I'm also sure that a nice sea breeze is fun to smell and hear and feel.Quote:

I would 100% base it on food choices.
Best free adblocker add in for Chrome please.
AdBlock Plus has been working for me for years.Quote:

Have you tried this on those sites instead of fighting with them? https://archive.ph/Quote:

Yeah - at some point it doesn't make sense to battle with them when it's so easy to copy/paste the URL into that site.Quote:

Yes. But not on chrome. Google is spyware. I run it on Firefox.Quote:

Probably just looks and a different profile. I think it looks like a slow speed cruiser and not much else. If that is your thing I say go for it.
Never underestimate the stupid shit a teenager will do to their car.Quote:

Nope. Just destroying expensive low profile tires.
The stupidest car mod ever
Where did that skateboard tr go from that girl in trip reports? She flip out and leave?
I'd rather spend an hour with a kid who's passionate about their stanced Civic than a minute with a flat brimmed douchebag who did this to their truck.

I really don’t see the distinction
Srsly. I'm probably going to walk on past both of them. Ain't nobody got time for inane conversation about cars.Quote:

Or low-profile but aggressive tires on a truck. Off-road designs (AT, MT, etc) usually perform best when run at relatively low pressure and the sidewall can deform easily. Rubber-band MTs give up that functionality, yet they're still a thing.
Bobby Stainless said all those car mod guys, from stupidly huge lifted duallys with low profile wheels, to the Fast n Furious prop car crowd, to the GORP mall-crawlers, are just ATMs to him.
eh, I thought it was a cool thread and different enough from the normal shit that we get here to make it interesting.Quote:

No one would say that lowriders are a functional modification, but they're still pretty damn cool
Def. That sucks but whatever.Quote:

At least they have a passion for something.
would you choose;
a) summer ski alps glaciers - airfare- 80,000 miles plus $52.90 or $1054.80 cash
b) summer ski mt hood - airfare - 68,000 miles plus $11.20 or $865.32 cash
c) winter ski chile - $1,032.30 with the possibility of a $400 discount with a new amex card application
opinions wanted.
fact.
Chile.
But in reality, my brain always goes to NZ Southern Alps for "summer."
And if cash is tight: A) Summer Alps in yurp paid with miles... because all things yurp.

Another vote for Chile. My TR from a few years ago for inspiration: https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...e-Nevado-ChileQuote:

Unless you have another reason to come out to the Pacific Northwest (e.g., they have an MTB park at timberline now) I don't think it's worth burning miles or dollars to ride timberline.
