The real key is to constantly be screaming HAKKAPELITTA!! at all your confused passengers while your shitbox FWD sedan cruises around all the stuck Subarus on the way up to Eisenhower Tunnel.

This. Drove my 1st gen MR2 through several Vermont winters on them.  They are the best snow tire.  That car was the most fun I ever had driving in snow.

They also wear and drive pretty well otherwise. I’ve been shocked how long mine have lasted. (Then again, my previous snow tires were Pirellis)

Let me reframe it for you. The actual monetary expense of the fines, towing, and then repairs to the vehicle after it is found, are the smallest part of the real expense to this individual.  He has just earned ‘special attention’ from Johnny Law.  And trust me.  That is a real thing.  Which you DO NOT want.

Your property is purchased with money and unless you’re close to a fed money tap, just some ordinary person, you earn that money with your time. Time that represents a portion of your life.

“Hey Siri, how long do parents have to wait before declaring their kids missing if I kidnap them?”

Yea I was kinda scared to look that up on my work computer lol. There had to be some truth to that waiting period though

“a hero when they stop an armed robbery by physically attacking the robber.”

It looks nice but is basically an expensive reinvention of any number of off road camper designs with a less useful interior and an overloaded vehicle unless they increased the GVWR with firmer springs. 

Annoying fact: The extended cab can only be had w/ a manual in Sport guise. I’d love for the TRD Offroad and/or TRD Pro in extended cab and manual combination.

Forget the Nazis. Antisemitism and open exclusion of Jews from all sorts of things was common across the U.S. as well. Back then it was perfectly legal.

Anyway, the Goldberg family was very rich, and yet, the family changed its name....There is no clear indication as to what inspired the name change, but Ruth Goldberg clearly loved the ring of it—so much so that she changed her own surname to match it.

A few years ago you could get a decent tent for less than a grand. Those days are over. At $1000, it’s pretty compelling if you want to take a few kids with you. The main reason is that when you have to pack a tent, and kid stuff, and pads, and blankets and etc etc...its adds up both in volume of stuff and the time it…

There are no hotels where i usually go. Ive spent about 25 nights out in desert/mountains the last few months with 2 more ocming this weekend. There aint no hotels out there.

The Skycamp is a bit unique among roof top tents. It folds out similar to the soft shell tents you show, but it has a hard shell. The shell flips to one side, and I had that side windward, and with the strut locks in place, the hard shell protected me from the wind without closing on me.

I feel qualified to chime in here. I have camped atop my vehicle in a RTT (a first generation Skycamp) during inclement weather. The worst was a few years ago, trackside at Gingerman. Wind and record-setting rain overnight, and I was comfortable and dry (until I had to use the porta-john).

Rory man, we need to get you out west to try out that tent proper. I feel like you can’t render an opinion on an RTT until you’ve slept in one in bad weather, especially the wind.

I have the same tent. The RTT’s big advantage to me, is being able to leave your bedding in there, shut the top, drive to another campsite and put the top back up.

I love my RTT. It’s not a Roofnest, but was similar in price (at the time - the website currently has the updated model listed for ~ $4k)

cant you have it taken off, and stored where you store your summer/winter tires
