What the fuck were they thinking?

no one tell him guys he can't handle it guys please dont tell him...
>>28992634Early 2010s outdoorsy larping millennials loved these and they were absolutely everywhere. Probably had the shortest overall lifespan of any modern vehicle though, all ending up in trailer parks/ghettos from 2015-2020 and subsequently blowing up as all FCA products do. Can’t remember the last time I saw one this decade.
Isn't this the old one? They made a new one. It isn't much better. The engines are always crap. They switched to the 1.6 engine that was made by Peugeot and BMW in the early 2000s for mini, which has never been a good engine, instead of the 2 liter "hurricane" 4 banger it should have had, and may yet get in a future model yearthe hurricane engine hasn't gotten great reviews either, but is probably better than the 1.6 or the old 2.4
>>28992634>Those filthy gentiles are gonna love this one. We’re gonna make so much money from them. Maybe I’ll buy a new blood cattle. I need to make sure to turn my lightswitches to shabbat mode before I go to bed tonight.
>>28992667This is true. I live in the epicenter of outdoorsy larping millennials (Bend, OR) and I virtually never see them anymore, and when I do they look 30 years old instead of 10-15.
>>28992826Bend had some CRAZY roads. Like, I'm used to the east coast and yeah we had a wild winter when I was there, you probably didn't live there back then this was almost 20 years ago but the roads were just covered in a sheet of ice and everyone there has studded tires (or did?) and I had to get studded tires for my pedal-bike. I tried to hike a trail. near tumalo falls, snowed in may, went back I wanna say late june, still pretty snowy, decided fuck it do it anyways, postholing for hours to get to "happy valley" + some genuinely nice waterfallsget lost on the way back because there was a crazy ice storm new years day that blew over a lot of trees and make a wrong turndon't get back till 9pmthey just sent out a search party looking for me, flashlights in my direction as I get to 1/4 mi from parkingit's such an extreme climate
>>28992829It's still like that. This most recent winter was unusually warm and dry but even so we had some crazy ice and these freezing fogs that covered everything in ice crystals and turned roads into hockey rinks (pic related), and it was gnarly for months on end last year. Studs are less common than they used to be since studless snows have gotten way better but you still see a decent number of them, especially people commuting down from Sunriver or La Pine. I drive a 4x4 truck and ran Blizzaks with some sandbags in the bed this winter and still had to exercise my old drifting skills a bunch, especially because the weird weather this year meant a bunch of times where it rained all evening and then froze overnight.
>>28992841>freezing fog>overnight flash freezeswe had a bunch of that fun here even in southern ont. this winter was wild; so many retards skidding off the road compared to the past few years. guess all the jeets got complacent from our otherwise more minor winter weather
>>28992841yeah no you need studs for bendblizzaks are performance tires, not ideal nothing works on ice like metal spikeshiking, biking, driving
>>28992877Problem is you get winters like this last one where it's clear and warm for weeks on end and your studs wreck themselves and the road and make highway driving miserable. Also ice and even potential snow season here lasts longer than legal stud season. Honestly a lot of people get by just with 3PMSF-rated all terrains and I did it in 2024-25 but I was commuting to Redmond everyday this last winter so it was worth getting studless winters, and they worked out fine. Studs might be more necessary on a 2WD car or if you go up into the mountains a lot though.
>>28992846Thankfully basically no jeets here but we've got a shitload of people from Portland, Seattle, and California who have no ice or snow driving experience.The weird thing with the freezing fog was that it happened with zero snow on the ground, so it looked like a video game where shit bugs out and spawns all the winter plant textures but not the ground ones.

>>28992634My wife has a 2020 Trailhawk.It’s been a reasonably good car all things considered. 100k miles of ownership, the water pump failed but that was covered under warranty. Other than that just standard maintenance items. Oil changes every 5k, brakes, tires, new battery, coils and plugs, coolant drain, trans fluid drain. There’s an open transfer case recall, we’ll probably get a new tcase out of it. I’m a little worried about the 9 speed’s longevity but we’ll see.It’s loud with the A/Ts, the trunk sucks, and the black interior is almost never clean. It gets like 24mpg highway, awful. But it eats up two track trails and sand dunes like nothing, it’s great in the snow, and it can haul our kayaks around. I’ve enjoyed my 5 years with it even though I tried to talk my gf at the time out of it.Is it a real offroader? No, but it can get you deeper into the woods than most other crossovers in its class and price range.
