Earlier this year?? This year began 8 days ago. But earlier *last year*, the XD wasn’t discontinued but rather the diesel option was discontinued.

Nissan already does make cars people want to buy. The problem isn’t with nissan. The problem is with their dealerships. I had to go to six of them before I found one that wasn’t awful lying sacks and had something in stock to buy.

Good luck finding a toyota tundra that doesn’t have dents either, particularly in the tailgate. Tacomas dent easily too. I don’t know if they are using some soft metal. My mechanic says “they don’t even use recycled beer cans”. I bought a new tacoma last december and within a month it had a dent on the body that I…

I think that’s a reasonable asking price for that especially since there’s people out there that don’t want all the computers now. Sort of like magnetic media, older vehicles have a market that’s willing to pay more for it. I really like the brush guard and come to think of it, I don’t recall ever seeing a Montero or…

Crazy, crazy idea, I know, but what about instead of trying to unionize to stand up to Goliath for rights you don’t really have, why not band together and contribute money to form a competing video platform. Preferably one that is member-owned (a co-op) where members elect their leadership and have say in policies…

Gatorade bottle, my friend.

I had a stick shift Tundra, that at the time, was one of 5 available to buy in the entire country. I drove it for 15 years and by the time I bought a new truck, I was pretty much done with shifting gears. That was okay in my younger days, before there was a red light every 300 feet but it has gotten old. The novelty…

My county has remote trash sites with recycling. One time I ran into someone who worked with the recycling center as I was dropping off and he taught me a lot about the process and pointed out things that I was “wishcycling” (very accurate!) such as paper dog food bags that were lined with some plastic coating that…

I’ve been vegan for 4 years and I’ve had beyond burgers from the grocery store but I have yet a beyond or impossible burger from a restaurant. I’m glad to see them so other people can reduce their meat consumption but I haven’t felt the urge to go get one myself.  I think what it would take for me to go to a burger…

Your battery is down to 33% at noon?!

My vehicle is on the most stolen list. Luckily I have The Club (I’m not kidding)

In the US, we have this thing called 90+ degree weather and this other season called winter and it takes a lot longer to heat and cool the cabin of a cargo van than it does a pickup.

Of course not.

I sold a house about a year ago and there were multiple offers that came in but hardly anyone was putting down any money. They were all 0-5% down payments. People were probably buying more house than they could afford, putting hardly money down and then ending up with gargantuan monthly payments. I think I’ve seen…

Consuming them is strictly optional and you’re under no obligation to do so.

These companies do zero advertising outside of maybe social media and press releases, they have hardly any retail presence and if they do, it’s shoved off into a dimly lit corner next to the bags of frozen haddock. The 8 packages of beyond burgers that disappear after I buy two of them and maybe 6 other people clear…

So that’s what this is about. You don’t want to suffer alone with your rubber chicken. Misery loves company.

A day or two?

One of the neat tricks of having experience with a 100% plant based diet is how adaptable one can really become. What meat eater would ever think to have a can of beans for lunch or piecing together side dishes in a pinch or just skipping some meals and making up the difference later when you get home. And it’s…

Even when it was sold in the US, the cressida was pretty rare. My dad had 3 of them. It was the only one I ever saw.
