Thats because it was old, and everything was black and white back then.

That 1914 logo didn’t have a very long shelf life.

I mean, technically you’re right, but a nice tight shot is what everyone wants, and maybe a comparison to the outgoing.. or years past.

That things going to tip over the first time it climbs a curb, its massively top-heavy. It will be able to go through light snow/mud, but will be worthless on any real trail. You’d be better off with almost any AWD SUV with clearance. Hard pass, not that I have the money. 

I think my problem was using the cigarette lighter plug. As you mentioned, it has a far lower power delivery. I’m guessing I’ve been popping the car’s fuse, not the inverter.. now that you mention it.

I had been using a Yellowtop battery (this was 2005-2012), so it was when they were good.

I wish there was a way to…

As an Iowan: FUCK ETHANOL!

ok, beer just came out of my mouth and is dribbling on my shirt, thanks.

Less user created content, and if there’s a slideshow it had better be for a good reason. I’m here to be entertained, and I can read comments myself.

Let Torch get weird, and hopefully his sickness spreads to the rest of the staff. His idiosyncratic posts are the best part of Jalopnik.

As someone who routinely works out of his car sending large files via Macbook Pro laptop and charging multiple devices (Canon DSLR and AA batteries), power inverters don’t work long term. I stopped using them because eventually you pop fuses or the whole thing just stops working for unknown reasons. No, I’m not…

You are the best part of Jalopnik, by far. You really need to get the Torchlopnik.com domain.

That comment was totally rufus ! !

Can confirm, my 95 YJ is significantly similar to my 76 CJ5. Minor updates were made (Fuel injection, AC, disc brakes) but the bones are all the same including the no airbags, tub, suspension, engine, cooling, seats, underpinnings of dash, etc). Its the same vehicle with fancy bits added on. 99% of the CJ can be…

Great opportunity to own something weird. I actually kind of dig that its a KIA engine, they’re probably easier to work on and more reliable than an Isuzu Turbo, though early KIA wasn’t the best. Anything post ~2000 was mostly reliable, especially if it was a Hyundai sourced engine (that 140HP 2.0L I4 was bulletproof).

Looks like it has 2 drivers seats, you can see the seat belt loop from the back.

I’m not saying 20-40% is not worth recycling. When one thinks recycling takes care of all waste that goes into the blue bin, it leads to thoughtless consumption. I didn’t bother to reuse because I was off the hook: The recycle guy would come by and turn all my discards into milk jugs and frisbees or whatever.

I disagree. Legislation creates tax breaks which promotes green energy, which in turn influences the actions of consumers. Look at the laws that banned cars in Europe. Those came into action because of VOTING. Huge repercussions throughout the globe as a result, as more and more cities mimic this type of thinking.

I went electric when I had kids who napped, and I wanted to mow without waking them up. Its also way lighter, making mowing uphill way easier. It replaced a rear wheel driven mower, and now I can mow hills without the drive wheels tearing up the turf, and with the weight difference its about as easy. Also, the exhaust…

Oh, I also have index funds, lol. You can do both. My 2 index funds are at ~5% for the last 12 months (I actually just looked this up earlier this evening, coincidentally). If I invested my $12k of panels into index funds, that would earn me $600/year, which isn’t guaranteed. My electric bill was $200/mo (x12) =…

Did they say that was the ONLY thing they were doing? Voting is probably the most powerful thing we can all do, hands down.

I’ve been using a Greenworks to mow my 1/3 acre hill for the last 7 years. I own 6 or so different Greenworks products (each come with a battery) so I have a ton of extra batteries. So long as you have 1-2 charged up, and are willing to swap 1/2 way through, its not an issue. If you’re mowing knee deep grass on the…
