This is the correct take.

So what you’re saying is: “The IPO is imminent.”

They’re also protected in AZ. Even if the driver wasn’t impaired there will likely be a fine involved.

I can understand why too, but that’s a symptom of how fucking hard some places make it to get rid of hazmat.

We use “I’m going to set a timer” then set a timer on our phones for somewhere between 2 and 5 minutes. Both our 5 year old and 2 year old have been very good about breaking off whatever it is that they’re doing when they hear the alarm.

There’s a red/white one at the local dealership. I will say it does wonders for the look of the truck. On the other hand it’s been sitting there for 8 months or so.

I’d have lead off with keeping cost overruns within the double digits.

Why can’t I have it with Range Rovers wool interior?

I think you’re right. Municipal and utility use will probably be where they the fastest rate of adoption when the non-luxury variants come to market. Places where you need a truck for sensor type equipment and ground clearance but don’t need to haul 10k lbs worth of stuff out of the local area.

When you get out into that area between Palmdale and Victorville the “side roads” are mostly areas between washes that lack sage bushes and joshua trees. Generally they’re extremely rutted, wash boarded, and full of exposed rocks.

I love how the other guy just looks around, sets down his bag, then motions for his buddy to stop fucking around and get out of the pond.

Google Maps used to love doing this when I lived in the California High Desert outside LA.

I prefer the uparmored 79 series Landcruisers.

Nail on the head. Al Gore was completely the wrong messenger, same with a lot of celebrities who took up the mantle afterwards.

GrassrootsMotorsports did this years ago. You can brush up against the line talking about EPA regs etc but they’re very strict about where the line is.

Okay that’s valid, shitty but valid. HHS wasn’t doing a real good job with their record keeping either, from my understanding, which lead to some additional issues.

I’m not sure we’re reading the same Reno v Flores decision.
