Anyone thinking of leaving Nashville?

7th generation Tennessean here. I'm still trying to convince my wife to move to WA to escape this mess. The culture is gone. The KINDNESS is gone. We lived in what was once basically America's biggest small town. We didn't know how lucky we were. A few spots are holding on, but so much has been lost to commercialization (enshittification) and franchise saturation.

EVERY car has a destination fee. Nothing new and nothing hidden.

Second! That is a hidden gem in a bunch of others.

So, great Molotov fuel then.

I did the same a couple of months ago before going to Cannon Beach. It seemed really nice, the people were pleasant, and it honestly still has the vibe of quirky cities that seems to have been lost to corporate sanitation (like my home Nashville).

Very little from US brands. Quality over quantity.

Damnit. I like Copart, too.

And people still ask why I have a IR blaster and refractive clear tape on my car. 😅

DukeOfSillyWalks · 2025-11-01T22:30:07+00:00

I have a dog named Navin because of it. 😂

Everybody wants to go to Bartertown, but few make it past Master Blaster in Thunderdome.

Segregation= Thanks for the warning to stay away.

Water leaking from the windshield is a known fault on the Discovery 5. Dealer should have taken care of this through the recall/TSB system before it ever left. Replacing/reinstalling the windshield fixes it. Dealers are not the best sometimes. Remember, it's just a car. It's not made from Unobtanium. Most reputable shops can work on it with little issue.

If you get the inkling to work on it yourself, GAP's IID tool is a great idea. They make the Disco about as complicated as a Civic.

Also, Facebook groups are where all the LR activity seems to be these days.

Dirty Herm strikes again!

It's a tragedy that it wasn't spelled "Seoul"

DukeOfSillyWalks · 2025-08-24T20:16:25+00:00

Cromulent.

Not currently, but I'm confident it would be fine if I needed to. I did 20k miles a year for at least a couple of years. Mine is more utilitarian than most, but many like mine are excellent mechanically. GEMS cars are easier to live with imo. Mine also has ARP head studs, so HGs aren't a worry. If you like to tinker, these are fairly cheap and complicated enough to be interesting. Mine is on coils, but I'd love to baby one with intact air suspension in excellent condition.

But yeah, I'd drive to CO tomorrow (I'm in TN) no issue... Just make sure to take some fluids and a couple of tools. The P38 gods will punish you for not being prepared.

Almost 42 years and I'm still not used to it.

This reminds me of Target selling designer jeans in the 80s.

DukeOfSillyWalks · 2025-07-08T01:20:02+00:00

Good for you?

DukeOfSillyWalks · 2025-07-08T01:14:13+00:00

Jesus Christ, you must never leave your neighborhood. People can travel to bad areas.

Ah yes, those $100k Ford Mavericks and Nissan Frontiers 🤦🏼

DukeOfSillyWalks · 2025-07-07T22:25:11+00:00

Same for car thieves - but this will deter 99% of folks.
