Dumb question: We all know that we don’t get some cars due to regulations, mostly emissions and safety.  With emissions out of the way for electric cars, is there a better chance we’d see more models like this?

The Miata in MacGruber

Floridians don’t wear Crocs. Flip flops, 24/7.

Did you know this is a thing? If you have your own private train car you can attach to Amtrak and get yanked around the country.

A random off-road “shortcut”. Whenever possible and time allowing, I like to keep an eye out for little off road routes to add to the trip. In places like Utah where a lot of the land is a grid, it’s easy to hop over to some dirt roads for a couple minutes and take a break from the highway. In other places maybe it’s…

I’d prefer to go the other way: make my old Cruiser look even older via FlexDream conversion

Agreed.  That was just my only theory on how it makes sense.

Basically the Land Cruiser was built for international markets, including those where a really robust and tough vehicle are needed: think Australia and South America. The Sequoia was build for the U.S. where it didn’t need to be as tough and over built. Same comparison as the Hilux to the Tacoma.

Now that they share…

The way the math (kinda) works in my head is you never recoup the money spent in an AirBnB. But you can theoretically get some back from a camper. I bought a $7K camper, have had it for 5 years and can sell it for $7K. But you still often have to pay something to camp places. I guess you have to spend a LOT of time in…

Damn, my dented, usually dirty, ripped seat truck with more than 2 stickers is tacky.  Guess I oughta sell it!

Not going to work for me. My glove box is PACKED with gloves.

I’m fine with the richies getting in on the fun. If it keeps the businesses rolling and the products evolving, it’s all good. The WORST part of the overlanding culture IMHO is the stupid “Tires and Tents” type meetups. What is less outdoorsy they meeting in a parking lot and seeing who has the most gear.  Lame.

I had one of those for a bit.  Nice little camper!

I don’t know if it’s a good price or not, but I 100% would take it over the Maserati.

I miss my 85 900 SPG.  I drove it from FL to all over the west of the US.  Shoulnd’t have let that one go.  So, for my nostalgia, I give it a NP.

Travelled to Iceland this year and kept yelling out “Jimney!”. My gf didn’t know what the hell I was talking about.

Toyota Hiace vans. Surely extremely boring to locals, I wish we could be bored with them in the U.S.

Who gets rid of a car after 50K miles?

LEAKED.  Oh.  I thought it said LEAKS.

I was a dumb kid at 24 when I got my first loan on my own.  I got a 96 Toyota Tacoma 2wd that came with a 26% loan.  I didn’t know any better and got suckered.
