I wonder if this thing was Ubered night and day for a year?

Oh the irony. Shows up in San Diego just in time for real flood. 

20 years ago I would have said you’re insane. Um... not now.

I missed this one earlier. Definitely a hard pass on O’hare. I’ll walk before I take a flight into or out of that shithole. The airport on Christmas Island in Kiribati is a treat. They fly 737 half cargo/half passenger planes and the customs guy boards the plane and gasses it for insects while all the passengers are…

NPND is what keeps me coming back to Jalopnik and why I didn’t abandon ship for the Shitbox Showdown on that other site. Keep up the good work Rob.

The Great Green Hope. Briefly revived by e-bikes. I commuted by bike in Alaska, Idaho and DC. It sucked. But I did it for decades. I would not do it anymore if I had to commute. There are way too many distracted texting drivers to even consider it. Let alone commuting on the really nice nearby bike path which is now…

Article III of the US Constitution grants lifetime appointments to District Court Judges, Appellate Court Judges and the Justices on the Supreme Court. I have personally appeared before senile judges in two different federal jurisdictions. It’s pretty terrifying when a judge can’t get through a simple criminal plea…

Alaska got sick and tired of senile judges and enacted a law that they are done at age 70. Feds should do the same. Alaska also enacted ranked choice voting which effectively ended Sarah Palin’s career although she was last seen in Idaho ranting at an anti ranked choice voting fund raiser. Of course.

You do realize that your comment is basically a pitch for a screenplay that could very well be green-lit? 

9.5 years I traveled for work, one year 50 weeks. I only got bed bugs once at a hotel in Vegas. All hotels have bed bugs even the super nice ones. It is inevitable, but most hotels do the right thing and limit infestations by not renting the room until it is cleared. I had a few simple rules. Never leave anything on…

Very Radwoodable I’d think, after you swap the original wheels back on.

The road up and out of Queenstown, Tasmania, seemingly built on mine tailings, with 100 meter drops and no guardrails is a treat. The good news is because they drive on the wrong side you get to hug the mountainside.

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.
