    It's a pretty accurate division. If you want to add a few more, maybe throw in airplanes and air conditioning. I remember stories about traveling internationally by boat and cannot imagine living in some places without at least a window unit. Plenty of people recall buying ice blocks I'm sure.
  2. Bronco Sport rolls down the Black Bear Pass

    I don't really even do rollercoasters any more. This isn't for me. I enjoy a good scenic view, but not mere feet from the edge of a cliff.
  3. Dunno 'bout this one.

    To be fair, I could see there being a really small market for this. I had to drive ~20 minutes due east every afternoon around sunset when my mother in law would watch my son while I'm at work. It's 20 minutes of direct sun blaring into what was then an infant's eyes. This was when I still...
  4. Dunno 'bout this one.

    YET. In my experience, these things take at least a couple of months to come unglued and then disappear at 70+ mph :) It's not all that bad... it's just clearly not designed to fit the truck, either in form or function. Eventually she may ask you how it's working. That's a prime opportunity...
  5. Water fording newbie

    I think it was a smart move to back-off. By doing so you have the opportunity to return and try again one day when the water is lower. I have also spent a lot of time wading around rivers, though more pulling my kayak upstream through rapids than fishing. I was also a lifeguard for many...

    Stumbled upon something vaguely interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimetabole Then this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchysis and this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiastic_structure. I love falling into a good wikihole. At some point I may fall in and come out days later red...
  7. Shift pod tent

    The gazelle looks cool, but the specs seem right along with other car camping tents, albeit at a higher price point. The T4 Hub lists MSRP of $459.99 (I have no idea why they're showing a $339.99 sale price when they have zero inventory). COLLAPSED SIZE 8" x 8" x 67.5" WEIGHT 30 LB...
  8. Rattle from engine when accelerating (sounds like keys)

    Mine did sort of sound like it was coming from the area of the transmission, but I just assumed that's where the sound was finding it's way out. Sort of like hearing sirens in a downtown area and the noise bounces off buildings. At first I thought it was doing it when shifting too - but I have...

    had a rauchbier last night... I love them but an acquired taste for most.

    I like Jai Alai too, just make sure it's fresh! Someone mentioned the history of IPAs. It's ironic that modern IPAs need to be (should be) consumed ASAP. I check the cans now for the date. If it's older than 3 months I pass.

    I don't like it as much now, but Mc D's iced coffee is what got me back in the game. Starbucks is so expensive even the boutique coffee shops around me are cheaper.

    oh yeah I forgot drinking in Vietnam Some of the best beer I ever had for $0.50 each - Bia Saigon "special". Bia Hanoi was alright but not as good. I found some really nice vodka too in a relatively small town. The local moonshine looked like dirty motor oil so I passed on that. I had a...
  13. What color is GATOR to you?

    I think black would definitely be the case if you had the black fenders, not sure if those will stay bright green after the sun and dirt hit them. I consider mine green first, but admittedly most people seem to call it brown. I say it's muddy green. In my defense brown is what you get when...

    I remember being ~15 and drinking my first beer. Man that was nasty. Then the craft beer craze caught fire not too long after I turned 21. I have no way of knowing, but I would guess I've tried close to a thousand different beers in the past 15 years. (weekly tasting at the local beer...
  15. My Gladiator is the most polarizing vehicle I’ve ever owned.

    Growing up I never relished sticking out. Driving a Gladiator with the top/doors off, it's hard not to. The last few years I just decided to not care (not that I ever did, but less so). I haven't cut my hair in over a year. I needed something to keep it out of my face so I bought a...

    Peach cobbler with ice cream. Or as my former coworker would say, "a la monde" I did the whole tennis ball filled with gasoline thing too! It shot out a 4 ft flame and let out a roar before we freaked out and smothered it. We used to take apart the long strings of fire crackers and set them...
  17. What’s your mpg with bigger tires??

    2020 Sport S 3.73 gears 285/75/r17 Toyo Open Country AT3 on stock rims no lift I am getting 16-17 mpg with 100% city driving right now, much of it idling in traffic. I need a short vacation to test the highway mileage! I think it's prudent to adjust the tire size in order to keep the odometer...
  18. Rear Seat Center Armrest

    You get cup holders in the floor behind the console but nothing for them to put their arms on. This is about as close as I could find. - https://www.amazon.com/Timorn-Armrest-Cushion-Memory-Console/dp/B073XGXNJY/ref=sr_1_13?dchild=1&keywords=rear+console+armrest&qid=1632413573&sr=8-13 You...
  19. Confession

    The gas can next to the truck is a bit confusing. Perhaps it is indeed just saying to fill them on the ground, but it would be more effective to have the can in the bed with the prohibition slash instead. Is it maybe saying only use a real gas can to add fuel?
  20. Hiding Toll booth Transponder passes.

    Went to a state park where you have to hang an annual pass on the rear view mirror over the weekend and had the same conundrum. I decided to just take the pass with me and if I found a ticket try to argue my way out of it. Unlike an EZ pass anyone could use it.
