…what’s the issue?

I don’t think Captain’s seats without a third row exists. There are some vehicles where the third row folds down into the floor and that might get you what you’re looking for.

My thoughts on what you listed: 4Runner is going to be the most Grand Cherokee-like with its truck-based underpinnings, but it won’t be cheap. Out of what you listed, it would arguably be the nicest / most well built of the bunch.

The Outback is going to be a bit longer / roomier than the Forester and will offer more cargo space. The Subarus and the Santa Fe will feel more car-like in their road manners given their underpinnings. For the Subarus, if you like power you’ll likely be disappointed with their base engines and may want to opt for a turbo option.

So you’re saying it’s not a lot for a lot?

Their target demographic doesn’t care about manuals. Their buyers either are most likely buying a status symbol and the ones who are actually looking to drive them are looking to emulate the F1 / IMSA experience where absolutely none of those cars are manuals

“He’s history’s greatest monster!”

Said the Simpsons, sarcastically.

That’s one hell of a user name you’ve got there

Would you say it’s a toe jam?

That looks great! Good work.

BTW +1 for making sure you look into some sort of protective coating otherwise you can expect to do this job again in another year.

People make fun of how simple Lars’ drumming is, and it most certainly usually is, but that is unbelievably impressive to hang onto so many of the details. The way he hangs onto every component of the drumming…I’ve listened to the song hundreds of times and he remembered the drumming better than I could after his first listen.
