    Best Crossover/light duty SUV??

    Anyone have experience with the VWs? Both their AWD system and in general? Drove a little VW SUV "Crossfox" in Mexico and seemed a decent little rig.

    Wrangler Shopping advice

    Honest answer from my wife is she likes they way they look. If we end up with one now or couple years down the road a huge plus is it frees me up to get a more environmentally friendly daily driver (hence my cross over post) instead of driving the Xterra. Level of build of a JKU would...

    Best Crossover/light duty SUV??

    I am going into this with the idea of Subaru unless convinced otherwise....but probably not back to my old '78 Brat I drove in college.

    Wrangler Shopping advice

    The companion post to the crossover questions on my other post. Will be looking at Wranglers still, since that is my wife's first choice for her next vehicle. Any common issues we should be looking to avoid?

    Best Crossover/light duty SUV??

    Looking for a new daily driver for my wife (she deserves it, but also to save wear and tear on our Duramax). While a Wrangler was our first choice, that will probably have to wait another couple years for budget reasons. So we are looking into crossovers and light duty SUVs- mostly the get...

    TRUMP: Whats the real deal?

    The obsession with the wall, whichever side of the debate you are on. Personal view is we need to drop the wall discussion, get budget passed to reopen government then deal with the wall and border security as a separate policy issue. Even if is approved isn't something that gets built...

    TRUMP: Whats the real deal?

    Wall/fence whatever we want to call it does have its use in some areas. I don't disagree with that. But unfortunately the call for the wall is distracting for other aspects of border security and immigration reform that I believe will be quicker to implement and have more of an impact.

    TRUMP: Whats the real deal?

    @Noahfecks, what reason is there to say that immigrants from Africa or Haiti (the main countries of Trump's reference) would not make us a better country? Having many friends in Africa and having traveled in multiple African nations, I can say they are among the hardest working and kindest...

    Race and Racism

    I like the term used above of 'soft racism', I think it captures well the general attitudes I am meaning. And again, my point is not to make people defensive or argue, but to get us all thinking about our attitudes and actions towards those who are different from us.

    TRUMP: Whats the real deal?

    My issue, as I stated above, was not with his description of those countries- while I may disagree with it we are all entitle to an opinion on any place- but when he took it one step further and questioned why we would want people from those countries in the US.

    TRUMP: Whats the real deal?

    How can Trump's comments painting Mexican immigrants as "rapists", attacks on a US-born federal judge as "that Mexican judge" or wondering why we would want people from his "Sh...le" countries coming here (instead of more Norwegians) not be seen as racist?

    Race and Racism

    Not trying to poke the hornets nest, but rather provide some food for thought. In general, I try not be a person who puts labels on others- or tries to guess what is in their heart. But I will admit to, on occasion, using the term 'racist' or 'racism' to describe someone's comments on social...

    TRUMP: Whats the real deal?

    Thanks to those who are trying to depersonalize the debate, something at times is hard to do. It is important to recognize we can have different views and still respect each other as people. Funny though, how my differing view is because I am "misinformed", not an admission that we simply...

    TRUMP: Whats the real deal?

    An assumption was made by a forum member that immigrants and their children must be guilty of high rates of crime (even going so far as to suggest the only reason statistics don't support that is they are better at not getting caught). I will not apologize for calling that out as racism. In...
