They are seriously- as you alluded to- made out of crap. My Dad for whatever reason buys a different camper about every 10 years. The first few we had when I was a kid were all 25-30 footers. Made out of fiberboard and really thin plywood. The first one we had wound up getting a leak that we didn’t catch until the end…

Seconded.

3rd Gear: I’ve long felt that traditional RVs are basically like boats. The best days of ownership are the day you buy it and the day you sell it. My parents have owned many throughout the years and all of them have been money pits. These things are made by the lowest bidders using the cheapest parts attempting to…

At some point in the last 3-4 years, everyone decided that the best internet memes are the most pointless ones that make the least sense. I’m 25, and I don’t get it either.

Yeah, the MotoAmerica event was postponed from July to October. This is part of “Speedfest” which is going down October 23-25. 

Agreed on both counts... I will be looking for this. And MotoGP coming back is just the kind of morale boost I need right now

This is, in my book, the best kind of stupid there is. I 100% look forward to how ridiculous this will be. Since this is in support of MotoAmerica, you’ll probably have to get their video pass online, or watch through Fox Sports 2.

That’s great that you are making an additional sacrifice to help your daughter!

Also in KC.
I often ask my drivers about this sort of thing.  At least 90% have a similar response.

Whee, an extra $500 a month for tuition!

3rd Gear: I drive for Uber and Lyft on the weekends in Kansas City for extra cash. Well, I did before the pandemic. Haven’t been out since February. I typically drive 10-12 hours Friday night and Saturday night. I would typically earn $250-$300 each night and put on around 200 miles each night in a 2017 Acadia that…

Option package pricing “closer to launch,” was all I could learn. I don’t think it will be $10,000... maybe more like... $3,999. Could be even less, really. FX4 is only a couple grand on some Rangers and F-Series models.

And why doesn’t every vehicle have one?

“ethnic intimidation” = “being non-white around someone who is terrified of everyone who is not white”. It’s like an agoraphobe trying to sue the outdoors for being there.

Dude, just become a licensed mechanic already. Establish a mechanic collective. Share a garage where you can work on one of your cars sometimes and work on other people’s jalops to pay for the port space. Get permission to do stories on customers jalops. Make videos. Make some cash.

making it a fitting Swanson to the Jaguar legacy

Gonna need this image a lot in these comments I think.

I’ve been meaning to get around to explaining that for a while.

1. I took on a few freelance projects that have sapped my time.
2. My wife’s job changed a bit and doesn’t have the freedom that it once did.
3. Because of 1 and 2, the trailer isn’t done yet. It’s functionally all there, but the interior hasn’t been…

Can confirm already full of pebbles that will sit against the paint for the lifetime of the car I bet

This. No one will ever take pics behind the weird arches, but you guys will.
