Summarized: TMFTL. Too Much For Too Little!

Ignoring anything else these mods make the truck much more deadly in the case of him hitting a pedestrian.  I’m amazed this is legal in the US?  Is it?  In Australia / UK, EU no way you could do this, police would be pulling you over and ticketing you until you removed it.  Trucks are already dangerous enough to…

Yeah, safety doesn’t seem to be a priority for them

I’m getting old. I read “interior seems worth $85k” and I think that it should look like this

It is the right color.*

My experience having lived and traveled in red areas quite a bit is that people like to complain about having to wear a mask themselves, but don’t care one way or another what you do with your own face.

“The roads in Montana and Wyoming can shut down in the winter and there’s very very long tracks of uninhabited land.”

Is that a fact? I have a hard time believeing the frunk is not required to have the same safety latch, which requries manual input from the outside of the car, as the regular engine cover has. Simply to prevent opening it while driving.

Absolutely this. As someone who did I-80 (Iowa to Oregon) in February of 2018, I passed through no fewer than 3 serious snow storms in two days time. Luckily, I was in a modern car with decent tires.  The more northern routes would have been...not good.

I second this. The roads in Montana and Wyoming can shut down in the winter and there’s very very long tracks of uninhabited land. This is not a place where you want to break down. Head South and then East.

I know its asking a lot, but if this is set in the 80's, those are the wrong Oklahoma license plates on that red GMC.

And the fender bender was the direct result of domestic violence being committed against him. Imagine the genders reversed and a man chasing his wife outside with a golf club smashing out the windows in her car as she tried to escape causing her to crash and injure herself. 

Still find the whole narrative around Tiger a weird indication of how whack and puritan our society is becoming. That whole documentary was like, ‘Tiger, the sad tragic story, his great demise.’ I mean – he’s only the greatest golfer possibly in the history of the sport, an unbelievable success story (and in the face…

Former engine designer here:

“I often spend a few idle minutes wondering what America would look like if air travel went back to being ridiculously expensive and we all just drove to Wally World instead of flying to Hawaii.” 

Here’s the thing.  Big tires?  roof racks?  slight lift?  These are the things that are easily and cheaply solved in the aftermarket.  You know what these models NEED and can’t be provided by the aftermarket?  Transmissions that don’t pull power, overheat and die after 50,000 miles when used off-road.

As a criminal defense attorney, allow me to state first and foremost that the vast majority of police officers are trained pathological liars and that if one of them tells you so much as the time or the color of the sky you should first mistrust and then verify.

I’d like to hear about the NV Energy thing in more detail. I have watched with interest as the bait-and-switch happens.

You nailed it down.
