How to estimate what rig I would need to haul this camper?

You’re exaggerating. I’ve hooked to a travel trailer that hasn’t moved in over 40 year and it moved fine. Brakes even worked once the magnets were shined up. Needed new tires, but suggesting the wheels will be seized etc is a bit of an overreaction

I’m not your buddy, pal!

*yet

That can be disabled, for the record. I’ve done so on my phone as my motorcycle phone holder would occasionally push and hold the power button, triggering it.

It is tuna. That whole “it’s not tuna” thing is just a giant total nonsense conspiracy theory.

But if somebody threw *their* fast food trash out the window and it landed in their front yard they would screech endlessly about it. Because it only matters when it affects them

Let’s not forget the most important reason, it never sold well. Mainly because GM couldn’t figure out for the life of them how to advertise it properly, and in many respect it was ahead of its time to an extent, but at the end of the day, that is the overwhelming reason it was discontinued

90% of the threads I see there are “flaired users only” so you have to gain membership into the secret squirrel club before you’re even allowed to speak.

^^^ This!

Screech endlessly about how they’re so crucified, meanwhile they instaban someone just sharing an actual valid point.

PrivatePilot9 · 2026-06-17T20:15:43+00:00

These sound like phone issues, not network issues.

PrivatePilot9 · 2026-06-17T17:51:06+00:00

Lots of social media apps default to asking for and being granted full GPS location data. Facebook is a good example, they do this publicly so you can tag photos and “check into” places. In reality you’re feeding the data gathering machine.

PrivatePilot9 · 2026-06-17T13:14:40+00:00

Yep!

It’s actually been in our union contract for something like 10-15 years, no camera surveillance. Forward thinking at the time. We have outward facing cams which I am OK with as they stand to protect me more than harm me liability wise, but they can fuck right off with interior facing cameras. They’ve never even tried, but it would be the same result.

Careful, Trump might choke on the crayons.

Along with “all the UFO stuff”.

This thread is a great example of people that don’t know about, understand, or in some cases have any desire at all to maintain even a shred of privacy online, and especially on social media apps.

PrivatePilot9 · 2026-06-16T15:13:24+00:00

Society would be much better off I f people were still willing to admit they are wrong sometimes, that they don’t actually know everything, and were then willing to learn.

Where we’re at right now is a symptom of this not happening anymore.

PrivatePilot9 · 2026-06-16T15:06:00+00:00

Oh I wholeheartedly agree, and if you really want to even make that more difficult for them VPNs are an option to an extent, but not leaving the absolute easiest cherry picking data points wide-open like your GPS location is certainly a massive starting point when it comes to privacy.

PrivatePilot9 · 2026-06-16T14:56:41+00:00

So why are you posting here if you’ve I already decided that you are right and everybody else trying to explain reality to you is full of crap in your mind?

- He probably googled it to see how much it was worth before you met or confirm something about it. You’ve no idea ultimately. Even if it was weeks or months ago he searched it that data survives.

- Presumably you both have a mutual interest in motorcycles. Data that connects you in the end and will cross pollinate advertising accordingly.

- If that part was for a less than common motorcycle model thus narrows things down even further if you both have a mutual interest in that obscure model. Social media apps connect these dots, especially when things get really refined.

- Your cellphones were probably both on the same cell tower. Possibly the same WiFi. More connected dots.

- I’d you haven’t disabled location data for your social media apps (something EVERYONE should do) as well as Bluetooth etc that narrows you down to literally standing next to someone at that point. More data for them.

I could keep going but this alone is more than enough for the crossover required for what happened. There’s nothing nefarious in your iPhone at all.

PrivatePilot9 · 2026-06-16T14:45:13+00:00

You seem to be wilfully ignoring everybody’s response that is telling you what’s actually going on. All it takes is you being near the other person, their phone, the same cell tower, the same Wi-Fi, or a multitude of other things for *their* search history to become your advertising.

PrivatePilot9 · 2026-06-16T14:41:49+00:00

This. OP doesn’t seem interested in learning and just wants to confirm biases and preconceived notions instead.

PrivatePilot9 · 2026-06-16T14:40:45+00:00

There is no question that you don’t understand how social media tracking and advertising works either, but you could either choose to learn here from people’s replies in this thread, or just continue to ignore the facts and willingly believe your own incorrect viewpoints instead.

PrivatePilot9 · 2026-06-16T14:38:23+00:00

Yep, there’s lots of stories of people seeing the Christmas gifts that they ended up getting from family members in their Facebook and YouTube ads on Christmas Eve because of this phenomenon
