Huh, I could swear I remember reading that one of the little suzuki’s didn’t have a low range.  Well, I sit corrected (just had surgery so not much standing going on).

Seems like a ancient regulation that needs an update.

I’m confused. A hummer H1 isn’t even the ultimate off-roader at 1/4 the price. The lower control arms that hinder it’s ground clearance, huge size, lack of creature comforts, GM engine with a very likely casting flaw...  You know you can buy a pinzgauer for 15-20k right?  In the 200k range, I could be driving a Kamaz…

Shave-Ice (as it’s called in Hawaii) is super popular. You’d think it would have started there, but it seems Baltimore was serving something similar as far back as the 1850s. Who knew?

And here i am with an electric bmw that has a dead AC compressor.  Replacement is 5-7 grand.  Car has 50k miles on it.  Anecdotal...but hard to agree with the current gen stuff.

Dont touch this thing with a 1000 ft pole. They have a ton of stupidly expensive issues and share a lot of failure prone parts from the I3. AC compressor goes out? 5 grand. 7 grand if it threw metal shards into the cooling pipes for the battery and it has to be cleaned out. Ask me how I know...and why I don’t have AC…

I know this is a crazy thought but can we find a way to get law enforcement to actually enforce based on the threat vs revenue. I drive about 1000 miles a month...so average miles...and running red lights has become a completely normal thing because there is no enforcement. Better get that dude on the 6 lane wide…

Hawaii has a sticker that goes on the bumper or a little plate you can attach to the license plate mounts to keep stickers off the car.  Putting it on or near the registration sticker (license plate) seems like the best place.

That was exactly what I was thinking.  Airborne in ground effect is still flying.

Texas does sell the most trucks but only ranks 19th in ownership per capita. California has the most truck owners of any state. Odd how all those statistics work out. Wyoming is number one by a lot comparing truck ownership to population.

I’ve own multiple mercedes, bmw’s, acuras, a lexus, a cadillac...just to list a few. Nothing even comes close to my first car. A 1964 Chevrolet bel air. It had 2 couches for seats, what looked like a window AC unit without the cover bolted under the dash, power steering that would go lock to lock with a pinky finger…

Not always an option. Weather and access/road availability play a part. I commute 6 miles. I thought about using a bicycle when we first moved except that half the time, I have to use a freeway for 3 of those miles. There is no other road available at certain times of the day/night because it’s on a military base and…

I had my Syclone in Hawaii for years. Not my fault soldiers make terrible car decisions (IE: Mustangs).

Not a car so maybe it doesn’t count, but the 1991 GMC Syclone (honorable mention to the 3 years of the Typhoon). Built to take corvettes and all other comers at stoplights. AWD, 4.3 with a big turbo on top. The slow spool gave 5.0 mustangs hope...and then crushed it (unless you launched it and then it was just staring…

Last I looked this wasn’t an airport.  No need to announce departures.

Never listen to anecdotal evidence. Look for large forums and other groups and look up the known issues. Everyone has that friend that never had a problem with his bmw or his ducati or <insert expensive and overengineered thing here> You WILL get burned.

While I agree with most of what you said, it wouldn’t really be a K5 Tahoe because there wasn’t one. Even my 89 isn’t technically a K5 because chevy dropped it to avoid confusion on the pickup line. Even on the purchase documents, my 1989 Blazer actually says V1500, which can be super annoying trying to find year…

I can attest to this. I actually bought a BHPH car off a buddy who purchased it and was making payments. I just had to pay it off to take it off his hands and $1200 for a 10 year old f150 with working AC in Hawaii was a deal 15 years ago.

Mini-episodes?  A bluey episode is only 7 minutes to begin with.  These are single frame...comics?

This is exactly why my 10 year old electric car the size of a portly golf cart costs more to insure than my 35 year old SUV...fine...and our 2 month old loaded minivan. The value is roughly 1/5 of the minivan and it costs more per month to insure because the odds of a write-off are basically 100%. While I understand…
