“If you get a hardtop for the TJ, I’ll consider daily driving it”.
Me: first of all, are you drunk? I don’t think you wanna do that. As cool as that would be and you would be wife #1 of DFD, it’s not exactly built to commute 26 highway miles every morning.
Wife: not drunk, I like driving it. I feel I’ve come a long way on stick. Why are you talking me out of it?
Me: what if I got you an S2K?
Wife: too flashy, you just want me to get that so you can have your car cake and eat it too.
Me: what about a new Miata?
Wife: maybe. Let’s test drive some.
All of this spawns over her not wanting me to get a motorcycle.
If this goes according to plan, the Howard’s will have a new Miata club, new Lotus Emira, and a 2000 TJ wrangler come this time next year.

Although the Trashawk it great too. 7 car household soon

It truly is, cutting up is also a term too. They do it for social media clout. He even extensively rents from turo to do this same bullshit.Melon2.0 wrote: ↑Mon May 26, 2025 12:15 pmI recently watched a YT video about splitting. Shit's wild.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Sun May 25, 2025 5:33 pm

I just love getting buzzed by a broccoli going 90 in a rented AMG Benz Facebook live streaming and lane splitting on the garden state parkway when I’m in the CRV with my kids.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Tue May 27, 2025 12:46 amIt truly is, cutting up is also a term too.

I hate that damn road. Every time I’m on it I have 3-4 episodes of this.
Dude, I had to drive it last week, made the trip from DC suburbs to NYC suburbs (Gaithersburg to Fairfield, NJ). I had like 7-8 Altima and Sentra episodes, one or two actual near death experiences. I always thought some of y'all exaggerated on the Nissan thing, but it was in full force and truly insane.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Tue May 27, 2025 9:34 amI just love getting buzzed by a broccoli going 90 in a rented AMG Benz Facebook live streaming and lane splitting on the garden state parkway when I’m in the CRV with my kids.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Tue May 27, 2025 12:46 am
