Vladivostok Craigslist ad 2032. Ran when parked!

For the last two years you have been able to pump your own in rural areas. I guess the experiment paid off. I used to fill up on the Umatilla Indian reservation to avoid attendants and get across Oregon and into Washington.

Most disgusting part is when you run them down the other crickets come over and cannibalize the dead. I am surprised the Deseret News in SLC hasn’t come out in favor of referring to the crickets as LDS Crickets. 

Anything with a subwoofer is auto ND for me. Means it’s been hooned by a young male.

Subaru. Because my 2007 Impreza puked its head gaskets at 50K miles. Subaru knew this was a problem and did nothing. I had it fixed ($3K which included other things as long as they had the engine out) and then it started throwing codes like the evap cannister was bad. No, they needed to drop the tank which was going…

Combining the possible deception and the registration that expired in October pushed me into ND land from what initially looked like a decent price.

Meanwhile Elio lowered its price to a non-refundable $499 if you buy within the next month. 

Wait for the Honda Transalp to show up. 

Pretty cheap entry fee into Radwood. NP. 

Because you can’t camp on top of your mountain bike. At least not comfortably. 

Alaska Airlines took away all the check-in stations at my local airport. So you can’t print a boarding pass even if you want to. All the gate agent does is check your ID, which TSA does anyway. So now I have AK Air’s app. Fine. But am I going to rely on that to work? No. I take a screenshot of the QR code, print it…

Can’t wait to see the Trailhunter join all the other overlanders in the Whole Foods parking lot.

Rudy catching a RICO case would be a very delicious irony.

Which is not to be believed because it has Minnesota plates on it. I’m not buying anything that has been driven around the winter brine state of Minnesota.

And why would the seller put up a photo that basically says I’ve worn out the rear suspenstion lugging my motocross bike to races or the desert?

Looks like omplete crap to me. 9 speed drivetrain a la 90s, cheap Chinese tires, cheap chinese pedals, cheap Chinese fork, they won’t even tell you on their website who makes the motor, but it’s not Shimano or Bafang or they’d tell you. And good luck getting anyone competent to work on one of these. Do we really…

It doesn’t help that the RWNJs in Idaho threw out their long serving and perfectly reasonable GOP Attorney general and replaced him with a far right idealogue with an agenda. The lawyers at the AG’s Office couldn’t run for the exits fast enough. Well over two centuries of institutional knowledge disappeared over the…

Too late as of 1803 when the SCOTUS seized power in what amounted to a judicial coup. (See, Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)). 

Subaru Croztek (sorry, got beat to it)

I rented a Toyota RAV4 in Seattle a few months ago. I was ready to be underwhelmed and anxious about the ride height (my daily is a lifted Wrangler). Thing saved me from getting in a wreck with its automatic braking which surprised the fuck out of me. Having ditched my long-hated Subaru gasket eater, I think I might…
