If you don't want to do a lot of custom fabrication - there's Smyth conversions. I personally think their Jetta Ute conversion looks best. They aren't cheap but they look really nice imo.
I'm kind of pleased with myself that I've made it completely accident-free past the statistical hump right after you get your license, where you're statistically most likely to crash. Probably has something to do with the fact that I'm a total square, though.
Oh believe me, it's gonna happen, I'm just happy it hasn't yet. Honestly, that's why I'm a little nervous about buying a nice car. I'm at the point where I can seriously consider buying a car I really want, but I don't want it to be the one I crash. Ideally, I'd like to crash my mom's Civic because neither of us like it and frankly I would be doing a service.
Very, you can just cut the roof off at the back, but the roof is an important part of the structure, cut it off and the car can't support it's own weight and it will probably snap in 2 on the road.
like those oh so safe and legal convertible mods where the car is actually looking like a canoe boat and has the structural integrity of a sand castle
I was feeling nostalgic and managed to find my first car twice in Google Maps. Now it's time to browse Autotrader to find a new car to fill the gaping wound in my soul.
I personally would never own a 4 door Wrangler, but everything else about it I can totally get behind... Especially the storage for removed bolts and the fact that Jeep built this thing with upgrades in mind. As someone who heavily modifies his vehicles, that appeals to me big time.
I really like a lot of things about it, there are lots of small details that really make it cool. For example, that little vent behind the fender that stops the hood from fluttering. The Rubicon can also fit 35s straight from the factory. I don't like the taillights though, I'd be fine without blind spot monitoring, everything I drive on the regular doesn't have it.
I'm just impressed by the leeway Jeep designers were granted by the much maligned FIAT management. It was all doom and gloom before its reveal...
Not that I have any interest in getting one, but I like it. It seems like it was really designed with Jeep people in mind.
Im actually really glad that the emmissions scandal happend because vw was in talks with fiat chrysler to buy them or overtake at least a bit wich wouldnt be that good for them as vw is known to make good stuff worse
VAG made offers to purchase Alfa Romeo (quite frankly, the only valuable asset in the european arm of the FCA Group) and FCA declined.
