The Alaska Highway with the Cassiar variant. Although the Cassiar is now almost completely paved which takes some of the fun out of it. Too bad Canada can’t trust the southern hordes from Antivaxxistan into their country. The Kluane National Park part of the trip is stunning. And spending the night in Whitehorse at…

The only place I see quads anymore is on farms and ranches, usually attending to some irrigation problem. That and at the Dakar. I keep predicting they’ll axe that category, but have been wrong so far. 

Middle of the pack mountain bikes now start around $2500 and top out at more than the RZR 200. So not throwaway money, but relatively speaking it seems like a decent deal. 

Nothing! I drive a Wrangler. You can’t hear yourself think at speed. I wear noise cancelling earbuds to save my hearing. What’s left of it.

And that in a nutshell is the only reason Harley Davidson is still in business.

Ah yes Serbia... that shining beacon of environmental awareness. Ever been to Belgrade and tried to breathe? 

We trust dealerships

Last year in September a Nova Concourse with 37K miles sold in the $6000 range on BaT. Based on that I voted ND. Sure is a nice time capsule though.

Does his signature on the glove box add value? No speculation regarding the Idaho plates? My guess is that the blue building behind him is his hanger at the Friedman Airport in Hailey (the airport that serves Sun Valley). The Idaho plate is an oddity. 806 ACS is a vanity plate, must stand for something personal. Idaho…

If you need a computer course to drive your car it’s already too complicated in my view. I’ve never read the manual to my Wrangler. I have no idea what half those buttons are for or care. I obviously don’t need them.

Back in the day Alaska used to attract some pretty good attorney talent. That was when they got benefits same as the union which included free healthcare for life. That went away in the late 80s and it has apparently been in steady decline ever since. This racist is what they are scraping the bottom of the barrel for…

You left out the part about shellfish.

That’s one dumb fuck legislature wherever you live (Antivaxxistan?). It’s right in the US Constitution, Article 6, section 3- No religious test to hold office. But I’m sure handmaid Amy Looney-Barrett would vote to affirm.

Joel Osteen drives a Ferrari. I guess we’ll give him a pass on Jalopnik. 

A Handmaid’s Tale seemed too much like a reality TV show for me. Couldn’t watch it.

See e.g. Subarus puking their head gaskets well beyond the first model year.

CP3 got his rest, albeit not from Holiday. He was on the bench towards the end of Q 1 after committing four turnovers and the Suns were up 16. Beginning of Q 2 he’s back and that 16 points evaporated in minutes. Agreed, should have rested him the whole 4th Q. Crowder and Johnson (the kid) both had the hot hand from…

Likewise for Wrangler JKUs. I’ve been offered more than I paid for mine and it’s a 2015, albeit with 35K miles. Never mall crawled. I did add several thousand in add-ons, bumpers etc. But I am sorely tempted to take my winnings and wait for some deal on a newer Wrangler and start the build process over. 

I had an 1988.5 model year Sammie. I loved that thing with the top and doors off. Had a Calmini bumper and a 4" spring-over lift rocking 31s. Two days ago I was driving around in the mountains in my topless Wrangler JKU and here comes a Sammie the other way. My first thought was I miss my Sammie. My second thought…

Can sympathize. Same exact thing happened in my Subaru. The chicken fell out of the bag. I was incensed the bagger forgot my chicken. Until a smell about four days later made me hunt under the seats. Luckily it wasn’t too far gone and a spritz of bathroom spray fixed it.
