I don’t know about NZ, but in Australia they make you convert to RHD anything imported that isn’t a vintage vehicle. I met a guy who wanted a Viper, but couldn’t afford the conversion. He had a vintage LHD convertible Caddy though. Can’t remember how old it has to be to avoid conversion. It surprises me that in the…

I saw one out in the wild and thought it was an odd looking Ford Explorer. 

You are dead right about simplicity. I was seriously thinking of trading my very low mileage 2015 JKU for a Bronco until I read this review. Electronic hand brake? I don’t think so. Electronic shifting among a bunch of terrain modes? I won’t be able to remember what they do without getting out the manual. No, not…

The grey thing happened to me on Earther recently after years of helpful comments and never any aggression towards commenters or even the bad writing (at times) for which I held my tongue, or keyboard as the case may be. Even in the face of outright lies. I recognize your burner name here and can attest you’ve…

So you took the time to go read the actual SCOTUS opinion and discover the facts (none of which were in dispute) for yourself rather than rely on the blog writer’s version and a bunch of incoherent speculative comments. And for that you get a whole two stars, one from me. In this whole string of comments I found maybe…

Lange has not been convicted. He moved to suppress the evidence of his intoxication (3x the legal limit) based on a violation of the 4th Amendment which was denied and he appealed it all the way up the California chain then to the SCOTUS. It’s back at the trial court now for fact finding. Also he lives in Sonoma, so…

Is there any actual evidence he was drunk driving?

I assumed his family is tied up in the outback somewhere where there’s lots of dingos.

The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services would beg to differ. https://www.des.nh.gov/sites/g/files/ehbemt341/files/documents/2020-01/bb-49.pdf

Given the Suburban’s notoriously bad gas mileage, how much are you really saving over driving say a Honda and staying in Super 8 or Motel 6 level hotels?

I suppose there’s valet parking for under-buckets only.

It should have been a slideshow. If only there were more slideshows! 

I had assumed you’d be better off with diesel in Africa or SA. But I have read tons of adventure sport motorcycle trips through both of those continents and most gas problems can be avoided with an in the tank bag filter and gas line filters. 

Someone needs to come up with a wrap that is essentially a Faraday Cage. I don’t care what it looks like. Windows might be a problem. Put something in the tint maybe.

I am keeping my Jeep for the rest of my life. No screens. Only thing it tried to get ahold of was my contacts in order to install the bluetooth handsfree speaker. Not happening. Bought some “smart” plugs from Costco last week. Would not install unless I gave up my contacts and revealed security data I’ve set up on my…

I rented from one of those discount rental places on Maui. Blend in... drive a car like a local. They gave me an ancient Mazda Protege. It reeked of mold and when you went to fill the gas, cockroaches would swarm out of the filler neck area. But you know what? I’ll take that any day over the insane prices they charge…

Exactly. I went to Hawai’i every year for years. Going back to the 80s. I missed a year here and there, but the reason I don’t go anymore is two-fold. The rental cars are insane (I get that an ocean front condo costs, but a beater Mazda Three with 50K miles on the clock is another story). Hawai’i also repealed their…

Morrocco, somewhere at the base of the Atlas Mountains was my guess.

We don’t really know if the owner did all the right things. Replacing the air suspension is a must, but it can cause problems getting the computer to recognize the missing bits and can cause endless frustration. I owned a 1990 Great Divide Edition and don’t miss paying for premium gas one bit. And while it’s true…

Comes with free neon green tee-shirt.
