There’s an easy Federal response to states like Montana, Texas and Idaho. The EPA should take away the state authorization to enforce the Clean Air Act. But it never happens. (note: I was not greyed before the great Earther purge a couple years ago that got rid of me and DNAPL, but I still stop by to wave my fist in…

What’s next? An Elio in someone’s driveway?

Utah is really a old white-guy-run theocracy masquerading as a state. The Mormons only allowed black men into the priesthood thing in 1978 (women of any color don’t ever get in).

Last week in Boise, Idaho a dump truck ran a red light and killed a skateboarding 16 year-old who was in the crosswalk.

Wouldn’t some Hollywood company that supplies old cars for movies snap this up at that price? The best Brit car mechanic I ever encountered that fixed Rolls Royces lived out in the woods in Wasilla, Alaska. Like waaaaaay out in the woods. I dropped a Land Rover off with him once and there were two Rolls in his garage.…

The CFR 300 L Rally edition comes stock with a 3 gallon tank. Essential out in the West for any offroad distance riding. It does seem a bit fat in the front though compared to the non-rally edition tested here. Some people call them entry level bikes, but at my age I called my LRP (little red pig) my exit level bike.

One need only look to Main Street in Moab to confirm your suggestion. Jeep rentals used to line the street. No more, it’s all side by sides. 

I live in a western city that was full of Jeeps. The Gladiator was indeed a good move by Jeep. Between the Gladiator and the new Broncos the joke is that the Wranglers are quickly becoming the ride of choice only for chicks ‘n hicks.

Fortunately for Ms. Russell the US Constitution is very clear about ex-post facto laws so even if the Alabama Taliban passes a law to up her charges I would think any court up to the SCOTUS would rule it inapplicable to her (although who knows what the SCOTUS will decide next). It certainly won’t stop the State of Alab…

I’m a three time skin cancer survivor (so far). My dermatologist recently recommended Cetaphil Sheer Mineral Face SPF 50. It goes on clear without the white residue and has no smell. I’m also a fan of CeraVe skin care products, but have not used their sunscreen. Don’t forget to coat the top of your hands and fingers.…

I stopped flying on Hawaiian Air after the time they sent my diving gear to Guam for its own vacation and only returned my gear to me after my vacation was basically over. Nor would they reimburse me for gear rental. I think United is worse, but it’s a close call. I mean why would anyone fly on Hawaiian when Alaska…

My 2007 Impreza didn’t even make it to 60K miles before puking its headgaskets. My subie mechanic gave up trying to fix that POS after we spent $3K on all new gaskets, radiator, pump, timing belt because once the engine is out why not. Then it started throwing evap codes. I gave it away. 

Bermuda too. But good luck paying for dinner and a few drinks. OMG.

Just get an off-the-shelf LLC kit from Montana and you’re in business (literally). There’s a reason all those $200K EarthRoamers, motorhomes and spendy hypercars have Montana plates.

OBD-II was the camel’s nose under the tent. Maybe the future is EVs you throw away like every other broken appliance nowadays. I don’t have a lawn for you to get off of either.

Does it come with a M.D. Diploma indicating you graduated from dental school?

United Airlines. Right... you know this is going to be a shitshow. Boise to Columbia, SC one stop in the dreaded Chicago (ORD). Flight leaves then circles around ORD and can’t land because of weather then runs out of gas and has to land in Peoria. Like some poor person airline that only puts $5 worth of gas in their…

Indeed. In Alaska, where the are called “snow machines” and Idaho where they thrive as “snowmobiles” I have rarely seen a Yamaha. So it was clearly about time to shift their focus.

Loggers always had 4 door models for the crew. The trucks (usually Ford or Dodge) were called the “crummy” as I recall. Why I don’t know.

They need to be gathered up, put on trial and sentenced to six months at Sea World. That’ll teach them.
