Nothing wrong with the 4.3. The torks made it a marine I/O staple for decades.

Jason is the best car guy at the moment pumping out killer content. ! come at me...

He is indeed very good. What a hilarious car. Are you going to ?

I think I'd choose a over it

taco is about 1/2 to 1/3 the price of the bronco... I probably wouldn't get the raptor as cool as it is... because I have no use case for it... per say... Other than just have a 0FG tank to roll around town in. I doubt it's a great travel vehicle. Which is actually a key thing I am looking for.

If you want to travel in a BroncoRaptor, just get a Raptor.

He says the ride quality is excellent... seems kind of wasteful I can't really imagine buying a car like that, a regular Wrangler already pushes upon my limits.

My BIL is getting a Bronco this week, he's had an order in for... years? I'm curious to see the spec and drive it.

I’m sure you’d be visiting a gas station even more, since this would get like 12 mpg highway.

Yeah I dunno. Bronco seems cool on paper. They make more sense than a wrangler to me, but IMO have less appeal because they don’t look as cool. Subjective tho.

Raptor doesn’t fit in garage. We went over this.

I was semi toying with the idea of a 392 wrongler. Imo it’s the simpler better vehicle for me… but hates em. And it’s 2x the cost of a with nothing to show for it other than bruuub which can be fun arguably

Well she can’t get into them without a ladder, so.

Lisa can’t either. She legit could not get into the Rubicon at the auto show. She was preggers tho so that might have played into it.

Funny enough I think my is in the 'you can pry this out of my cold, dead hands' camp now and doesn't seem to notice how terrible of a vehicle it is

I saw her put the tent top back this AM while leaving for work.

Epic Resale maybe. its not 2021 anymore. They are dropping like G wagons in the secondary market at the moment.

You can't sell it and make a trip to Nassau on the profit. But it will hold strong, IMHO.

That car was done by the SRT team. It's the best driving Wrangler, but process that however you want.

That truck will be 6k forever if you keep it nice. I think it's a great buy. Congrats

Grats!

Plans for it?

Drive it, but not in the winter. I'll "restore" it slowly starting with the interior, then maybe repaint it in the stock color if I like it that much in a few years.

$4300 drop in 28 days. Yea with a $4300 a month car payment + fuel/insurance etc... 5k a month gets me my current house on a hill. I'll be waiting until this normalizes.

I love the Colorado ZR2 story Detroit! So awesome, this is what cars are all about and what they're supposed to be about.

Yep, the ongoing Carvana offers on my Beemah reflect worse than that. I will probably end up bailing on the BRZ when I can only get $12K for the thing by December.

I'm still in the game but this is all making me more indecisive than ever.

Right now I'm mulling over just driving the BMW for another year and seeing what happens with cars/life, buying the BRZ I have on order, purchasing another Corvette (C6/7), keeping BMW and getting an NC Miata or something else fun/not expensive... maybe even trying to get a GR Corolla or Hype R next year if the economy really shits to the point that they're available for mere mortals. At that point though I'll probably get shit canned and no longer be mere mortal status.

With the real restraints of time, space, and money there is really nothing I want. I kinda would like a newer miata/fiata just for the reliability factor? but my old car drives better. A three series hardtop convertible would be a good dd/family mountain slayer but $$ and in no rush to get into bmw life again. The wife unit will likely need a car before me, unless I off the volt before it starts breaking in favor of aforementioned BMW or replacement commuter pod. We are thinking about a camper too.

Oh and since I didn't buy that turbo miata, a new to me multistrada 900 in next couple years would be
