Completely agree with you here.

Except that you need a separate license to operate one?

Same reason our TJ Wrangler has harnesses for of road and the original seat belts. The harnesses aren’t road legal.

For not building within our means, as you state, but the root cause is not reproducing within our means.

I’m pretty sure my mom kept all of mine along with all of my dinosaur magazines. I’ll have to check.

Maybe an unpopular opinion here, but the highways are because people need access to a huge number of new homes, because of the huge number of new families, because of the massive population growth. The US population has grown almost 20% in the past 20 years.

Since it’s been around for a couple years in the Focus RS, they’ve probably fixed the head gasket issues and other kinks. 22psi is huge, though, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there are issues with longevity in the end.

Do you miss the sliding doors and massive interior space yet?

That’s just like... your opinion, man.

I know a lot of people love to hate it, but it really does look good, especially in profile and rear quarter view.

I hope that front right tire in the one pic is basically hanging free and not loaded by vehicle weight, because that upper control arm looks just about maxed out.

Are you reviewing over on Outside/Indefinitely Wild as well?

Side in camper tops for trucks are just as waterproof as an old van and likely have more headroom.

If you look at pictures of me when I was 20 vs now at 30, it’s not the same difference, but probably half way, and I don’t use PEDs. I do weigh 75lbs more, though, and that was probably only around 2/3 lean mass of all the gained weight.

Personally I’d choose a truck with a camper top on it as you described over a van every time.

There are two benefits I’ve heard people say as the reason why they use a van over a camper. Otherwise, I agree- the camper is an obvious choice, and what I would choose if I were to do this.

There are parts of the i3 that are... oddly heavy, though. For example, the hatch weighs a ton... more than the hatch on some full sized SUVs. Why? Because it uses a huge cast part in the middle of it, for no logical reason besides to make it rigid enough for the tinted glass cover over most of it..

Is it actually a lady shaver as Jeremy Clarkson used to refer to all EVs as?

For every one of these, there are probably at least 500 deleted (EGR, particulate filters, catalytic converters, and urea systems removed) diesel bro dozers spewing black clouds of particulate every time the throttle is touched. Each one of these is probably doing literally dozens of times the environmental damage per…

If you read Armada you’d know that the gov already has the equipment portion of this covered.
