I did. It was a 95 F150 XL with the 300 straight six, a five speed stick, and 160,000 miles on the clock when I first started out in the oilfield.

Typical Toyota. My last 4runner i ran out to about 250k. Literally just gas tires oil and brakes plus two timing belts and one spark plug change. And at about 200k the power antenna stopped. But it even had the same original u joints.

Local Old Volvo Enthusiast here checking in, wondering why 150k is considered “high mileage.”

Once I hit a place in life where other things took priority, my daily driver went from something I could easily fix in a carport, to something under warranty that I could drop off at the dealer and get a loaner until they sorted it out.

Because I can find a lot better 4WD trucks I’d rather drive for that kind of money

Never mind that the morons that post stuff like this are the same people fighting to keep coal burning plants going. Failing on a massive scale, but still trying.

Not really worth responding to, but EVs can still be cleaner than gasoline vehicles, even when powered by coal. Internal combustion engines are very inefficient, while power plants are actually fairly efficient. EVs are also very efficient at converting electricity into motion. So, the combined efficiency of a gas…

I hope AAA cancels your account. Not just for abusing their services for an unnecessary tow, but also whining that they didn’t get to your non-emergency towing fast enough?

“And yes, why buy cars for an edge case, when you can rent a car for a long road trip if you need one.”

Yeah, Leaf batteries are pretty much like Subaru engines, they’re all the same size and they’ll bolt in to any model. The current Leaf still uses the same size and shape pack. I’m actually kind of curious if the new Ariya will use the same pack, that might be an interesting swap.

And yes, why buy cars for an edge…

Well really we need more of both but we especially need to stop regarding EVs with 50 miles as useless garbage that no one could possibly want.

I’m guessing the Venn Diagram of these mouthbreathers and the “Blue Lives Matter” crowd is a couple overlapping circles....

Lol. That article/clip had basically zero evidence of any violent acts. Just some warranted yelling to remind these racists MAGA morons who they are supporting.  Try again.

They are basically a less organized version of the SA. They are doing everything the SA did before 1933, just without a proper command structure and brown shirts.

Fucking argue against it. It’s dangerous illegal intimidation.

You’re not against what they did?

I still don’t understand how this is GM’s “commitment to the future?”

That’s the beauty of freedom of choice: you don’t need to justify your car decisions to any automobile Taliban that arbitrarily deems this or that choice as Haram.

It’s hilarious. Nobody even reads any more.

David, no, not really...
