I have a better idea for your headline: “Driving a smaller vehicle has a higher likely hood of death in the event you get in a collision with a larger one” Read more

Used GX460. Unlike 4runners and Tacoma’s, they’re creampuffs for most of their lives and very capable even in stock trim. 4Lo, diff lock, downhill assist, it’s all there along with fancy seats and remote start. Here’s my 10 with 130k miles, drives same as the 2020-22 loaner GX’s I’ve gotten.

My wife and I had a blast driving a Rubicon around the desert for several days in Utah. So we got a 4Runner. Read more

I’m really glad to see this as the top comment. I also find it irritating that the cruise lines use this volume measure to describe the size of their ships and do nothing to counter the confusion it creates when making comparisons to other ships that are measured by actual water displacement.

Thank you. Confusing Gross Tonnage with Deadweight Tonnage (mostly used for bulk carriers like oil tankers) with displacement is like nails on a chalkboard for me. Drives me nuts when popular press articles on ship make this mistake. Read more

I love you, and I love your comments. I hope you’re wrong here.

I feel like Toyota maybe kind of sort of finally “gets it” with what they’ve released that can off road.

I’m also not dumb and believe that the Bronco and Wrangler helped this along. Read more

The US also uses Pu-238 because it won’t flat out kill you if you happen to be in the same room with it. PU is an alpha source, and while it’s toxic as a substance, alpha radiation isn’t all that dangerous unless you ingest it or breath it in. There have even been (ill-considered) experiments (some without telling the… Read more

IIRC, stuff like mooring fees are factored into the ‘10%’ off-the-cuff figure, along with maintenance, crew salaries and fuel. But it’s a lot of money, no matter how you slice it - 130k for a spot, on a 2.4 million dollar charter (not including tips or incidentals!). Read more

It feels like congress needs to go back and change the language in some of the recent laws to push the full BEV integration back a bit and instead focus on a cash for clunkers type scheme where they give modest incentive to switch to any type of hybrid or ev.
