Yes, 8 speed. They have changed very little since then. Cosmetic changes to the front, the 3.6 got vvt and stop/start in ‘16 IIRC. The main features I’d want from a newer one would be Apple Car Play and a couple features from the higher trims like the pano roof (I have the regular sunroof which is fine) and the heated/cooled seats (I have heated seats). I really can’t complain about anything w/ mine...it’s comfortable around town, on short road trips and cross country road trips...

Yeah, Laredos are in that range. My current one is a Limited, my next would be an Overland or a Summit. Though another CPO makes more sense than new. But it’s all hypothetical since my ‘14 only has 49k. I really don’t see myself shopping for at least another 3-5 years.

White with red rims is...different. what color was the interior?

I checked out the configurator for Rivian R1S. Spec'd out a 5-seat in Forest Green w/ green interior, Adventure package. $81k... love the green interior and exterior, but if I were shopping in 2021, I'd get another Grand Cherokee for $30k less...

Turned 50 this year. Overall, my health is fine..need to take off a few pounds. But after decades of living in one story homes, moving to a four story split level in 2017 has taken it's toll on my back, hips and knees...some days are fine, other days it's a world of pain....

I think I'd probably really enjoy a 2dr Bronco. If I could get one in brown w/ a tan interior that would be ideal.

Regular Bronco has some also, I like these..seems they come in black on the Black Diamond trim.

No, but...would be an interesting option, though.

Kind of an anti-bling move. I did discover yesterday on FB that apparently Escalades ordered w/ 22s are shipped w/ these plain wheels---kinda of an anti-bling look also.

Was surfing google street view and came across one of the bizzaro distortion vehicles--a 6 wheel Honda CR-V..

^ was that material called 'Morrodyke' or something like that?

Double stop intersection.

I've seen pics of this car around...the side window treatment looks very awkward..looks like they used an A-body wagon roof and rear hatch. This '72 deVille based wagon that used B-body wagon parts look better, IMO. This one was owned by Elvis. This '74 would look good w/ Escalade badges.. This Fleetwood wagon appears to have used an A-body rear roof, which looks too small and out of place, IMO..

No doubt...same with a GM EV, VW EV, M-B EV...companies that have built cars for decades are more likely to build a quality product than a small company that cuts corners and tries to reinvent normal production methods...

I recently saw a late model Civic 2dr towing a small trailer w/ a Polaris side by side ATV thingy on it.

Not sure what the deal w/ 'truck' plates in Ohio is...I've seen ordinary pickups with and without them, seen them on what are definitely commercial-use trucks and vans (i.e. HVAC service vans)... Maybe the plate on the Civic expired and Bob took the plate off his truck and put on it. A buddy of mine in Colorado did that 20 years ago---let his Suburban plates expire and put the rear plate from his Porsche 911 SC on it. I remember riding from the airport w/ him when we returned to Denver from San Francisco on a consulting gig and the parking attendant at the airport mentioned the front and back plates didn't match...

Whilst going through the drivethru at Walgreens this afternoon, was behind a late model Civic with an Ohio ‘Truck’ license plate. Odd.

It's too bad the current VW California camper isn't sold in the US...neat vehicle.

My buddy in AZ w/ the FJ 60 and FJ 40 was looking at something like that, he and his wife go camping in the FJ 60...

If I ever spend time on my family farm again, I'd love to have an old truck there...a '73 Ford F100 w/ 6 would be neat.

Love the exhaust note on this modified Caprice PPV, at around 9:35 min mark and again around 11:08 and onward..

I think there is a lot to like about the GM Colonnade A-bodies, esp. the '73 coupes w/ the integrated rear bumpers...even with the huge front bumpers on most...

Another early 70s muscle car I love is the '72 Gran Torino Sport..love the huge fastback roofline and the way the top of the door kicks up...'73 had the same body, but got a huge front bumper and smaller grille.'

Maybe my favorite of the muscle car era Plymouths--the '71 Road Runner and GTX. Love the rounded fuselage styling and loop front bumper.

For a vintage Buick convertible, this would probably be my ideal..
