Yep. I owned a D2 (and still long for another one), and love the look of the P38's, but even I have my limits.

I don’t think EV’s are going to destroy the oil/gas industry. They’re just going to change where it’s burned. Instead of millions upon millions of small engines burning it, it’ll be used in power plants. 

Eh, I think that oil will still be sold/extracted, but instead of being poured into cars, it’ll get poured into oil-burning plants which generate the electricity for cars.

Regulation is the key, I think, and a ban on private ownership of autonomous vehicles is probably the best solution. Use mass-transit solutions (buses/trains) to go between neighborhoods/cities, and then within cities themselves, restructure them to be friendly to walkers and/or publicly-owned autonomous vehicles. The…

My 2014 Jeep GC gets me 550 miles/tank in the winter, and about 610 in the summer. Now, 90% of my driving is highway, but even when I’m doing only city driving, I still get at least 500 miles per tank. 

I think you mean “car was recently washed.”

Vastly cheaper: get rid of Airport security which has proven to be racist and ineffective, and go back to letting people fly freely, albeit with a larger number of air marshals and bomb-sniffing dogs in airports.

I once watched a lady stand in the way of the gate and argue loudly with the attendants that her clearly-too-large-to-fit wheelie case was ‘close enough’ and ‘didn’t need to be checked.’ It was an obnoxious delay to our flight.

I’d say it’s more because, if you’re poor? You’re crazy. You only get to be ‘odd’ or ‘eccentric’ if you’re right.

or just go to other people parked on the street and offer to pay to have their cars wrapped in various colors. Equally viable.

This is the moment for the community to come together...

This is why I don’t ever want to be in an autonomous car. At least not for a few decades. This is an industry which still seems to consider “security through obscurity” a valid business model. I don’t want to own a car that can receive notifications from other cars, given the possibility for those notifications to be…

The big decider will be is if it’s $5 and I can renew it 2-3 times before paying again, or if I have to pay $5 at each renewal. Personally, I’m fine with $5 and 2-3 renewals, since that will sell a majority of vehicles, and cut down on the bots/crap posts. Even if it’s $5/mo for your car’s listing, most people won’t…

I anxiously await videos of these guys going heel/toe in 4" stilettos.

Yeah... privatized toll lanes are awful, and usually only good if you work for, or own, a company that runs privatized toll systems.

If you’ve taken either of those vehicles down dirt roads, you’ve done 98% more than 99.99% of Raptor/Rubicon’s in existence, so kudos for that. 

I don’t drive a Wrangler. I do own a wk2 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but we’re basically the redheaded step children of the Jeep community. They leave us out in the cold with the Liberty owners. An ‘84 Hilux would explain the lack of speed. Is yours a diesel, or gas? I’d wager a 4 cylinder either way...

I stare at used Raptor’s, since they’re starting to get cheap, but as much of a bastard as I am? I’m not nearly enough of a douche to drive a Raptor. :( 

How slow can you possibly be going that a 4.0 I6 can tail gate you? Are you the Prius driver camping in the left lane at 15 under?

I suspect this happens a lot. One of my project cars I had was how the guy contended with his divorce. She left him, so he took two weird cars, and merged them, then sold the combination of the two for the cost of one of the cars. He had a great project, I got a great abomination.
