But only if it agrees with you and you are non-violent. If you want to occupy and damage a federal wildlife refuge by armed force then you’re fighting the good fight...

So old ford trucks have a habit of a failing ignition switch. They’ll still key power to the fuse block, but won’t fire the starter solenoid.

All the stars to you good sir!

Thanks for another good article (as always Terrell), I really do appreciate your unique perspective and insight.

Congratulations! I thought I had been seeing more of you during the week, but figured I might just be crazy.

I’ve got a 12 focus hatch that is US built and the build quality is shit compared to my previous 01 ZX3 Focus that was made in Mexico, also shit compared to my Canadian made Ford Flex and still shit compared to my Malaysian made Honda bike. Made in the US does not make it better. I loved my previous car and I’ve only…

I love the sloths, but curse you for linking to that video of scout crash tests. I know have to think of that when my wife rides with me in my 79 Scout...

It didn’t help the St Louis fans remember him since he was(is?) an asshole. Around these parts the Cardinals are generally very friendly, happy to sign autographs and generally very pleasant and involved in charity work.

I’ve always hated the in trunk placement too, the back of my vehicles is almost never empty.

Excellent truck engine, I’ve owned a couple and am on the hunt for another.

I had planned a similar move. St Louis to Seattle. I had a couple job offers up there and was about to move and decided to pause and think about it. I ended up getting an awesome job here and while I love the job I feel like a missed an opportunity.

I too am a system admin, and you are generally correct. It does always boggle my mind when machines like this (or hospitals) are connected to the internet! It is pretty easily to segregate machines, or heavily restrict them and generally prevent this.

Glad to know I’m not the only one who beeps the horn. I finally bought a new CB500x and the turn signal and horn are in the opposite place of my old 70s hondas. I’ve been riding that thing two weeks and still hit the horn when I want to turn!

The main issue is that modern engines don’t fit in the low hood 2a jeeps. It wasn’t until 71 that they came with a v8 or straight 6. No modern straight 6 will fit into a pre-70 CJ with the firewall intact, some v8 engines will, but not all.

I too have an unhealthy desire for some mid/early 70s enduro gooodness.

Mine too!

I know he did it last year with the Cherokee. It’s just not practical to do it with a 70 year old Jeep that was never meant for prolonged highway stretched.

That should have been the plan to begin with- tow it out there and trash it on the trails and tow it back. Off roading is a whole lot more fun than “highway speed” in an old jeep.

I used to umpire high school baseball when I was a young man. I could usually dodge wild pitches easily. I got caught by a ball twice, both on foul tips. One right off the face cage and I didn’t stop hearing that damn bell ring for two days. The other I caught in the throat. I was wearing just a mask and holding a…

It is definitely a lot easier than it used to be. The trouble is relying on one as your only form of transportation is still a bit iffy.
