If you’re not doing whatever it takes to get the best mileage out of your Prius, you might as well get an H1.

You’re not using your 4 door SUV to its potential, you should get a 2 door SUV plus an extra car instead. :P

I know that’s what I did, my ‘93 F150 didn’t get good gas mileage so I decided to get a 454 dually instead since nothing matters at that point

(in reality I want something stupid small but fun like a Fiesta SFE with a manual to compliment it, but I can’t afford that yet)

Oh man... don’t get me started on JKs... they’re glorified minivans IMO. At least that is how they are used. Even the lifted ones with light bars, they’re rarely dirty. The only Jeeps I see with mud on them regularly are 20 years old.

I wanted to reply to the 2-door SUV thing with DeMuro’s article titled “Every 2-Door SUV Has Failed” or something... but I happen to think his (Doug’s) premise was rather thin. Calling the Wrangler a failure, for example, is a stretch. Yes, he mentions them, and points out that Wranglers are nearly all 4-doors these days, but that’s an evolution, not a failure. Still. The point of his article was that 2-door SUVs are not on the upswing, and lots of 2-door variants of otherwise popular models have not lasted long in the US market.

It turns out people like to be able to get in and out of the back seat! Who knew?

You can’t judge a Jeep by the dirt on it. It’s easier to judge it by the profile of its tires. Many JK owners religiously wash them after they are used. Hell, one of heads of the Jeep group I’m part of has hers detailed if she had a weekend of heavy wheeling. There is a guy in the group with a detailing business where he specializes in Deep cleaning Jeeps.

I hated that take, it was so stupid it kept me from sleeping at night.

I’m not a fan of SUVs but lets get something clear, the “If you don’t use it to it’s full potential then get _____ instead” argument ends in PUBLIC TRANSPORT, because no one uses a car to it’s full potential.

Is it unreasonable to daily an F-450 duallie in a very congested city with small roads?: yes, but in the end if you live in a very congested city with small roads you should be using the metro anyway if you care about reasonability.

I think that Jalpnik writter can go live in South East Asia and daily a 50cc motorbike if he cares so much about what is reasonable.

NO!! YOU SHOULD DRIVE A PRIUS OR YOU’RE A BAD PERSON.

On a more serious note though, while people should be free to drive what they want within reason, if I hear someone complaining to me that they’re broke and I see them driving a an expensive to own vehicle (whether it’s a big assed truck or a BMW) that I know they don’t truly need, I’m gonna tell them to either ditch it for something in line with their actual needs, or stop bitching about being broke.

I’m getting sick of the just buy a car for your commuting crap. My commute is 4-miles. Even taken to the extreme of my $140 RallyMetro, buying it, maintaining it, registering it, and insuring it would cost more than I’d save in gas over daily driving my truck.

My Jeep is 21 years old... I can’t stand having mud left on it. Mud ruins seals, grinds into the glass when I roll the windows down, and holds moisture in causing rust. I try to avoid mud, but when I do get into it I have fun but I immediately afterwards set about washing it thoroughly. People who leave mud caked on their Jeeps A. don’t actually care about their Jeeps or B. haven’t owned them long enough to see the damage mud can do.

I don’t really care what you are talking about because Nacho Libre is a contender for the best film of all time. Along with Galaxy Quest , Coneheads and Moonstruck , in spite of the presence of Nicholas Cage, who is one of the worst movie actors of all time, while Cher is one of the hottest movie actors of all time.

Before I park my ATVs or dirtbikes, I’ll wash them. Depending on how dirty they got and how lazy I am determines the extent of the cleaning, but it’s always at least a quick spray with the hose. I can assure you my ATVs are/were not glorified minivans, mud and dirt will ruin stuff if it’s left where it’s not supposed to be.
