no trough, just a nice wide old school bench seat. that way she'll be able to slide far enough over to close the door.ucantdoitdoggieSTyle2 wrote:When are you ripping out that center console and installing a trough?

Mrs. Rumps doesn't drink soda. Didn't you know, Magoo, they serve tea at these places, too.MgoBlue-LightSpecial wrote:I see it didn't take long to jam the cup holder with her super sized (diet) coke.
Did Scotty just roll over and knudge you and give you this gem to post?ucantdoitdoggieSTyle2 wrote:When are you ripping out that center console and installing a trough?
Dead fucking wrong, Jack. It's a 4-door SUV that is fully loaded sans wood grain and third row seating, but it's got everything else a Tahoe, H3, Expedition, Sequoia, and Armada has to offer. The four-door is a practical family vehicle and a lot cheaper than the vehicles mentioned above. Not only that, but this vehicle is also fun for going to the beach and taking the tops off. You can do a lot more mods at a much cheaper price b/c the after-market market is huge and competitive.R-Jack wrote:I've never seen a vehicle that is so impractical, so overpriced...

These places? You mean... fast food joints? I can't make out the words, but 32 oz of any drink usually means a shitload of food was required to be washed down.Go Coogs' wrote:Mrs. Rumps doesn't drink soda. Didn't you know, Magoo, they serve tea at these places, too.
Exactly. Wonder how he is liking the ass fucking the new car dealer put on him.smackaholic wrote:the only thing dumber than buying a brand new jeep

2nd. Especially in a place like Houston where winter is almost never a concern. Even if you bought a vehicle, why buy a brand new 4x4 SUV just to put 14 miles a day on it? Better to get something 4-5 years old if you're just going to putt-putt to and from work for the next 10 years.smackaholic wrote:the only thing dumber than buying a brand new jeep is buying a brand new jeep for the sole purpose of carting someone to a job 7 miles away and back. tell the OL to get a bike and ride it to work. Stay away from carbon fiber and aluminum though. I've heard good thinks about the surly long haul trucker when it comes to loaded up bicycles.
So you've never bougt a shirt that you liked because it looked cool but wasn't practical? Lemme guess, your entire closet consists of blue jeans, tan shirts, and brown shoes?BSmack wrote:Even if you bought a vehicle, why buy a brand new 4x4 SUV just to put 14 miles a day on it?

So you're suggesting everyone else outside the great state of Texas drives Smart Cars and/or rides a bike to work? Dude, not everything Detroit manufactures is shipped to Texas. I thought you had more sense than that.MgoBlue-LightSpecial wrote:Because that's how Texans roll.
Careful, you're addressing BSmack, not ucant. Still...you're comparing a shirt to a brand new SUV?Go Coogs' wrote:So you've never bougt a shirt that you liked because it looked cool but wasn't practical?

I'm sorry, I thought I lived in America. Mrs. Rumps wanted a "fun" driving SUV. She wanted the Jeep, so I bought it for her. Why is it so difficult to comprehend that?
I'm sure she'll have lots of fun drinving it to the dealer for repairs. Sorry, dude. Jeeps suck. My wife had one when we first met and it was a total piece of crap.Go Coogs' wrote:I'm sorry, I thought I lived in America. Mrs. Rumps wanted a "fun" driving SUV.

It was more the point of buying brand new. You could have paid 20k less and gotten something that would do the same job with the same nameplate and "fun"factor had you spent a little time researching used vehicles. I can see buying brand new if you're going to rack up the miles, but for that kind of commute?Go Coogs' wrote:So you've never bougt a shirt that you liked because it looked cool but wasn't practical?

Not sure why anyone would buy a “Smart” car. They’re over-priced, don’t get really exceptional gas mileage, and if you were in one and got hit by that Jeep (assuming it wasn’t in the shop), you’d be dead.Go Coogs' wrote:So you're suggesting everyone else outside the great state of Texas drives Smart CarsMgoBlue-LightSpecial wrote:Because that's how Texans roll.
I reasearched for weeks. Had a thick folder with every top of the line SUV out there and had them priced at four to five different dealerships. I was prepared to drop 50K on a "Platinum" full-size SUV. Trust me, I wanted used, but Mrs. Rumps wanted new. We compromised.BSmack wrote:It was more the point of buying brand new.

In Texas... a Platinum 2WD SUV goes for $54K, so I imagine you're pretty screwed. Rumplewife would be totally fucked by the Grassclippings.Go Coogs' wrote:I was prepared to drop 50K on a "Platinum" full-size SUV.
It's like buying his wife a vacuum cleaner for her birthday. It's his weight loss plan for her.OCmike wrote:you live in Southern Texas and bought a black vehicle with leather/vinyl seats? :?
