Same, except I used four ratchet straps, which has the advantage of being slightly less expensive, and has every other disadvantage you can think of, and several you might not guess.

Awesome! Now instead of just unfolding a tent on the ground and blowing up an air mattress I just need to build a barn. Too easy.

It’s not any worse than all of those weird Chinese companies all over Amazon. OCHBOOGIE is a very trusted brand here.

I have made a $22,400 monthly payment for a car. The term was 0% and the duration was 1 month. It’s actually not that bad. 

The best way to have money is to possess a lot of it.

Oh. Do you drive a Tesla?

You’re telling me a has-been website published a bunch of crap to get clicks?

I can’t fault the core logic.

Well, they will let any idiot publish their mindless bleatings on the internet.

baby-steps? hi-oh!

If Car Talk taught me anything, it’s that Dads are the #1 propagators of automotive misinformation.

So his advice tracks.  

I could never understand why you’d willingly sacrifice transmitted power, precision control and gas-mileage in favour of a slushy, unresponsive and unpredictable system

I lived in Scotland for 6 months. The switch to left-hand shifting was almost intuitive. The shift pattern is the same and the pedals are in the same order. It was very little effort. Human minds are amazingly capable of adapting.

I would say that manuals now tend to get worse gas mileage... but until recently you'd be right

In Murica, we will still let drunks drive because if they truly lost the ability, they would be unemployed. Thus “conditional” or limited use. That is how far down the Automobile dependency rabbit hole that any “standard” that keeps folks from driving is considered evil -antiMurican. Manual-speced driving licensing,

Did your dad also hand-crank start his own cars? ‘Cause that is actually how you start a car? It’s more “engaging” and causes you to “actually learn about governing the engine”.

These seem to be synonymous with the drop and hook trucking companies. Less of a concern if you’re keeping the rig together from stop to stop.

Strange take.

Ugh, I need to do the lower 8 on my truck. Whatevs, it’s only 5K overdue.
