Leaving taste aside, it feels like he used the wrong truck as the starting point. For the amount of steel he has hanging off of this thing, it would look a lot better on a super duty or an Excursion.

I saw Mr. Garrison as a stand in for Trump voters who were ready to have things go back to “normal”, and being stuck out on the tundra as a metaphor for social isolation from friends and family. 

That warms my heart.

Just read it. Thanks for sharing!

Support the Amazon union vote. Don’t cross the digital picket line.

That’s a great call. It’s basically a real life rendering of the short story “The Machine Stops”, which is totally Black Mirror fodder.

This bed is a monument to voluntary celibacy.

Yes and no. When the stock market gets detached form reality, reality still finds a way to catch up with the stock market.

Another thought, and I accept that this might be far fetched:

There is decent reason to believe that the shutdown is related to the chip shortage that is currently putting the hurt on just about every industry. I wonder if the C8 shutdown is why Biden got upset about it yesterday?

Jason - you’re not crazy. “Good” driving would have been slowing down to follow the truck, or merging into right lane. What’s show here is AutoPilot creating a “near miss”.

Busted. You haven’t experienced the majesty of tape until you’ve heard it through a 9 speaker Mark Levinson sound system.

In my humble opinion, the G-Wagen rides worse than the JL. The Land Cruiser definitely wins on comfort.

Good point. I think it’s fair to call the Defender direct competition.

I’d wager you’re right, but it’s not body on frame. 

It will probably change fairly soon. The average age of a factory worker in China is 36. The one child per family policy was in place until 2015. They are heading toward a demographic cliff with the rest of the world.

Sounds about right. The closest competition for an off-road capable, V8, BoF SUV are the Land Cruiser and the G-Wagon; by those standards it’s a bargain. If your heart truly desires a V8 Jeep to own for posterity, this seems like the thing to get.

They did, but it’s back as a 2021.

Thanks for sharing. It sounds like a noble pursuit.

These are great recommendations. Thank you.
