fermun posted:that's a rooftop tent, $3700 4-person tent for car camping on top of your car. because that jeep has a truck bed and no rooftop luggage rack, they also had to install an adaptor that attaches to the bed and eliminates a lot of the utility of having a truck bed. it folds out like this: I don't hate these things necessarily, but I also don't see the point. Then again, I don't understand half the things people do while camping. I'm more of a blend into the woods and be part of nature kinda guy.

I think the point is you can camp somewhere without setting up a tent, like a mini rv

There was a thread I found from someone's rap sheet that's being a dick in dnd/elsewhere to some educators and he has like 10,000 posts in the "these loving people are on the road with you thread" where he talks about scaring cyclists, celebrating when they get hit, trying to come up with ways to be lovely to them, and then every other post there is about other drivers how he flips them off when they turn to slowly and stuff. He needs to come here lol

I'm more of a blend into the woods and be part of nature kinda guy. as an american, you grow up with the images of the independent masculine outdoors man being the pinnacle of success and fullfillment and internalize this desire as to what you're lacking in life and if you only had it you'd be made whole. if you could be seen as the rugged individualist outdoors man, then you see yourself as becoming the object of desire of others because it is what you don't have. it's a successful marketing campaign intended to make profit from that anxiety gap of what you desire and what you are. enter REI, hummers, and overpriced 80k trucks e: this was a flippant shitpost not meant to be taken seriously but there is some truth in that.

Granted, I would say that image encapulsates the point the United States is at, looking at past accomplishments and unable to think of anything greater. That you probably could have roads, walkable cities and go to the moon, but it is just not possible for American "patriots" to handle such a concept.

Urbanism in Texas is a land of contrasts. On one side, Austin will add a bike lane. On the other side, TXDOT will pave over that bike lane to widen a road.lobster shirt posted:i recently looked at a house that flooded three times in six years but its neighbors on both sides have never flooded lmao. what is going on here!! Easy. Those houses flooded too and they lie about it. Everyone lies about their hosed up house and there isn't any repercussion for it because it's usually the law suit isn't worth it. I had to pull map photos of flooding to determine if a home actually flooded or not.

People are importing 25 year old Japanese compact trucks to the US because there's literally no such thing sold here. My city put a bus stop near my house a few years ago but it would have turned my 10 minute commute to work into a 1 hour commute to work because the route was nonsense.

Aren't there still some new hatchbacks like the Hyundai Accent (an abbreviation of Advanced Compact Car of Epoch-making New Technology) ok apparently not... Honda Fit? Nope not that either. Civic hatchback still exists, but the problem is it's still a fail car.

Honda stopped selling the Fit in the US a few years ago. I have a Civic hatchback and use it to haul my bike around, while I see large pickup trucks towing a small trailer because the bed is too small.

Smythe posted:mitsubishi mirage and chevy spark The Spark is dead and a bunch of articles said good riddance. The Mirage is rated one of the worst cars you can buy with a "boring" 73hp 3-cyl engine. Every car should be boring to drive IMO (boring under the surface directly to the nearest lava flow hAhaha).

my wife drives a hyundai elantra hatchback and likes it. we had to get it a couple years ago because she's a high school teacher in the county jail and the city shut down the bus line that went to the jail in March 2020 and never reopened it, so when they returned to in-person teaching there was no other option.
