Idaho Code 49-307. No restriction on where they can drive and it’s not just for farm equipment.

I sold my road bikes several years ago. Even the bike paths are dangerous now with the crazed e-bikers on full throttle. I stick to dirt and snow. If I crash on a boulder that’s on me.

Around here they are already out there in traffic on e-scooters, e-bikes (that can go 30 mph) and one-wheels. Why not license them.

Idaho allows 14 year-olds to drive. Because farming.

I got tired of waiting for my Lordstown and put money down on an Elio. 

The lane keeping assist feature I’ve only had it on rental cars and a test drive in a Toyota Tacoma. The feature annoyed me so much I didn’t even bother to try and buy the Taco. 

Kinda depends on the city in my experience. Lyft in PDX, Uber in SEA. But could just be my luck. Or lack thereof.

Looks to me like a Corolla Cross that spent too much time at the gym after injecting questionable substances.

I spend half my morning every day wiping fingerprints off my stainless steel fridge. I can’t imagine dealing with an entire truckload of fingerprints. 

I was quite excited about the Broncos until they showed up all over the place here. They look like an inverted bathtub on wheels. The two door isn’t so bad.

Ever bought milk in Alaska? I used to watch “the milk ship” dock at the port in Anchorage from my office window. Like unloading gold nuggets. At some point in the pandemic they waived the Jones Act for cruise ships to Alaska so they could leave out of Seattle instead of Vancouver BC. The Jones Act might be a monument

I left my F-150 at the airport in Kenai, Alaska once when I went on vacation to Hawai’i. No plug in was available. It was -54 when I got back. The seat was like a piece of concrete. I had the truck towed to a garage. It took two days to thaw it out before it would start. 

Lifting fixes everything. Including erectile dysfunction. Everyone knows this. I’ve had three Jeeps since 1985, all lifted, and the only death wobble was due to some poorly balanced BFGs. My current Wrangler has a complete aftermarket upgraded steering, ball joints everything. It still wanders all over the road, but

Americans also put the full stop inside the quotation marks. So who is really here to cause trouble? I will admit to having owned a Land Rover or two. One of which was meant to be thrown out of planes. But you’ll never catch me whinging about those vehicles. 

Somewhere near Girdwood, Alaska on a dirt road far from anywhere I tried to drive over the toe of an avalanche. The end part that spread over the road. I had a Range Rover Great Divide Anniversary edition, surely a bit of snow would not stop the Rover. The snow seemed firm enough. I got about a third of the way over

Start slowly? I had a Lithium battery burst into flames in my garage. I was lucky to get it out on the driveway where it kept burning until I shoveled it into a garden bed where it kept reigniting until I completely buried it in dirt. But I guess these car fires don’t just consume the battery all at once.

Any JL or Gladiator owner who did not immediately lift their vehicle and install an upgraded suspension and steering with proper bits including new ball joints deserves what they get. Damn whinging mall crawlers. 

Ralph Nader will be dead by 2030. Strategic planning by Suzuki? Oh wait, that was Consumer Reports. 

Oh. So that’s what the buttons are for on the back of my Wrangler’s steering wheel. Never did figure out what they were for. As for listening to music, I took off the antenna years ago. It’s a Jeep, you can barely carry on a conversation at highway speeds. Let alone on some USFS road. 

I look at every single Honda Element that shows up on my CL favorite locales. They are either 200K plus mileage or outrageously expensive and I’ve never seen one with under 100K, they were meant to be driven long distances and camped in and apparently people did just that.
