He’s driving a Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon, which starts at $39,220 for a 2-door or $42,720 for a 4-door...he’s not a broke college kid and should be able to afford a $250 parking pass.

What if...call me crazy...you put the motorcycle IN the van before shipping the van? I know it would be difficult to arrange, but then you’re only paying to ship one kei van.

Wouldn’t it be negligence on the part of Klim if the airbag didn’t deploy because the wearer’s credit card had lapsed?

80% after 25 years is good. I had never looked up the production capacity, but a friend of mine used to work for a solar tracker company and they advised their customers that they should count on replacing the cells after ~25 years.

3rd Gear:

The average lifespan of a solar cell is 25-30 years, after that point they’ve lost enough capacity that you’re better off replacing them. So the 27 year payoff will line up nearly perfectly with having to replace them all again and be stuck with another payment.

I went looking in Canada a week ago at NAs and NBs and the prices were ludicrous!

There’s a Volkswagen joke in there somewhere, but I’m definitely not going to say it. 

I just saw a new MX-30 a few weeks ago on HWY 401 east of Toronto, apparently being driven by an employee of Mazda Canada.

Christini also offers AWD fatbikes, and used to make an AWD mountain bike. Previously they offered AWD frame kits for Honda and KTM dirt bikes, but I think in more recent years they’ve transitioned to selling complete bikes and the rumour is that the 4-stroke engines are Chinese Honda knock-offs.

I appreciate you sharing your experience.

$15000 is a lot of money, but it kind of has to be. Part of that fee is gas, wear and tear, driver’s pay, maintenance, track time and insurance. Plus some profit has to be made.

My wife and I have been considering getting a truck, but I have two stipulations: the bed must be wide enough to fit a 48" wide sheet of plywood between the wheel wells, and it must be long enough to fit two dirt bikes with the rear tires on the tailgate. If it can’t do both of those things, it offers no more utility…

How do you find the 6? What’s your fuel consumption like? Does it leave you wanting for power?

Is this a troll? This looks like a modern interpretation of some tacky hot rods from the ‘90s and 2000s. It’s got it all: lame engine that’s been decorated with bolt on parts, slushbox, ALL BILLET EVERYTHING, fishing boat seats, useless trunk full of audio equipment, tiki motif, tacky airbrushed graphics...

I figured with how much market share they had and advertising they were doing, they’d be making money hand over fist from just shipping boxes of foam all over the country. I had always heard traditional mattresses had big profit margins and figured these foam mattresses might have found a way to make even more money.…

To save time when someone from the government phones me and says I owe thousands in back taxes, I usually just ask them if they prefer I pay the fine with Amazon gift cards or Bitcoin.

Unrelated to the article, but I didn’t realize Casper was not yet profitable, thanks for that tidbit.

The ZF 9-speed automatic is a popular transmission in these in North America, the same transmission Jeep had all the programming issues with when it launched in the Cherokee.
