Thank goodness. This was an attractive nuisance for young dudes who think being a well-off kid with a deathwish is cool.

As a motorcycling buddy says, “An adventure is what you get when things don’t go right. Y’all can keep your ‘adventure tourers’, I’ll keep riding my ‘dual sport’.”

Guess my standards are low, I found Keflavik perfectly fine. Buy your smoked salmon wrap with Euro and you get very pretty and nearly useless Icelandic kroner in change.

An extended cab 6' bed PHEV in fleet trim would be my dream truck, and I’d consider one for my first (and at my age, only-ever) new car purchase.

Every dollar grifted from a wanna-be Bond villain is a dollar not spent on actual villainy. Good luck to these guys.

A couple businesses are trying some Crime Roombas around here, presumably to deter...people who are camera-shy I guess? They’re deployed inconveniently far from any rivers and gullies to push them into.

If you want to expand your driving horizons, you can get your own airport tug:

This! Flavor with a hint of “capable of shutting down a bad situation quickly and firmly” and you have our perfect “don’t sleep on this one” vehicle.

Ah yes, the ever popular “boutique homeless modern bohemian experience” you see on Vacasa. This could also fit the “adverse possession by an estranged family member” esthetic.

Yeah, we apes don’t keep well out there, even in cans.

Yeah, being an unsafe dickhead on a racetrack won’t get tha clicks.

If the bike had hurdled anything while hurtling down the road, it would be hurling him.

That RV tells a tale as old as time:

Neutral: Went from “pipes are frozen” to “frogs are singing” in ~10 days over here. There were terrible wildfires down the road from me a few years ago, an early spring will probably build up lots of undergrowth that’ll dry out real good in a hot summer.

Gonna guess they came around the corner hot, swerved left to miss the hole and didn’t quite make it.

They’ve been consistently “understaffed” since the BLM protests.

How exciting, the entry-level Tesla will arrive just in time for us to charge it with fusion power while we sign up for the GOP’s far superior replacement for Obamacare!

Chaining up has to be at least the second worst part of driving truck, what are they, 70# a wheel? Socks sound interesting, and if they’re plastic they won’t take out anything important when they get wrapped around the axle.

Wait, there are people who don’t use chains? I mean sure, in the salt belt they’re not generally needed, but in the PNW it was “chains required” every winter when crossing the Cascades, only recently changed to “traction devices required” because winter tires are barely sufficient these days.
