Calvin’s dad explanations are the best.

Relax. They’re just testing the bridge. 

Was that a wooden bridge?

The people who fell for the AI image are stupid.

Looks like the same flappy air dam that’s on the Tacoma to bump MPG a bit; luckily it’s really easy to remove.

Nothing says rugged SUV quite like a front spoiler with 4" of clearance and a desktop monitor on the dash. I’m not a Toyota hater. I’ve had three Runners. I’m just disappointed as they have had twelve years to release this and it’s just not as cool as it could be. I’m sure they’ll sell very well. 

Also you get that bullet proof Italian reliability that Alfa Romeo is famous for.

Yeah, but the same money could also get you into one of these that drives even better and has a TON of history and racing pedigree instead...

4th gear: 4 day work weeks

The prices for some of these trucks are obscene. Last year I briefly considered replacing my 25-year-old truck and keeping my 10-year-old sedan. To get an F150 or F250 fairly well equipped, but not even fully optioned, was well into the $70k territory.  I kept my old truck and bought a new car instead.  The old…

Hello, fellow humans! My name is Mr. Realguy Notabear, and I am a professional salmon fisherman. I would like to volunteer my human services in removing the accidentally deposited lunch from this creek. I will use my large, clawed, human hands to swipe the fish out of the creek, then remove them professionally,…

Based on this very tiny corner reveal, my guess is that it looks like a 3/4 scaled Sequoia.

We would accept:

All your base 4Runner are belong to us!

This is a stupid take by someone who CLEARLY doesn’t have all of the facts and is just spewing assumptions out of their ass. There is AUDIO READILY AVAILABLE of the radio communications between the emergency responders, including one of them LITERALLY saying he was going to drive onto the bridge to get the workers as…

Part of the toxicity of the MAGA crowd is the default assumption that anyone with a non-European surname must have questionable legal status, where there’s no evidence that any of the people in question have any less right to live and work in America than Melania and her parents.

From what I’ve read, they did think to warn the crew, but there just wasn’t enough time to get word to them. I’m they will look for ways to improve that communication in the future.

The “they took our jobs” crowd will say it should have been legal US residents doing the work, but I dont see a whole lot of them wanting these god awful jobs. We run on immigrants being willing to do the jobs the rest of us dont want, and for the good or bad, being willing to do it for less pay than we would be…

The conspiracy theories floating around that this was purposeful are wild. A ship purposely knocked down a second-tier bridge in a third-tier city at 1:30 at night by faking a power failure. The rot is real.
