Pushing a button is easier than remembering to grab some hand warmers. Nor do I think you want those taped to the steering wheel.
I'm just saying... buying a truck like one you have to just get a heated steering wheel is kinda crazy. Especially since you already have the ZR2..... There are other vehicles out there that probably would be better that have heated steering wheels, like a JL. ;)
I mean, in a selfish :fullretard: way, I REALLY want the orange ZR2. I just love the color. I'd be happy buying one and then giving my current truck back at the end of the lease. It's the way I somewhat justify the ridiculousness.

But I think adding a JL to the fleet would be :notbad: as well.

When you throw out all logic and make irrational demands, you can get to the thinking pretty easily.

Exactly. :tits: loves the idea. I guess I'll see what pricing does in 5 months or so.

So she didn't like the Saab because :notsure:
She liked the :truk: SMP because :truk:
She didn't like the :truk: but then "loved" the volt because "free charging/drinking" at work +heated wheel
She doesn't like the "volt" because one tire blow out
She likes the ZR2 because "truk"
She doesn't like the ZR2 because no heated wheel

I think you're enabling some of that :lol:

No question. The guy ends up with a ZR2, JL and Corvette.....all because of the arbitrary whims of womankind? :bs:

Honestly, I don't really want to make any moves. I don't mind driving the Volt at all and since I get free commuting with it, :aintcare:

I like the Blurple :truk: because it's cheap (comparatively) so I'd rather just stay the course. She keeps bringing up this ridiculous heated steering wheel :bs: and not wanting to be in a "low car" or whatever.

I agree, it is :jimp: having all three for what they are.

Drove the :poorvette: to work yesterday for the first time in awhile and I have to say that I really love that car. I'm glad I didn't do something stupid like trade it and the Camaro away on the 911.

Honestly, I like the ZR2 better than the JK...we need to drive a JL to compare.

I'd really rather not make any moves, but I know I'm going to get screwed come winter. She "needs" a :truk: with a heated steering wheel. It's so absurd.

Pushing a button is easier than remembering to grab some hand warmers. Nor do I think you want those taped to the steering wheel.
Or just don't be a bitch and wear gloves?

Well, I mean...it is :tits: we're talking about. I have zero interest in the heated steering wheel, personally.

5/7 plan! :like:

Also, do you know of any wheelin' places in the middle of PA? Somewhere between Meat Chicken and Jersey?
AAoA and Rausch Creek: https://offroad-consulting.com/guided-rides
Both are about 2 - 2.5 hours away from me. :notbad:
Plan is to make it out to Rausch at least once this year.

Might be a bit of a drive for Detroit to come for a wheelin' :meat: up.

Probably 8 hours...tough sell for an offroad park.

The Mid Atlantic Backcountry Discover Route would be 5/7 worth the drive, :doe:
