    I like how the driver is so cool headed and sort of matter-of-fact about it all.

    There is one particular road I drive every day it’s one of three heavily travel ones that connects one side of the county with the other it has a downhill stretch that is designated for both bikes and cars and has those cute little share of the road signs. A certain percentage of cyclists mean”shating the road” is

    Personally when I’m on the bike I’ll do my very best not to mix it up with cars. I hate it when I have to be on the same pavement surfade with motor vehicles. It all has to do with not trusting drivers, and I hate slowing other vehicles down and being in their way. Finally I hate the noise and the fumes that motor

    And then there was the Mazda dealer that went the extra mile and washed my brand new Miata without asking me. Nice touch, right? I got home and discovered the whole car was covered in prismatic swirl marks. 😡😖😞 I did contact the dealer and say they needed to either change their protocols or educate their car

    I had a Mazda dealer overfill my Miata crank case by one full quart. I managed to stick a thin tube in the dipstick hole and siphon out that quart. Took photos and documented it. The dealer apologized and gave me a certification for free oral change. So took the car in for its 15K service, they overfilled it again I

    No it’s not government, but Elon Musk who wants to put chips in your body. But then again since to a fair degree,  our government is a plutocracy, maybe Elon Musk is de facto, government.

    Except for Google Earth, and somebody who emails me who has a Gmail address, I’m about as Google free as a layman can be. I get by just fine. I don't trust them and I don't like their business model.

    I don’t know if this is a Tesla thing but one trend I’ve noticed is if you don’t like black interior they’re going to squeeze you for money. And it’s not like extra cost to get a different color interior it’s like the first step up is you get something besides black seats. Whoopee! You gotta go up trim levels and

    Everything listed about the Wrangler except perhaps the reliability rating, I strongly suspect are desireable features for Wrangler buyers, not downsides.

    I miss pre-halogen sealed beam headlights. Their light output was reddish so that they didn’t destroy night vision like these modern bluish LEDs do. They were less bright but then you had night vision because you weren’t getting blinded by blue light. I never had trouble driving at night with their lower lumen output.

    I remember in the 60s when my dad got behind somebody ahead who had bench seats and the rider was snuggled up next to the driver, well my dad would say “there’s a two headed driver’.

    Trying to imagine what kind of woman would be attracted to this. In any case though it does strike me to something about beating display lots of male animals and lots of men in other cultures do rituals and displays to attract mates. Young male Masai warriors getting into jumping contests to impress the women.  I

    Carolina squat, rolling coal, jacked up imitation monster pick ups, Calvin peeing stickers, blinding bright front lighting, truck nuts, flapping flags of various sorts, loud mufflers, what is it about pick up truck people?

    The station wagon version of that AMC Eagle is clearly the direct predecessor to the highly successful Subaru Outback and Crosstrek.

    My most recent traffic stop was the most lame. I was pulled over in midwinter on a dry night in January here in the mountains in Silverthorne Colorado. After all the formalities of processing my driver’s license and proof of insurance and registration, the entirely friendly cop came back and said the reason I pulled

    Interestingthat you mention people with guns. Somewhere I saw a news story with a photo that showed people brandishing their weapons and I realized they were acting tough and thinking they were showing people how tough they are, when in fact what I saw was cowards who have to display lethal weapons to compensate for

    I’m not knowledgeable on all this stuff but my first impression is this resembles a high altitude version of the 737 crash in Colorado Springs in the early 90s.

    In someways it’s gratifying to see Tesla in the Xitter.

    I have to wonder if whoever paid $156,000 for this thing has like a $56,000 buyers remorse?

    I had a 1zzfe 2000 Corolla and changed the synthetic oil every 3 to 5000 and had no problem. At 125,000 miles I gave it to my nephew and his son totaled it🤷🏻‍♂️😞
