In my hometown hunting became labeled as an ‘uncivilized redneck’ behavior. So people stopped hunting bears, the bears eventually lost their fear of humans and now they rummage freely among the garbage. It looks a lot like the tracks. 

I got an article idea for you, right here !!! Using your automatic in a non automaticackle way to maximise your driving pleasure and regain some semblance of control over your life. You don’t just have to ‘obey the robot’, you can make some decisions by yourself. 

There is a possibility that this guy is driving the ‘car of his dreams’ in that it only ever existed in a dream state. It kinda sounds like an arranged marriage. The groom swaggers into it with wild expectations of unlimited .... ahem...favours and......hoo boy, the reality is different.

I did note the front tires are not doing much. I’ll tell you the story about my buddy with a ‘4wd is over rated 4wd’ and the secret manual locking hubs one day.

Snowflake symbol?

Up here in snowy Northern Japan I drive on snow/ice roads all the time. I quickly learned that not all 4WD systems are equal. I find that most Japanese cars are quite good, Audis are supremely excellent and big American trucks (specifically an older Lincoln Navigator) are absolute garbage in the snow. They somehow…

I love trivia like this. Meanwhile at Dodge.........

James Steelman, is a serious power name. I feel compelled to arch my eyebrow and point with finger guns when I say it. Shame he is such a loser. 

“jet skis” are financial planner buzz words for “bad investments.” For example: After Mom dies let’s take our inheritance and buy jet skis.” or “Let’s jet ski the shīt out of out our startups operating capital.”

China is light years ahead of America as far as electric cars go. America keeps building what ‘the consumer wants’ which is body on frame OHV V-8 cast iron block ICE engined trucks. China, on the other hand tends to  look at the bigger picture. 

My first take on the Grenadier was the juxtaposition (finally getting to use that word, possibly even correctly) of the super old school, bullet proof reliable chassis and a modern BMW powerplant. It is like taking a Toyota land cruiser and giving it to a meth addict to deliver mail in. Something is going to go…

Designed for post WW2 mildly malnourished British physiques. I know a guy who needed the seat tracks to be moved back in his 110. He kinda fits, but the rear seats now have 911 level legroom. Silly car, for sillier times.

It was probably for cheapskates who liked to loan out their corvettes to people.

If it wasn’t for that damn pipeline we’d all be snortin’ blow off high end hookers asses in twin CAT diesel V-12 90' Sportfishermen Yachts off the coast of Miami right now. but no !!! Here we are......

I was wondering why diesel generators were exempt. Then I remembered:

I’m all in favour of the shift away from ICE engines to battery. The only downside thus far is how much easier it has become to steal catalytic converters using battery powered angle grinders. 

No regrets on the cars, just regrets on the financial choice once made by young me when buying one. Which I have not repeated.

A friend of mine, who is a flight attendant, to give you an idea of his appearance and demeanour, and drives a clean family car, gets pinged by cops about once a month. He says they see him, him, not the car, and shadow him hoping to get an easy score. It is beyond acceptable that cops do that.

The cops ALWAYS find a way around those rules. Many States ban Pig Departments from having ticket quotas. All the cops have to do is change the name to “policing effectiveness ratio” and business as usual. All the cops have to do is not use any reasons on the above list and ... business as usual. They’ll just stick to…

Looking at the old Speed-of-Justice-O-Meter, I can say that this kid must have been extremely white. Not just regular white, but movie vampire white. Maybe even “Daddy plays golf with the Judge” level white.
