It’s more than the climate. You have skiing, hiking and off road trails in forests, deserts, hills & mountains, fishing (that’s safe to eat) all within a couple hour’s drive from the bay area.

WSJ isn’t for the 99%, though.  They know their demographic.  Just look at the ads they run.  Rolex, mercedes, etc.

Because screw people that work for themselves and own businesses, right? You don’t know her expenses to rent that apartment, or her mortgage obligation. Not only is that person out income, they likely have a substantial negative cash flow due to those expenses and mortgage payment. She probably has tens of thousands…

haters got to hate, but dood the wrangler IS a playskool toy itself? what is your point especially since you obviously don’t know your history?

Or on the phone 

On an average mileage of 12,000/year you will die once in a car crash every 8,333 years.

When I had lane assist in a car in Europe I found myself fighting it about 95% more than it was useful.  If I got too close to a line it would try to pull me back, but on those tiny back roads it was near impossible not to be too close to one line or the other for its sensors.  I just turned it off and, you know,…

The reality is it has almost nothing to do with life-saving tech, but almost everything to do with poor drivers. Training/experience/ability is the answer, not more airbags and electronics.

As if the MAGA morons not wearing masks weren’t bad enough...

They could merge it into Cadillac pretty easily under the new naming scheme; just call it “Buiq.”

We don’t needa wrangler sub, we need choice! SFA is exactly why I don’t want a wrangler but I do want something like it. I’ll be going off road, and camping, and playing but one thing that never really caught my eye, and I even have a brother with a whole business set up for it and I’ve been doing it for almost 30…

That dam and power plant is why the Aluminum smelting is done out there by Alcoa. Canada is not in the lead because of the “free” hydro power in Quebec. And with Canada being a bit kinder to their…

5th Gear: My curmudgeonly take is WE should be driving when we are driving.

3rd gear: 

Neutral: Going well. I am now at moderate drinking and other vices phase. After a long week, I have been finding myself sitting in the yard with two fingers of Bourbon and a cigar. Great time to reflect on what is good in my life and as I look at the house realize the work I have yet to start.

One thing is for sure trump surpassed Reagan as the worst president in history. And the Reagan administration set the bar high for being a total shitshow.

This is some sad photochopin’ here, Westie

Anyone who comments like “Come drive through the downtown connector in {INSERT TOWN HERE} and then tell me how much you love manuals.” just doesn’t get it and probably never will.
