Hemingway here and the liver function tests keep coming back all smiley faces, much to my amazement. I avoid Sun Valley though.

Some of those places I would hesitate to ride my mountain bike, let alone my 250. Great drone work too.

And if you did explode into a cloud of bald eagles what could be more American than being prosecuted by the Department of Justice for violating the Endangered Species Act. (not to worry, it’s only a misdemeanor)

CP, unless that asking price includes the less than palatial single-wide trailer.

I am shocked that this comment did not relegate you to the light of grey. Maybe there’s hope on Jalopnik. Surely not on Gawker.

It’s the functional equivalent of watching Tiger Woods double bogey (yet another) hole.

There is another auction coming up July 1 with several LMTVs from around the country on offer. This video makes it seem like you can just drive it down the highway no problem. I would like to know if anyone has registered one of these and whether anyone would insure it even if you could register it. I’m guessing you…

All great questions, but who cares! It is the most amazing Sienna ever. Weld the doors shut! Roll up to the soccer field in that and doors will open. So to speak.

Noooooooooooooooooo! Read on though. Turns out you can’t really road register the Humvees so the $35K I sunk into a Wrangler is still good. But you make a good point. WTF is it with these people asking near new prices for 20K mile Wranglers? Insane. Worse than the Toyota Tacoma crowd.

Has this been cross-posted to Fortress America? I’m holding out for a MRAP.

D’oh. Doesn’t even sound right. Thanks for pointing it out. Should be Piper Super Cub.

As long as I get the aisle seat with no one in the middle you’re the nicest guy on earth as far as I’m concerned.

I pay the $300 to fly to Portland rather than take that mind-numbingly slow cruise through the desert from Idaho. And it’s not like you can really go 70 either, they enforce their dumbass speed limit.

In the 80s there was an infamous rich-guy hunter in Alaska that would fly beater Cessna Cubs into places he could not fly out of, crash land the plane, shoot his sheep or goat and pack it out.

I went water wading with my 1991 Great Divide Edition. Which BTW was left out of the timeline above. I did not intend to really do the water wading thing, but crossed a small stream near Valdez, Alaska, to get to some snowboarding spot. On the way back the sun had come out and increased the snow-melt such that the…

Trail-Rated (tm)? We don’t got to show you no stinkeen trail...

On Southwest my favorite trick is to walk down the aisle and find a mean looking guy with a tear-drop tattoo on his face sitting in the window seat. Then I sit in the aisle seat. This works best if the bad guy is near the front. If the plane is not full the rest of the passengers will filter to the back and avoid the…

Indeed. The rural western state where I live is full of rednecks driving brand new pickups and Mormon Personnel Carriers (Chevy Suburbans) paid for on our agricultural subsidy tax dime. Which is not to say there are not poor people at the monster truck events. But I think it’s not the norm. Also I am now inspired to…

It’s art. A performance piece paid for at great expense. A metaphor for how the car culture of America implodes on itself, when our global oil-return fails us and we melt into the pavement like so many cheap Japanese plastic fairing panels. It is exquisite and should be a competitor at the Sundance Film Festival next…

Agreed. And none of the commenters seem too concerned with the spring-over lift. That’s just 2 guys, 4 new longer shocks and a case of Shiner Bock. Maybe a spring-over is OK, but I’d want a real lift kit before handing over more than $5K.
