Disable Autopark thang.

Yeah, this is, by far, the dumbest feature I've ever had in any vehicle.

I like the “no fault of his own” part of one of those replies.

EVERYONE, EVERYONE KNOWS WHEN YOU RIDE A MOTORCYCLE ITS NOT IF YOU WRECK BUT WHEN. when you choose to ride a motorcycle on the road with other vehicles besides motorcycle, IT IS YOUR FAULT.

I don’t know anything about Star Trek, Terminator, nor the dude that got killed causing a jeep safety feature to be added but I did have troop that did a flip off a stack of Cluster Bomb containers and landed on his head. Its Natural Selection and neither guy will ever get a chance to do that again.

Kinda the way I feel about motorcyclists or bicyclist on pavement with real vehicles. I kinda like some protection around me.

I also have a motto, “If you choose to ride a bike without a helmet, nuthin there worth protecting anyway”

I know during Covid they changed the definition of “vaccines”, and whatever one chooses to use as a vax, I ain’t choosing one that has never had a successful animal trial.

Oh yeah, did y’all know that during covid, there was no live virus found during autopsy of those ventilated ?

The cure was right there, same thing they knocked people out with to vent them coulda saved them.

Okay. I'm the new guy here and I've learned something. Somewhat sensitive bunch with a tendency to extrapolate into areas not mentioned . I won't be making comments like that in the future. I apologize if I offended.

Former Marine with a dark sense of humor. I'll reign it in.

Again, I apologize. My first turn at bat was NOT to antagonize.

Sorry, sometimes hard to read between the lines. People like to extrapolate.

Emojis help.

White Eagle -

Many, many years ago, in all motorcycle shops, Bell Helmets had a large wall advertising poster that said, "If you have a 10 dollar head, wear a 10 dollar helmet".

Always liked that poster.

 

[White Eagle]

Good ad for sure.

I think so many cyclists forget just how much there is to concentrate on while driving these days. You gotcher crack heads, 420 addicts, drunks, medicated boomers, traffic signs and signals, road construction, other vehicles and such. Its like looking at a game of Frogger. Bottom line is most drivers simply don’t see the cyclist.

I have a theory about all this "over-protection" prevalent in today's society. I call it The Bike Helmet Theory.

Back in the early 1980's, bike helmets were everywhere. What did bike helmets do ? They let the stupid survive. As kids, we never had them and when we fell, if it hurt, well, we learned something; don't do THAT again. We grew intellectually. Bike helmets let the stupid survive and try again. And again. Never to learn. Stupid kid grows into stupid adult. Who marries stupid adult ? Another stupid adult. Then they have stupid kids. So on and so forth. Society, as a result, becomes stupid. How do you protect stupid ?? Make up laws that are common sense to the non-stupids, but need to be spelled out to the stupids. But since there are no IQ test requirements to do anything, the Stupid Protection Laws affect all of us. Just look at all the warnings on a simple step ladder. Mind boggling. Too many stupids fell off them...

Blame bike helmets.

That is essentially the premise of the movie Idiocracy. If you haven't watched it then you should. It is a prediction of our future.

I guess I will sit down and watch that movie, I never have. I've been reminded of the movie several times, and I've been saying that silly statement for decades. Time to start a-streaming !! LOL

@ mudpie @ white eagle I agree completely, I am responsible for my safety, no one else just me.
Way to many stupid people out there, or smart that do dumb things, cell phones are helping the situation out!

Thank you for the work around on the door open tip, coulda used it yesterday. price is right!

@ mudpie @ white eagle

@Mud Pie @White Eagle . Then @ has to be connected to the name.

 

[jp4ever]

@Gvsukids, Thanks! I usually dont respond to much on forums and it shows! I like free, instead of just spend money on this or that, It is a jeep and it will cost money period,

i commented in the jeep story thread, just because, the new jeeps are too NICE and now arent a chore to drive on the road at speed.

I also like freedom of speech without any politics, nationalities or names being mentioned just random ramblings that can be takin as humorous or somewhat truthful. of course this is my opinion only

 

[Supazuk]

Reminds me of the movie Idiocracy lol

it's almost a documentary

 

[Supazuk]

back to the subj

I noticed a big hassle when trying to put my jeep in drive or reverse with the driver’s door open, wouldn’t go anywhere and had to go through a process to get it back moving.

It might be a spectacular feature for some but for my way of life it is a major hassle. I deal with trailers, backing up, opening gates, shooting out the door with the vehicle moving, and other ranch work where I need the door open while in gear.

I plugged a dummy seatbelt into the driver’s seatbelt thing and that ended that hassle ! It works by just buckling the seatbelt behind you too.

Tazer takes care of it one of the many features that pay for itself

Laughing so hard this morning my hot coffee spewed from my nostrils. Seems like my coffee mug should come with a warning or something. Thanks for sharing your theory, it's spot on. And thanks for the laugh.
