You’re way off, how many white people killed by police become household names? Zero. Media barely covers it. The fact that you’re hearing about this story here while CNN is silent speaks volumes and discredits everything you said.

If anyone bought a bronco because they could get it with 35 inch tires instead of 33 on the wrangler they were never going to buy a wrangler. I can walk into any dealership near me and buy a brand new jl with 35 inch tires and lift and warranty.

However, the Fluke multimeter on the floor next to the driver’s seat makes me wonder if confirms that there are electrical issues.

The “van life” crowd found out about retired ambulances, and that drove the prices up, but an ambulance of this generation can still be found for 5 grand or so and the “conversion” here doesn’t look like it entailed much. Those cabinets are just left over from its previous life.

Almost guaranteed with an old ambulance.

This is nifty, no doubt.

Maybe they do, they just are reported on as frequently.

When you consider how many freighters there are out there, how big and unwieldy they are, how long they take to stop, how many need to maneuver in the same small areas at the same time, and frankly how often they simply aren’t maintained as well as they should be, it amazes me that these types of incidents don’t…

Pretty much where I’m at. I’m not saying I recommend the response, but I most certainly do not empathize with the thief here.

Literally this. 

Probably because it’s a transgression of one of the oldest tenets of polite society: the violation of another’s family, pet or vehicle. Or, as it was taught to me back in the caveman era, “you do not fuck with another man’s girl, dog or ride.”

How much sympathy did you have for the rental car companies last March when all their reservations dried up and they had to sell cars to stay afloat?

Or ya know, they could bring down the prices of rental cars so they are more affordable than uhauls.

If you want to get around the Big Island and see more than a resort, a rental car is the only reasonable way to do it. I would be infuriated if I was a resident, but it’s hard to blame tourists for choosing a legal and economical option.

Donks and Squatters are definitely not my thing, but this law fails the Footloose Test.  Clearly the law exists because people hate the look and, maybe, the people driving these trucks.  Otherwise it would have been written differently.  Show me some empirical evidence of a safety issue and we can talk.

That’s the problem with just regurgitating press releases...

Counterpoint: it’s literally slower than a Camry.

.....Park...?

I was going to say the same thing. It’s a pretty well known company in boating. Maybe it’s a new model? Either way, they are pretty much essential to those into the live-aboard lifestyle.
