“proper” driver is irrelevant in this test case since the same driver ran laps in both cars.

lmao i “software dev” (aka check URDs, develop ETLs, build front end UIs, vet releases, kill shit code that is bogging down my DB, try and teach people not to suck, e-fix other people’s fuckups) for a fortune 300 company. if you’re ever in the greater WNY area, let me know and i’ll buy ya a beer. for the record i…

So you clear enough to impulse buy a $150k toy, yet have enough time to be one of the most common commentators on Jalop. I’m gonna guess Aerospace or Software Engineer. Am i close? :)

Ball joint is easy, takes a few hours but with a Bentley manual and/or YouTube it’s really just a matter of unbolting / rebolting. Cost around $100 for an entire new assembly from ECS.

Don’t. Spoken from experience, dip is not worth it if you are looking for a long term solution. It is a fantastic short term alter-able covering, but the upkeep long term is a pain in the ass and not worth it. May as well rattle can and clear over it. My $.02

Spoken like a true Texan. #’merkuh #lonestar (said in commendation)

Jesus, i didn’t realize that was still considered part of the federation even. learn something new every day. looking at photos, seems to have a lot of Japanese influence, very interesting. what were you there for?

how far east btw? we were in Irktusk for a bit when i was a kid, dad worked for FSB

hahaha spasiba for the laugh tovarich. there was a farm that had a few of them near where i grew up (Brasov), they were terrifying. still don’t think they would measure up to a grizzly 1v1

i was under the impression that all brown bears are grizzlies, with the giant ones in Alaska, Nunavut, etc being called Kodiaks. but i may be wrong, i’m not a “bear-ologist” :)

CA as in Canada, not Cali, my fault on poor abbreviation.

what makes you think they were not? they look brown, big as hell, and the author of the video lives in CA, which is home to the grizzly.

1) i believe the phrasing you are looking for is hold water. my comment wasn’t trying to hold anything dear.

do you notice a trend in your comment? dogS plural. not one dog. of unknown breed and temperament. in the old country i’ve seen bear hunts with half a dozen shepherds used to hunt one black bear. not one vs 3 as would be the case here.

not sure what you mean by tree a bear? if you’re referring to someone climbing a tree, a) i have indeed not seen it and b) i refer you to #6 below. also, look as big and large as possible is intended for people out on a trail that are not in a 8x7x22 foot vehicle... you think you’re going to scare him away when the…

great minds think alike, wish i had more than one star to give ya.

Not sure about non-lethal shot man, I’ve seen Grizzes get hit with .357 and just get more pissed off. Rock salt or rubber balls or something may have the opposite of the intended effect.

You are a braver man than I brother, I wouldn’t have left that truck come hell or high water, and I carry a firearm. The one bear that wasn’t taking no shit had to be 6-7 feet tall standing. Sometimes you just gotta admit you’re beat, I would’ve sat there and kept honking, and if they came at me driven the heck away.

i’m guessing you’re from the city? i don’t care if the dog was an Ovcharka, it wouldn’t stand a chance vs one of those grizzlies, let alone 3 of them. and if a 5000 lb truck blowing it’s horn with a dog barking in the cab doesn’t scare them away, the dog out in the open wouldn’t either. it would just be snack.

what would you suggest they should have done differently?
