Current Teslas actually tow. Their range is cut in half when towing almost anything.

Female Millennials have a higher employment rate than the Males. 

Maybe they should build flip down boosters built into the back seat. I’d be all over that shit on an option check box.

Do you know how many recruiters - direct or contract contact me a week to ask me to interview for jobs? I work in IT security. The answer is a lot. You know how many of them have positions that pay better than my current one? NONE.

I hate Trump, but part of me knows the trade war bullshit is unsustainable and will force all parties to the table to renegotiate.

I’ve got four spare doors... One is a bit rusty, but decided that for the glass and controls, etc it was worth it. Shame they didn’t make more two doors.

Wanna know something crazy? My back hatch glass shattered last week. Tint is keeping it in place for now. I can get that glass easy, but can’t buy a new rubber seal.

I actually have two full spare sets. When I find them in pull apart I snag them. I figure if I ever smash one it would be better to have them laying around now then try to find them later. The hard part is getting the seal out in one piece.

Shame about that rear pinch seam. Previous owner did that to mine as well.

1997 2 door, 5 speed flame red. ... With the smoker’s windows in the rear side glass... That is the trifecta.

Sigh....

Pretty much every weight distribution hitch has anti sway built in. If you tow any RV of decent size and weight you’d know that.
I do not have weight distribution setup for my flat bed car hauler, just the RV.
You are probably one of the people I don’t want to be around when and if you ever tow anything of

Yeah! Same here... Up high on a long overpass and got hit hard by a gust of wind... Applied way to much correction and I think I was lucky to keep her pointed down the road. Luckily I don’t pull the trailer at unsafe speeds or it might have been ugly.

MY F-150 has anti sway built in. It is no substitute for proper anti-sway hitch setup. The one time it tried to intervene it made matters far worse.

Motorcycle maintenance is more expensive #1. #2... If you do need maintenance your local bike dealer isn’t going to give a shit about fixing it in one day and having it back in your hands... Be ready to wait days to even get it in for the appointment and more days for the repairs to actually be done.
#3... Weather.

Or we can let the market dictate what directions consumers and business should or will go instead of artificially propping up a pretty bad business model whose single item of value is a hunk of metal with an artificially inflated value.... Like with all investments if that is what we are calling those things, what

Yeah... Because people can afford a stable of vehicles built for specific purposes... I’ll take the grocery getter to the super market, use the truck to tow the loads, the hybrid/EV to commute with, etc.

There are a lot of us that use our trucks as trucks and not just weekend home depot warriors. Try not to paint with

Built jeeps get waves... stock don’t. At least that is my experience. My 6.5 lifted 2 door XJ with 35's on real beadlocks that actually goes crawling gets jeep waves all the time... More from fellow XJ owners, but I get it from Wranglers too.

The paper towels are a rip. Bounty select a size multi packs are far cheaper at your local Sam’s club.

1. Portable jump boxes are cheap... You should have one for every vehicle. Not hard to keep them charged - the Lithium ion models hold their charge a long time and can jump a vehicle several times.

2. Redwood’s battery lasted only 45 minutes running the hazards. Stop buying junk yard batteries. New batteries are cheap.

Had the same truck - sorta. 99 Dakota sport with the 3.9 V6 and less fancy wheels. Same A.R.E. clam shell cover too. Put 113k on her in 13 years and to be honest it was one of the best vehicles I ever owned. I had wanted the V8, but honestly that 3.9 V6 did all I wanted it to do.

I miss her. Moved up to a Crew cab

Enough down payment and it doesn’t matter, but yeah... For those who can’t gap is a must.
