I dunno, young Arab and European (now there’s an odd grouping, no?) tourists pissed me off in Africa on travel all the time. Middle aged folks, not so much, but holy hell I almost pushed one group of 20ish Brits right into a gorge for being so obnoxious.

Only shocking to those who have never traveled to Asia. I went to a Chinese university for a year and they give the same advice to the Chinese about all foreigners. It was especially keen to keep the women from being “seduced” or raped. English orientations were much different and were pretty starkly whitewashed.

And…

Don’t worry, beyond that, he will run into someone like me someday that plays games with attitudes like that, and knows what average deductibles are.

I also had to chuckle

You were saying?

The rust on these things runs away quickly. I figured the surface rust on my FJ62 was minor, before long I had holes two inches above the fender flares.

I love the style, but prefer them to be other people’s problems. I drive a UJZ100 these days.

Yeah, no. I wouldn’t buy this either, but I owned a FJ62 and a UZJ100 (both with steel bumpers and OME suspension) and driven J70's and UZJ200's over a few years in Africa. I can say I’ll take the newer ones every day of the week and pass on the FJ’s and even brand-new-from-Gibraltar J70's. Used 100's are cheaper than…

It is not. Bonus is if they freak out, you have a better reading on the true situation than the codes could ever give you.

Yeah, I had one too when I lived there. If you walk a lot all day it becomes nearly essential.

Having spent time there, I have to say you don’t know how many minions the Jag driver brought. Getting into your car and pushing out isn’t a bad idea if you’re outnumbered, because if a fight breaks out a Chinese crowd (and there is always a crowd in urban areas when things get above a conversational level) isn’t…

Sounds like China

You’ve watched too much Trump if you think that being intolerant and insulting to the ignorant is an appropriate way to champion tolerance.

So, it is a little better than Korea (Seoul is hard to navigate even if you ask the cops for help), and a bit more precise than many big cities in China currently.

When going to a specific destination I always just look for old folks out and about to ask after I find somewhere to ditch the car.

Yeah, ok. Between those two comments you’re sounding really tolerant. You can get those things is most U.S. metropolitan areas, or indeed, most places in the modern world. Even free or near free education through doctorates.

I don’t go to NYC unless I am being paid to, and there is no amount of money you can pay me to…

Yeah, that’s humans everywhere.

If not trolling you have not seen much of Earth

There was nothing wrong with the tires, and everything wrong with Ford’s engineering solution that wasn’t a real fix.

Yeah, Ford instructed owners (who already never check air pressures) and their Jiffy Lube mechanics to under inflate tires, leading to failure. That’s just bad engineering. They weren’t the best tires, but they were no worse than anything on GM or Dodge vehicles.

Not illegal in all states to pass on the right, and with the amount of normal cars and truckers that DO ride in the left hand lanes for miles upon miles get off your high horse with that nonsense. Every situation is different, but if we’re generalizing, hey.

I wish I could see truckers slow down when behind other…

Verdict on the Goodyears is that they are a great AT tire but slightly noisy on tarmac, more so he thinks than Firestone Destinations he has also run, but destroy the Firestones in actual “need traction” situations.

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with them either if you want them.
