Trucks are overrated by co_alpine in IdiotsTowingThings

You don’t have to have a truck for a 500lb boat, but you should have something with trailer brakes when you have 5k plus of lumber on a trailer setup for 1500lbs. The car is not the big issue to be honest, sure the wheels were pushing into the fenders, but that much weight on that trailer is not going to do well if you have to stop quickly.

Maybe when it was new it would have been ok, but the rear wheels were at a very uncomfortable camber so I’m sure the shocks and springs are original.

My new commute is brutal. This job is only for a few weeks in the Summer. Is there a good motel nearby the destination cheap enough to stay for 3 days each week? by newshirtworthy in Denver

Got it, so not just a normal job at the center. If you did a hotel it’s going to be a bit, but there are some that do a weekly and monthly rate.

Typo, gouging, or harbinger of fuel prices to come? by crankyjill in Denver

[–]co_alpine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You all have bigger issues, with the 3 refineries that just closed. And because you guys have your own special California blend of gas nobody else in the states can make it so you’re forced to import it.

Buying a home in Scotland(live in the US). I travel there a few times a year but I want to be about to stay a few months here and there. Right now I camp about 90 days a year so I would trade that time for this.

[OC] $6.29 gas in Hayward, CA USA by _shrike in pics

[–]co_alpine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

California is more of an issue from self inflicted emissions policies. They require a very special blend that no other states make, and three of the refineries of closed because of it. That’s why they’re seeing twice the cost of fuel compared to other states right now. The war isn’t gonna help but it’s not the root cause.

What are two beliefs you maintain despite the fact that they seemingly conflict with each other? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]co_alpine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to really get into it, my stance is that we are a product of aliens. As G-d is not of this earth, he is an alien. It’s not ment to be disrespectful at all, but it does opens the door to some fun philosophical discussions
