARTIAL ARTS Perfect body, perfect mind happens when this discipline is practiced. Koreans have their own style of martial arts. Taekwondo I believe it is. One question? Koreans, @David only now have come to adopt "perfect bodies"? Body building being the catalyst? A western (Ancient Greek actually) thing and not from the influence of martial arts being an eastern thing? Interesting...

1. Isnt this a car forum? 2. You want to "harness" everyone else....BULLY everybody else unto YOUR shytty opinion. You are a joke. You are an asshole.

Like I said.... There is NEVER any rebuttal. You bully. You troll. You whine and play the victim. You are a sad man.

You know why you earned a downvote on the last one? Ill do what I used to do and break it down sentence by sentence. That will do two things. a) Either you will have a decent back and forth discourse with me and we WILL come to a conclusion with BOTH of us meeting in the middle or... b) YOU will just laugh it off or troll me and tell ME I dont know how it is...and PHOQUE YOU one MORE time if you choose option b again! Yes. That is true. But....you whining about the iX has NOTHING to do with how the iX is as an EV. THAT has been BMW's problem since the 2000s. We ALL know that. YOU presented your ORIGINAL argument differently... I told YOU this exact same thing when I responded to your ORIGINAL post... THIS is YOUR downvote part... ALL cars are engineered in a way that WILL break in the most stupidest of ways. Ford, GM, FCA/STELLANTIS, Honda, Toyota, VW, Hyundai, BMW, Mercedes...you name it. ALL manufactures WILL engineer some sort of illogical thing or install an item in a most bizarre way. All have done it in the past and all will CONTINUE to do so. Part of the fabric of the business. You take THAT aspect and you want to spin a hatred for it to prove some sort thing. Ford engineered a fuel line that might rupture and spill unto the 1.6 ecoboost engine and cause a fire. Literally millions of Fusions and Escapes were recalled. Some burned to the ground. GM went cheap on a starter cylinder. When overloaded key chains took a toll on older, WEAR AND TEARED Cobalts, the ignition switch would turn to the off position. Those are some of the most severe examples. The lesser examples are of what you just described. I got one on my 1999 Olds Alero. Two actually. The latch of the glove compartment was not a secure latch and if in a collision, the glove compartment door might drop down and if the collision was strong enough, the passenger would possibly get punctured by the door if the passenger went forward enough. Actually, I think my wife's Fusion had the same recall... On my Alero, the window sill tray inside the door was plastic. Plastic. Heavy 2 door window. Yeah...it broke and my window stayed down. In the winter... Montreal winter in January. Car was bought new in May of 1999. This problem arose in January 2000. Another downvote reason. The last two generations of Camaro are deemed to be...claustrophobic. This is not SOLEY a BMW problem. MORE IMPORTANTLY. WE DONT KNOW IF IT INCLUDES THE iX... What does THAT have to do with the iX? Another reason why a downvote... Care to rebuttal or are you gonna give me a laughy emoji and just COMPLETELY ignore me?

And now you are playing the victim card. Just like how I called it earlier. You start shyte, then whine. Why dont YOU change your phoquing ways and we could talk about the phoquing Bimmer?

Like I said... You are a hypocrite. A troll. You bully people.

From the Random Thoughts Thread If you find this post too long to read, there is a shorter answer. Just go straight to the pic below. Im sure he caught the sarcasm. He was just being nice to me and playing nice for the sake of this community. Hostility is not a nice thing. But...you do have issues you need to work on. You dont seem to be a very tolerant or open minded guy. Very narrow and close minded. Or maybe you play a buffoon on the internets. Its cool. You are who you are. In real life or your internet persona. I used to like you in these forums. Until I realized you are a very negative person in here full of bizarre and quite hypocritical behavior. When you are having fun in here, you are quite amusing to me and Im assuming everyone else. But most of the time, when an opinion differs from yours, you are quite the troll. You dont allow for discourse and all you do is just bully yourself through....while also playing the victim. Quite bizarre for a 50 year old man. Like I said, you are who you are. And yes I take your post as an insult. You constantly make things personal. YOU...do that. But hypocritically bitch that everyone else does... short answer:

That is nice of you. Thank-you! Like wise! Awesome truck BTW.

Granted, that was in the past when Tesla had shopping mall locations. I do not know if they continue to sell cars at shopping malls still. I assume too sometimes, but I own my assumptions BEFORE I am seen as an ass...

Not all Tesla stores have functional demo models tho... In Montreal we do in case one was wondering. There are no Rivian stores in Montreal.

how 'bout how it drives? Cant do that with a non-functioning "demo" model. Contrary to some folks' belief, EVs are not gonna be same 'ole mundane pods. That criteria is reserved for autonomous pods, which wont be happening any time soon. Suspension tuning, handling characteristics, steering input and output, acceleration tuning, regen braking tuning, etc will still have differences between them. Especially in acceleration tuning...computer software WILL mimick and differentiate between family haulers and sports cars... So...how would you know what kind of an EV drive you prefer and want to own if you dont take a test drive from the real thing. Dealerships are needed. The BUYING process NEEDS to change. But NOT the touch and feel experience you get at a dealership...

Has it been that long for you since you last used paper cash money that you have to put cash in quotations and call it strange and new? LOL I find it strange (in a good and funny way) that you even found it new in paying with actual physical legal tender. LOL

As in "gotta go to Kmart"? anyway...the next word going forward right after pacifier. The Rock

Yeah...that is kinda stupid. But we knew that from awhile ago. #3 for sedans. #4 for coupes. Then they got the 4 door coupe thing plus they have the lifted hatch GT/CUV/station wagon thing... Not to mention the nonsensical engine displacement number system... Oh...I forgot. The M sport cars that just have M badging and nothing else then the got the M-light cars and then the fully on sport M cars... The idiotic iX naming scheme has nothing to do with the vehicle itself. Is this really a flagship tho? 0-60 in less than whatever seconds is a non-issue. Yes its BMW and it should BE a selling point, especially in comparison to a Tesla Model Y, but maybe we should get off of the speed performance numbers just a tad. Not defending BMW here, because I do acknowledge this particular Bimmer gets its lunch eaten with even ICE cars in this 0-60 performance criteria, but in reality, 0-60 in under 5 seconds in the real world is pretty darn good regardless. The EV stuff, if Bimmer's marketing numbers are gonna do exactly as they say it will do, while not Tesla beating numbers, they arent that shabby. I dont care enough for it to see how much this will sell for, but if it undercuts the Tesla Model Y by a good margin, well, it be a good start to actually sell some copies to the EV people. If this thing costs as much or more, its DOA. I aint gonna comment on the looks of it because, well... There is nothing I will say that correctly describes how it looks. (its horrid, but so are the other Bimmers that have gone in production since the last decade or so. Its horrid? Lets be honest. It aint that bad... Its on par with every other ICE or EV Bimmer to come out since a decade now. If we are honest with ourselves (right Blu?) its just as much of a joke as an ICE X3 or X1. If we wont bitch about those, then the iX is on par with what Bimmer has been doing all along since the turn of this century. (hence the downvote Blu...because I havent read anything negative about the X1 or X3 from your way...) (talking to Balthy while indirectly directing this to another poster...)
