Or get a dual sport motorcycle, pack it with all your crap, have an off, unload everything from the bike just so you can pick it up again and you’ll learn really fast what is essential. Pro tip, save old used underwear with tears. Wear it one or two days and toss them.

Fix-a-flat ruins the rim? I didn’t know this. Please elaborate. I’ve counted on using that and my tire plugging kit combined with a compressor. I still have a spare mounted on the back of my Wrangler, but it’s possible to get two flats in some areas or rip a sidewall then there’s no plugging it. 

Or you could just buy a 2022 KTM 300 XC-W TPI (103.4 KG).

I did not know Erin was a thyroid cancer survivor. FWIW you don’t “beat” thyroid cancer, you beat it back. You take drugs every morning to suppress your thyroid stimulating hormone, endure fatigue, insomnia, headaches, yearly ultrasounds and quarterly blood checks. In some cases (probably hers if it was threatening…

Here’s one for half that from a rust-free environment and with an honest odometer statement. Also it’s not on a trailer and has no visual flaws. HALF the price. Easiest ND I’ve ever clicked.

I had a VRBO reserved in Austin once for the entire Christmas season. Three days into my drive I was in Amarillo and the owner emailed me that they’d sold the house, but he could help me find something else. I was very upset at first, then we looked at the weather in Austin and I told him that if he refunded my money…

Kawhi Leonard could use a few sessions with Giannis’ physical therapy person. 

And if Giannis does return, you just know the Suns fans are going to do the free-throw countdown thing which seemed to rattle him. I don’t know who coached him into that visualization routine or whatever it is, seems to me he should just shoot without thinking. Can’t be any worse. 

There’s a semi-famous mountain bike trail near Anchorage called Powerline Pass. The descent is so steep you have to lower the seat all the way and put your stomach on it to keep from going over the bars. In pre-disc brake times we’d stop once or twice and spray water on the rims to keep the tubes from melting. 

Drivers are much nicer to bikers in Alaska and Oregon in my experience. In both places they just throw beer bottles at you. 

I’m voting for touchscreen or all manual. Despite your cogent argument for door mount. 

In coated black or polished aluminum diamond plate. 

Age 12 on a dirt road to a municipal landfill in a station wagon towing a trailer. Legally at age 15.5. 

“Wilderness Collective.” That’s rich. You can’t drive anything with a motor in a wilderness area. You can’t even ride a bicycle. Horses for some reason are excepted. That being said, those SxSs are street legal where I live and would make for a fun grocery getter during the week. And a trail pig on the weekends. But…

It has a CVT. What more do you need to know? My neighbor just got her Crosstrek out of the shop after her CVT blew at 105K. The engine had to be replaced much earlier when it was under warranty due to oil consumption (swilling one might say) issues. My personal Impreza puked its head gaskets at 60K. I would never buy…

Came here to say that. Why give a 16 year-old a fast car? That’s prescription for disaster. XJ is great choice to wrench on and relatively safe. I’d make the kid drive a two seat Toyota pickup truck. It’s slow and he can’t pack his friends in it who will urge him on to hoon whatever it is he ends up with.

I don’t get this at all. Procedurally, Cosby should have raised this issue at the trial court. His well paid (presumably) lawyers should have moved to suppress the evidence from the civil suit based on the prior DA’s tacit promise not to prosecute him. He did not take his Five at the deposition based on the promise. Th…

You left out the part about one lane bridges with pull-outs half way across some of them.  I can’t imagine driving a LHD in NZ. 

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.
