I like how we can just see the tip of Steve Bannon’s nose in this 2017 photo.

I wonder if that was one of Matt Iorio’s old cars.

I’ve definitely heard “a cross thread is a tight thread” in the past!

I was looking had at it to replace our family’s Kia Sedona, but the issues you mentioned (especially $$) and the lack of fold away 3rd-row seats (RWD) were deal killers.

I posted this too! Should have looked through the comments first. I really like this concept.

Very cool. Reminds me of this elegant aerial ropeway. Same basic idea, using the downhill load to return the empty containers back to the top of the hill.

I miss mine (enough that it’s my avatar pic), but I bought it and sold it for <$500. This one’s price is off by an order of magnitude.

I think I’ll skip Level 2, sounds too much like being the passenger while my teenagers are driving. It is not relaxing!

Second generation Kia Sedonas have a very similar spare tire location. The tires lowers from beneath the feet of the 2nd row RH passenger.

Now I want to go dust off my RC-10! Concur on the old RC stuff. Always wanted a Mugen Bulldog.

I could have used a couple extra inches of ground clearance on a Yellowstone road trip a couple year ago in our ‘09 Sedona. We’ve done plenty of groomed gravel in it, but driving the dirt road north out of Mammoth Hot Springs that leads to the north gate entrance (~4 miles) I had to get out and walk at least one…

1986 Jeep Comanche: bought for $4200 of a used car lot in 1994, complete loss (dumb kid purchase)

Car (and car-adjacent stuff) on YouTube that I dig, in no particular order:

Person 1, with label maker: “What kind of fish is this?”
Person 2: “Fresh rockfish, idiot”
Person 1: “Copy that”
