:hellno:

There's a chance that I'll pick up another 951 or a 996 or something German in the next few years, but that would just be as a "fun car". Though, it's more likely that I'd :troywax: on a newer glamper before another car I won't drive. Michigan BLOWS for car ownership.
Pretty great for glamping, doe.
Absolutely. Hence more desire to upgrade the glamper than buy another car to park in the garage.

Back seat vents of the JLU air conditioning are nearly entirely useless. It's hot back there. Headliner needed if you plan on transporting people in the rear seats.

Heat index today is 99.
Black on black jeep in Texas sun :thisisfine:
The roof of it is indeed pretty warm

Vents back there really don't blow much air at all. My dog would have an M3 experience.

All is fine in the front seat.

It was 100, in a black on black bmw with a carbon roof, which heats up more than the portapotty, and no AIR not even AC coming from the vents ... and 4 people and a dog in a much smaller car with BLACK leather. :disgust: I am getting epic flashbacks of that mess.

It was great... drove her home... she "woke up" soberish as if nothing happened 2 hrs later...
I went home and immediately started cleaning the car. had to take out the passenger seat... wet vac rented the works... got everything but the smell out..

I tried everything. Simple green, febreeze, etc, and it still smelled like vomit... know how great it is to get into a car that smells like vomit?

Then i found something... LYSOL, that did the trick, the one that kills the aids virus one... however, the car then forever smelled like lysol, reminding me of that infamous night...

Oh and I drove without a seat for 1 week to let things air out there.

Doesn't hurt, just don't sell yourself on it before seeing it.

I do that all the time.

I have some reservations about the 4cyl, so we’ll check it out and see what happens.
Dude. As anything other than a toy, this is completely unacceptable on like 50 levels.

130hp and 150tq (when new) lugging 3500lbs through 3 gears... why don’t you see the light :bruh:

I think that engine would legit be incapable of maintaining. 65mph up a slight grade
