Fun fact about this trail. Its weak sauce up until the last mile and a half. When I did it, the rangers said most people drive to this point, park and walk and we say people doing that. The last mile and a half was pretty fun.

Everybody gets old unless they die early. And it happens fast. You’ll be old before you know it. There will be 20-something year old children shitting all over the things you enjoy. And there’s nothing you can do about it.

Those are MASSIVE efficiency increases that you will absolutely feel in the wallet.

Well when you have a car where a taillight replacement is $100, a car where the taillight replacement is several thousand dollars can be a bit off putting.

Where I live they made it so that you need a license to recycle nonferrous metals but that just means the thieves have to sell at a discount to someone with a license.

I remember getting all kinds of flak for pointing out what a nightmare owning these things would be when the Hertz story first came out. Glad to see I was right. 

While the drivers do take a lot more impact than they would in a car with proper crumple zones, the big issue is that also means they transfer a lot more energy to whatever they’re crashing into.  So while the Tesla driver signed up for this, whoever they’re hitting didn’t

Watched Hoovies Garage, and I’m a little frightened by how easy some of those tabs broke. I can’t say this vehicle was well designed, more of here is a shell, just fit everything in there...

I’m 70 and just bought a Camry because they don't make Crown Victorias or Avalons anymore.

Old is not an ethnicity. You may not know this, but all people age. Way to tell on yourself, though.

Harley Davidson bikes. I so seldom see anyone under sixty buying one of those anymore. 

Lexus RX. Every boomer coming out of a CR-V looking to “finally splurge a bit” is buying them, my parents included.

Was the tour that overran a ship tour, or an independent one? Because if it was the latter, then every cruiser knows this is a risk. Ship departure schedules are set in stone, engraved in gold, they will leave without you. It is something you accept. The skipper will spit you right out on the quayside if your own…

Just like the Thunderbird, going with what might be unpopular: Lexus SC430.

My wife first noticed this issue this morning on her iPhone and our stepsons iPhone. She asked if I had service and I did, fully 5G LTE on my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. As well as full service on my Galaxy watch and my 2024 4Runner’s hot spot. It seems Android users are not nearly affect as iPhone users are.

I haven’t even looked at non-Toyota products since 2007.

Our 2018 Ford Expedition transmission grenaded itself at 70k miles. It sat in a shop for 3 MONTHS while the techs had to go through an approved repair process directly from Ford. They and I both knew it needed a completely new transmission but corporate demanded they follow the instructions of an engineer who walked…

Ford - this is the year we finally fix our shit quality!

Depending on the breed, small dogs can be great. A lot of terriers are smaller and absolutely bad ass. We had a Cairn Terrier and she was awesome. 

Please don’t make me explain why the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet needs to be at the top, or near the top of this list.
