For vehicles no longer in production, it makes some sense. If we’re looking at this list as some sort of buying advice for new cars, how useful is it if the car owners keep the longest is an AMC Javelin? Read more

I wouldn’t trust an app either, but you know what I would trust? The only government agency that regularly manages to not fuck everything up, the USPS. Give everybody a damn mail-in ballot, and ample time to mail it in, or vote early. Voting on one specific day is stupid.  Read more

The 2020 was hideous, but the new one is a damn good looking car.

If you want to get pedantic, the photo is looking south, so no, the 3rd Street Promenade is not in the background of the photo, it’s only on the North side of Colorado Ave which runs in-line with the pier. 

There’s dealer events, and then there’s “dealer events”, in this case I tag along with the local JLR dealer on actual trails to help guide the newbies through trails. Not the stupid obstacle course around the dealer lot, actual trails. Between the new LRs and the old solid axle ones (Defenders, Discos, RRCs), you know… Read more

Eh, seeing as how outdoor dining has been deemed safe pretty much the entire time, and when LA got dragged to court over it they offered zero evidence at all of spread at outdoor dining restaurants, and as much as admitted that they closed restaurants as punishment for citizens gathering in their own homes which lead… Read more

The Sherriff won’t enforce anything, in fact, the brewery is in the same parking lot that Kirk Cameron had his weird caroling protest, but the State liquor board is a different animal. 

We had one slated to open March 15th 2020. They did a soft opening and then, bam!  Read more

Yep, it’s called the Discovery 5, and it sells like hotcakes.

Nah, if we’re talking “as built” the new one will kick the old one’s ass every day of the week in every type of terrain. Adjustable ride height, more than 7 horsepower, traction control, varied throttle response, locking differentials, etc, the new Defender will go just as hard off-road as the Range Rover, and having… Read more

Why would Chipotle start serving cauliflower rice? It just doesn’t make sen...... Read more

Listened to Mackey on JRE, and man, when Joe Rogan thinks you’re a loon, it mite be time for some self reflection.

Not sure if you’re arguing my point, or attempting to make my point? Read more

Toyota would be dumb to spin the 4 Runner off into the LC line-up, it’s already just a gussied up Prado, and the 4Runner has much better name recognition than the Land Cruiser in the States, so what would one achieve with a re-badge? For that matter, the FJ Cruiser has far more offroad cred than the LC these days. Read more

Pretty much every pressure vessel has to “re-cert by” date on it. I’d be shocked if the tanks can’t be tested and re certified. Slightly different animal, but compressed gas tanks for welding have the same “lifespan” but if they get tested they can be certified over and over for pretty much ever. I’ve had them from as… Read more

I assure you, it’s weirder than you think it is. Read more

I thought the driving factor of the super tall hood and grill was to actually save pedestrian lives? Open air under the hood allows room for it to collapse when hitting a pedestrian rather than just bonk their head with the core support. Read more

Weird laws, if that were sold at a dealer it gets titled completely differently than one with a standard box, and technically would have to go through the weigh station every time it passes. At least here in California anyhow. Read more

No, it really only makes sense one way. 

Bought 3 bags of Milanos yesterday, and they had plenty more in stock. However Covid is spiking like a fucking hedgehog around here, and I already have an ample supply of toilet paper I should probably go back for 75 or 80 spare bags, right? Gotta horde something. Read more
