Dakota now has a Class $Texas trailer hitch. What shall I tow with it?

No shed. No work to house. I want to move away. Back to trailerz

I can send you $2.73 and an old matchbox fiesta.

That would be a good start.

Sew, what if I traded Festiva for a 2012-ish Jeep Liberty, a vehicle that I once said was the worst driving vehicle of any kind, ever, for all of history.

The liberty isn't just one of the worst driving vehicles of the past decade or so.  It may be one of the worst cars flat out.

They are quite shitty to drive. But can also be made quite capable off road.

HHR.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

I was just working on one yesterday, and thinking to myself, "Hmmm, this is pretty easy to work on, and there is plenty of doge space...". Forget I said anything. These things are junk.

Why the hate? There are a million compact Pontiacs that were worse.

Yeah the HHR was a perfectly fine car IMO.

On the market at the same time? I mean sure, an '88 Sunfire is worse, but that's all I can think of.

Oh btw, Dakota is getting painted 50 shades of gray. I mean, I bought one color of gray paint, but I assume it will turn out schitty.

Eye of the Tiger

I changed my mind. Maybe a nice khaki color would be better.

Eye of the Tiger

Yeah, khaki with black bumpers and black wheels.

If only all I needed to fix cars was a hyperspanner and a tricorder...

Serious Question...
If I keep Fiesta and move up north, should I leave thr suspension stock, or install the Ford Performance Kit suspension (slightly lower and firmerer, basically like an ST)

You'd be better of lifting it, especially for winters.

Yeah, but maybe Dakota would be a winter beater. 2wd pickup is best for winter, right? I dunno, I live in South America.

Put Fiesta in bed of Dakota for xTra 2WD traction.

There are no drawbacks at all to this plan.

Excellent. It would be good to have a spare car on hand if Dakota breaks/gets stuck.
