It’s dumb to drive trucks for everything with $5 gas but in AR square feet are pretty cheap, so why not... Simply have more than one automobile! This is a good excuse for beginning a car collection, with your pickup truck and a 4 cylinder stick car that is not using forced induction or particularly high compression…

Vans are a pain in the butt to work on, pickup trucks are super easy to work on because you can pop the cab off and the front clip in not very much time and work on whatever you like if you have a 2 post lift. Not to mention there’s actually room for hands in the engine compartment if it’s a gas engine one.

Did you misplace your goalpost?

Converting one compressed format to another reduces the quality no matter what you do. To retain good quality you want to compress the .wav, not a mp3 to something else.

They still make nice android tablets with sd cards, I use these on long trips for music. The infotainment system in my trucks also does FLAC from flash drives, I use that too.

In 2002 you could get a Creative Nomad Zen something or another with a 60GB hdd.

The crewcab bench is a hell of a dog bed. 

You don’t have to have a nazi wagon, you can buy 9th generation accords with 17.4 gallons fuel tanks (american gallons not imperial). You can spec F150 with a 36 gallons tank too. It was a $400 option when I ordered mine a few years ago.

To always be able to charge at home you’d need redundant generators and ideally ones that run on different fuels, eg a natural gas or propane one and another that is diesel.

For many  people, but for some of us don’t care at all. I keep a stick 4 banger around in addition to the trucks for times such as these.

My Accord has a 17.4 gallon tank and a 6spd, it gets 650 on long trips routinely and 700+ on good days.

My 2014 accord 6spd has a 17.4 gallons tank and routinely turns in 650+ miles on long trips per tank, my 36 gallons F150 does the same thing but even more if speed below 80 mph average.

My F150 (not hybrid, 3.5 tt) gets 590 miles driving around my town to a tank. It gets 700+ on the highway.

I don’t want a Ferrari but I bought my F150 because some things do not fit in an Accord, it doesn’t trailer things very well, and the windows in the back don’t go down all the way. In my ‘16 luxobarge f150 fx4 the windows go down all the way, this brings indescribable glee to my German Shepherd dogs. I have 2 16…

That’s a great cautionary tale about marrying militantly religious people.

My family started me on the farm in an ‘66 F100 with a 3 on the tree, after that I tried a 92 explorer in a church parking lot, then a 89 dustbuster van, then a 92(?) ford probe, all in the same parking lot. After that my mom put me in her 1965 Mustang and we went driving around town. When I didn’t hit anything the…

They say the same thing to defensive backs, ends, and linebackers in American football. I’ve also heard it bandied about on baseball fields.

Preach, DC v. Heller was a watershed case.

I do every 6 years! I buy 5 tires at a time, they usually age out before they get worn out.

You can it just doesn’t seem to result in anything.
