Now I can BARELY get 35-40km during winter or even...

There’s a lot of Jeep apologists. Dozens of people suggested this was just a ‘rogue dealer’. Keep watching because I’ve got the smoking gun on that - it’s not a rogue dealer.

Some names: they just fit like a latex glove, don’t they? Bonus points for...

Three of Caradvice’s biggest cocks just got up and walked out. And they’re not coming back. The cocks in question, who made like Moses after the 10 plagues - even though that - guaranteed - never happened - were the so-called “founding team” at Caradvice: Alborz Fallah, Tony Crawford and (quote-unquote) “media personality” Paul Maric.
