Says the one carrying on about how hard life is for birds on the internet?

lol

It’s a bird, it’s not tragic. It’s the life of things that fly that eventually they meet hard objects. Like, you know, the ground.

Wheel and tire combo would last approximately 3 days in Africa on roads where you would actually need this much clearance. Patrols here don’t have this nonsense.

Oh man, is it AWD or RWD? I’d assume AWD....

I had a FJ62 Land Cruiser a week and I suddenly saw one being driven by an hipster/PNW-ish couple in a TV commercial. My buddies saw it too and made fun of me. When I got tired of it and bought a more modern TLC, young professionals without cars and wearing flannel came around to look at it as much as middle-aged guys…

That’s a good looking Datsun

Yeah, but if you get a TLC, you may go a year without anything to write about it unless you go wheeling, join a SAR team, or brag about how it does everything you ask of it while still being calm and comfortable with the windows up.

Hicks? In Herndon!?

Being German they probably wouldn’t have minded the police state either.

Because if you ever move back and don’t settle it, they bill you for every year you don’t respond and add to the first year of state income taxes you file when you’re back.

I move a lot for work, it is possible I might move back at some point.

Also being a wandering Michigander, I know the feeling.

All I have to say it is all better than Africa, I assure you.

Because in NoVa there are too many LEO’s with not enough to do. I received a letter from Arlington after buying a truck and having it sit in my driveway for 24 hours without a plate. It literally was registered within 24 hours of hitting my driveway, they threatened to impound it.

By the time the letter came, the truck…

Just wait till you try and leave and they send threatening letters about you not paying your VA taxes for the year after. Not even a valid voter and vehicle registration in another state satisfies the fascists.

The Commonwealth of Virginia is literally a Police state. There are so many law enforcement agencies and officers it is ridiculous and they have very little to do, especially in NoVA. I hated living there, it was an extension of DC where I would get questioned just walking along at night.

The best part? If you move,…

$2500? No. $1500? Yes. For $2500 I could get another VFR....

Honestly, cheaper than that to me. A used LR 3 or 4, Jeep or TLC and a rooftop tent + 2000 dollars of other camping gear (like a hot water heater under the hood, inverter and such) and you could get out for less than $25K with the right shopping and go places this thing can’t. I don’t see the purpose for this…

Yeah. A lot of schools of thought once you see them too. I am actually in the “continue as usual” camp instead of instant braking. As with cats, it seems they remain as they are possibly believing the possible predator (the car) doesn’t see them?

I dunno, seems to work, I haven’t schmucked one stateside since adopting…

During deer season back in MI, we used to run across deer that survived accidents like this all the time within 5 miles of highways. Likely doomed if the shoulder or leg broke, but they’ll soldier on for a while until feral dogs or coyotes get bold after their condition deteriorates. These days it is likely the…

Right. As ususal, everyone else needs to work on things, you, on the other hand, can continue to stumble through life without a shred of a sense of responsibility.

Not the worst thing that has passed for “safety” in Russia

So has anyone heard anything definitive on this?
