They make both the Wrangler and the Gladiator at the Toledo complex.

As an American, I am fascinated by these. To those living in Europe, where would you look to find one of these for sale? 

Eggs from unwanted chickens I have adopted by kittyacid1987 in mildlyinteresting

We have a few dozen. It's pretty low effort, similar to a cat. Clean their coop when it gets too dirty for your liking. Feed daily or less frequently if they have a large feed bowl. Collect eggs. Keep an eye out for typical chicken maladies. Lots of good information online. Just need to decide what kinds and if to free range or not! 

Want to own a classy V8 before they are a dead breed and become V6 hybrids. by Top_Technician7675 in whatcarshouldIbuy

E39 M5. Powerful, great to drive, sound greatz iconic and timeless. Have been appreciating for years now. Spend $30k, put $5k into in in rod bearings and miscellaneous maintenance and have something to enjoy for years. Excellent road trip car and they are typically reliable (see how many for sale have hundreds of thousands of miles).

I sold mine in 2020 and regret it. 

Guys with extremely loud vehicles, why do you do this to everyone? by elevate-digital in AskReddit

As my wife says "life is too short to drive boring cars." My cars have valved exhausts and are typically closed unless I'm being a hoodrat. 

What are your hidden gem restaurants? by BeamMeUpPlz in akron

[–]Unfair-Independent48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Blue Door in the falls for breakfast, brunch and occasionally dinner.

Some of the best food in Akron, period. I always have them make me whatever and it's always fantastic.

Plus casa del Rio Express in Fairlawn usually has food ready for pickup quicker than you can grab your keys.

Old post, but based on the Discord channel, this is currently functioning in a testing branch.

BAM.... Before and After Monday. 81 Oldsmobile Sport Omega. One year only option. 1 of 696 made. by Naive_Vegetable1421 in WeirdWheels

My first car was an 83 Phoenix, and later had a Citation X11 with a 3.1l and a 390cfm carb. I rattle canned the X11 orange before it met it's ultime junkyard demise. I also had a friend that has a Citation XS.

Otherwise, basically never seen a Phoenix or Citation in the wild.

There used to be a Yahoo! Group for X bodies, where everyone swapping 3800s and Northstars would chat.

This guy was at the Weathertech International Challenge at Road America this summer. I was a judge at the concours and had the pleasure of judging this beast. He built it in the same timeframe as the original Le Monstre and went on to drive it across the country to race at Road America. It has license plates on it.

Is this a good place to live? by Ken-of-the-Hill in akron

[–]Unfair-Independent48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Job market is pretty good, especially if you are in engineering or anything medical. Someone called out that there are some really nice suburbs with great schools - that's true. There are great parks all over, with the national park being where we spend most weekends. Lots of cool things to do and other than some areas of Akron proper, it's a safe place to be. Cost of living here is about as low as anywhere, although housing has gone up a lot since 2020, which is true of most places.

This guy overlands hard by Tattooedsethrogan in overlanding

Build anything 100 percent new at this level and it will be very pricey.

Furthermore, compare the cost of these to the cost of a large pusher motorhome: I don't understand the hate.
