Boxy McBoxface it is! Alt I’d go with P2V. Prime, 2 (for the alleged two day delivery that never happens) V for vanquishing any workers’ rights left in this country. 

A solar sunroof ! One that Elon Musk makes you pay for by the hour and can turn off any time you’re behind in your payments or he decides you’ve used up too much sun. 

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

In Boise, Idaho the percentage of unvax’d people mirrors the number of people who voted for Trump last election (like over 60%). So it’s no surprise that at the main hospital the ICU is full. Full of Covidiots. One died yesterday, he was 37. What happens to those poor people in a car wreck who need a functioning ICU?

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…

The Nature Conservancy closed one of the most iconic trout fisheries in the world, Silver Creek. Think Hemingway and Sun Valley. Too hot. Catch and release stresses trout too much.

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.
