It’s the littering equivalent of pissing in the ocean.

Ah you’re right. He (and I) didn’t take into account the layover in CHI. That does add ~6 hours to it. But in the end, the SW Chief is incredibly unreliable. Just right now, it’ll get to Chicago at LEAST 2 hours behind schedule. No wonder there is a 5 hour layover....

There are multiple ways to get from NYC to LA on Amtrak. Yes some do include buses. Looks like he did the Lake Shore Limited with a single (lonnnnng) transfer to the SW Chief. Costs $455, all train travel, and takes 62 hours.

We had a similar experience but it was over the phone. We were trading in my truck for a smaller car, a VW Passat. We found one of the last previous year on the lot and they had it heavily discounted. The dealer was 30 miles away so I did lots of talking on the phone. I took the truck up there for appraisal and to…

I see a Grand Cherokee, at least in the liftgate design.

As a proud owner of an 04 Tahoe LS, I can confirm this is the better choice. I bought mine for the same price as this Commander, with only 32k on the clock (verified by carfax this was the original miles, no new cluster or anything to mess with the miles) and the thing is the best car i’ve ever owned. I tow with it,…

Brother and I had one and I remember some of the road stickers peeling off from folding it up so many times. But man was it fun.

6pm. It’s 00z which is 6pm now after Daylight Savings Time.

This is what passes for country music nowadays? Ugh.

I bought a Dot after Logitech released their official skill for Alexa and i’m so happy with it. I wish that it controlled other features like “Alexa, mute the TV”, etc. But I can say “Alexa, turn on Netflix” and it turns on my TV, my stereo, and tunes my Roku to Netflix. It’s pretty awesome. I only have the basic…

When I was young and fresh out of college, I got stuck in the payments trap buying a used car from a shady dealer. Concentrated on monthly payments and ended up getting screwed out of thousands of dollars. We got right side up and got rid of the truck, but we purchased a new vehicle 2 months ago from a better dealer.…

When I bought my Tahoe it came with really pitted nasty stock rims. I kept them on for a while but then I found a set of 2011 Silverado rims that fit and swapped the tires. Paid $200 for the Silverado rims and sold the old rims for $100 to some guy who wanted them for his 90's Silverado. The cost of getting…

I’ve not had the window shattering issue, but I used one of these on my Chevy Tahoe and due to the flat back, it didn’t sit tight enough on the hatch and it moved around a lot. no matter how much I tightened the straps, the straight up/down design of the straps kept it from sitting tight. It also squeaked like a…

Yea I had a rental 2016 Charger that the lights came on if the wipers were on. And it kicked into AWD as well.

I have the 4100NEX. I don’t have 30 second boot times, but it is way slower than my previous Pioneer Head unit. About 2 seconds at the splash screen, then a few seconds of black, then to the “don’t drive distracted disclaimer” hit OK, then it takes a few seconds to actually load menus. So i’d say 10 seconds from car…

I actually followed the exact same route you did from OKC to Durango Colorado 2 years ago. I was in a Toyota Tacoma though... We stopped in Red River, NM instead of Taos, but aside from that it’s the same. Did you eat at Rabbit Ear Cafe in Clayton? That was some amazing eats for a tiny town.

Not a movie, but i’ve noticed in the HGTV show “Flip or Flop” that there are tons of continuity issues when driving around. They showed an outside shot of an Escalade driving down the street, but when it showed them inside the car, it was in a Range Rover. On one episode the Escalade got “stolen” while at a site and…

I’m not really sure how it works, but given he knew my coverage was up to date, either it downloads fresh into the computers everyday, or he was using a mobile connection. It definitely took long enough they could have called Farmers, we were sitting in the car waiting for a good 5-10 minutes.

I got pulled over and didn’t have an updated Insurance slip, it was about 2 months old, my policy was definitely current though. Cop ran it and said “Your policy is current, but your card is outdated. Make sure to get a new one.” and let go on my way (headlight was out). This was a Highway Patrol officer out in BFE…
