It really depends on big you’re talking. I think a big part of the appeal for the Sprinter / Transit set is that you’re able to parallel park and stash your car in an overnight city lot. A nice Sprinter RV goes for about $115k off the lot, and they depreciate like wine, not milk (unlike other RVs and trailers).

Thank you. F has seen swings between $4 - $7 since March. If volatility is your game there are lots of ways to live dangerously and potentially make money.

I don’t think the ride is over for this year. Unemployment is brutally high, and the biggest reason people buy a Tesla (for autopilot in the Bay, LA or Seattle) has temporarily become a non-issue for 6 million tech workers.

But when will they be offering the Eddie Bauer edition?

The TRD Pro packages are really just the TRD Offroad package + Fox Suspension + Tires + special colors. Getting the suspension and tires they include installed would be about $6k (and potentially void the warranty) but certainly isn’t as cool as the Sasquatch package.

Guns are one of the most valuable things to steal, because they are easy to sell, and increase 2x - 5x when you sell them without a background check. People that put those flags and signs on their house are making themselves an extremely appealing target.

You’re at an early decision point with your approach to this bike. Do you want to keep it original, or make it a “Restomod”?

Margo Price is a delight. Her music hits a sweet spot to me between folk, pop and country the way Neko Case does.

This is only true in the US, Russia and Europe. There will probably never be a time when you can have a toothbrush mustache or wear a Swastika in the US Russia or Europe without evoking pain, but there are another 6.5 billion people who don’t have the same association.

Is give it another shot and start back in Michigan banging out some of the easier missions and finding trucks and trailers to sell. I put it down 1 hour in and hated it. When I came back to it and got the Scout and an AWD / diff locked hauler it became a blast.

I love features like this when they communicate additional information. For instance, the “blink” that many new brake lights do under hard braking.

The Lexus LS is the Cadillac of our time. A BMW 7 says social climber, a Mercedes E says old money, an Audi A7 says new money, a Cadillac says disability money.... but a Lexus LS says I’ve earned being comfortable.

I wonder of all this Bronco excitement has someone at Nissan thinking about a new Xterra.

I bike to work (or did in the before times) every day, but I love having my Tacoma for back woods camping. My gf has a Fiat 500 that is much more fun and practical for driving around town.

BLM is the Bureau of Land Management. It’s the agency that manages desert lands across the west.

I’ve had a Taco for 4 years and put about $10k into upgrades. To me, “truck stuff” includes being able to take BLM roads and sand at speed and being able to tow a trailer over a mountain pass.

It’s important to teach your children that life is horrifying and full of random tragedy at an early age.

That’s bizarre and frustrating.

Not sure which gen you have, but Magnuson has said their upcoming SC for the Gen 3 will be CARB compliant.
