Everyone is equal, its just that union officials are MORE equal. The only thing keeping us from a far left utopia is human nature on every swath of the political spectrum.

I was stationed in SoCal for 4 years. I’ve spent plenty of sunny days on the beaches in the LA area, Oceanside and San Diego. As I was getting ready to EAS I even interviewed with the CHP. Getting stationed in LA was a deal breaker for me. I liked San Diego, but even 18 years ago I didn’t want to live in LA. 

Couldn’t be the far left utopia they voted for not being what their state and local governments delivered? I know California was looking at a retroactive tax to fund COVID, repairs for the “mostly peaceful protests” and fires. The mayor of LA went pretty authoritarian at the first opportunity, and Newsom is about as…

So far all the arsonist shitheads I’ve read about have been caught in Oregon and Washington. 

One problem with putting batteries low in an off roader is having them potentially getting damaged by rocks or branches. Skid plates only do so much. Battery replacements are a lot more expensive than a gas tank, transfer case, or oil pan. I suppose it could be sandwiched under the bed, but that would also bring the…

Purposely ugly sold ship loads of Prius’ in the mid 2000s. But part of that working was an overt display of environmental piety. Not sure how well ugly on purpose will work on a car people lease as a flex.  

Not gonna lie, I’d drive it. 

I think I know the place where those tanks are at. I used to cruise around looking for cool old cars when I’d go to Fallon for grocery runs in my central Nevada days. If it’s the place I think it is the guy also had a 70 Mustang Sportsroof dirt track car. Lots of cool old stuff sitting out in fields around Fallon.…

It likely ended up in Idaho due to an Air Force serviceman getting transferred from Japan to Mountain Home Air Base. The military will ship one vehicle for you at their expense when you transfer.  

I was born in 1980, and an avid Dukes of Hazzard fan. In about 1985 my dad brought home a 1969 Dodge Charger, and I was over the moon. It was dark metallic green with a black vinyl top, a black interior, and a console shifter automatic behind a 383, that had replaced a 318 at some point. The idea was I would get it…

Shame on Max for ignoring that these “demonstrators” especially in California have been vandalizing these cars and trying to pull people out of them. Turning a blind eye to the actions of one side of this equation and amplifying the actions of the other as vile and wrong is disingenuous at best. Would Max sit and…

In the olden times C denoted rear wheel drive and K, four wheel drive. 

In fairness that dent was probably made by a Camry driver with an assist by an Optima. 

You want to see Chevy heads foam at the mouth, slap a K5 badge on a Trailblazer. 

For comfort, capability, and aftermarket support, I present to you the HJ81 Land Cruiser. The turbo diesel will be a bit easier on you at the fuel pump, which comes in handy if you are going out in the hills. Triple locked from the factory is a bonus too.

Did the kid at least say sworry? 

Gave me an instant flashback to my great grandpas old Honda CT that he used for putting around the farm when I, and probably back to when my dad was a kid.

Shouldn’t the word Camel be the weird bar code that Ferrari had to use when the tobacco companies were banned from advertising in motorsports?

Land Rover doesn’t need, or want money from the impoverished. I’m eager to see what kind of shape a Defender will be in after 5 years of use or so. I’ve seen too many Range Rovers turn into nightmare money pits conspicuously close to the warranty expiring to really trust a new Defender. It doesn’t take much to spec…

I’d like to know how good it is on the highway. A significant portion of the year I have a 110 mile round trip to work. I’ve been trying to press the Mrs. on the idea of a motorcycle for “fuel saving” reasons.
