@kingt

Wait.

Maybe spring for an exhaust and some nice lightweight wheels that you like to liven it up for you in the meantime?

@annoying_salman The second gen, apparently sans hyphen, the XL7, was based on a GM platform and running gear. Basically just a really big Equinox from before such large SUVs were often unibody.

Huh, the V6 was probably a big selling point here. Weird that they didn't offer a four pot though for developing markets.

Ah, I forgot to mention that they did sell a 4 cylinder variant, with the short wheel base. My father found them interesting.

@whoistheleader Voted for the Merc, because I suggested it to you a few weeks ago 😆

At a time in my life where I have neither the space, money, or justifiable reason for such a car.

Just answered your own question bud.

@ranwhenparked they're high up on my list of attainable classics I'd like to own. But that Dyane in Illinois. . . Dang, the want is real.

@williamssw I'd have to wait until Christmas break too.

I just got word that even when my district does return to a hybrid schedule (whenever that is), my classes will be fully remote. I am less than thrilled. At least I can plan long term, which is better than what the district put us through this semester.

My daughters have been remote all year so far. Their teachers have done a fantastic job. I cannot believe they are managing to make kindergarten work remotely for my little one. They are targeting a start for hybrid January 19th, although I'm guessing that's going to get kicked back again.

Luckily my wife quit her job to stay home with the kids a few years ago, or I don't know what the hell we would have done.

@66p1800inpieces I taught my son to drive stick in one of these. He was 6 at the time. Mine was the easiest shifting manual I have ever driven.
