I’ve got 50k on my XC90 and it feels good as new. The mid 00's Volvos definitely had interior longevity issues but the newest gen stuff is very well built.

Seems like it’s a set of decent tires and a more aggressive suspension tune away from a really fun little ride. So budget in another $2000  and you’re good to go?

Best time to invest your plasma gains is now!!!

Or maybe wait and see? Maybe VW hires a really good team and releases an affordable, fun, and capable EV offroaders? I guess the alternative would be to resurrect the Scout brand as a UTV in the same vein as the Roxor.

Recently on a work trip to Las Vegas I rented a Willy’s Wrangler through Turo. 30 minutes outside of Vegas there’s a whole bunch of amazing off roading. Spent 11 hours in the desert exploring, all for a little over $120 with insurance included. Highly recommended. 

Obvious April Fools Joke is Obvious. 

Well dang. You learn something new everyday. Transit Connect is awesome too. 

The sliding doors were available on the B-max but I didn’t think they came on the C-Max. Not sure if making it more van like was a recipe for success in the US. I think it was because most Ford dealers just didn’t want to sell them. They’d rather get people into F150s. 

Great car but they made the mistake of putting that battery right in the trunk, effectively eliminating the practicality. That’s why I picked up a C-max Energi. Same drivetrain, hatchback versatility. Wish they never got rid of the C-max. I adored that car.

Nice work! Looks waaay better than the last bike you recovered and now you’ve got yourself a sick little street fighter. I would’ve gone with some Kenda K-rad tires but that’s what’s fun about building bikes, you get to make it unique to you. 

Man I loved the Morbius comic run in the early 90's. I snagged the issue where he get’s captured by the psycho surgeon and Spiderman saves him. Super gnarly and creepy for an 8 year old....

I love the Bronco sport but feel like it’s a bit overpriced especially considering now you can get a fully loaded Maverick these days for the low 30s. That’s one with the 2.0t vs the sport’s 3 cyl. It’s the same platform yet the bare bones model starts at close to 8k more than the Maverick. I get it, Ford knows it’s a…

The muppets have sucked since Henson died. Stop trying to make them a thing. They were great in the 70s and 80s. Now it’s just tired.

I’ve been on Starlink for about 5 months after being on DSL for years. It is an incredible improvement. Make sure to download the app in advance and make sure you don’t have obstructions. You need a clear view of the northern sky for optimum performance. Otherwise, you’re connection will drop from time to time. Mine…

This reminds me so much of the early Tool vids. Did Tippet handle the animations for those?

Gwar, Raiders Fans, The Road Warriors, yeah... it’s definitely gonna happen. 

Woof. Not for me. I don’t know what it is about all GM design but I can spot it a mile away and I hate all of it. 

Battery tech is advancing along with renewable energy sources. Lithium isn’t going to be gold standard for batteries for much longer. Coal is getting phased out because it’s just not economically as viable as renewables which continue to drop in price. So... yes, you are right for now. Lithium batteries charged by…

Somehow BMW is going to figure out a way to make their EV drivetrains ridiculously failure prone after 36 months.... I guarantee it. 

The Muppets have sucked for the last 25 years. Just let them die already. SNL is still good, just incredibly inconsistent as it always has been. Try watching a full episode from 20-30 years ago and you’ll find a hefty amount of stinkers in there too. Every generation complains about the SNL of their time and how it…
