Buffer picture - sunset from Duck, NC on vacation last week. Even thou gh it is an island, and I detest sand, it was a good vacation.

Now fleet update - I have one of the most un-jalop fleets right now.

My daily driver - 2015 Suburban LTZ. Bought used after we lost a minivan to H arvey last year. I really like it overall, but I have a long daily commute and I’m starting to not love the driver seat comfort. The leased BMW was turned in July 6 (after the local collision place did an amazing job repairing it when my wife was in a fender bender two weeks before turn in date).

Wife’s daily - 2015 Nissan Pathfinder (yes, the crossover one). It is brown though, so it may be my most jalop vehicle.

Third car (used by our afternoon help when picking up kids) - 2014 Chrysler T&C minivan. This is my third one (yeah, I live in a flood plain) and they are great utilitarian vehicles, especially if you have 4 kids ages 8-12.

Oh well, back to browsing local CL ads for what I can convince the wife is a reasonable project car.

I think the minivan is the most Jalop actually. Those are very Jalop.

Um, I guess. Except no seats in the back....maybe, kinda gives off the wrong  vibe....

It is incredibly useful.  Power sliding doors, power liftgate, DVD system for the kids.  The Chrysler 3.6 and 6 speed auto are pretty rough compared to most modern drivetrains though.
