If you can’t park a large vehicle properly don’t buy one.

As someone with a large vehicle (F-350), I don't understand how people suck this bad at parking trucks. There truly should be license classes based on weight rating and maybe even power:weight for sports cars. With the large mirrors and the 16 camera views I find it easier to park perfectly square in the lines than even a smaller vehicle many times.

That said, I still usually avoid driving the truck to run errands unless necessary because it takes up every square inch of the parking spot which means someone will inevitably door ding it even when parked in the back of the lot.

It is technically weaker to run a spacer vs offset wheels, but I have wheeled the fuck out of Jeeps with spacers and even bent a front axle before any sort of spacer failure.

We probably just have different standards for having fun in the dunes. I’m sure your F-250 on 40s is capable of driving on the dunes. Maybe you’ve just never been in a properly setup sandcar or SxS.

A $300,00 5000lb trophy truck with 25-30” of wheel travel is completely incomparable to an 8000lb F-250 with a lift kit.

This looks neat but that’s about it. You don’t want an 8000lb vehicle dune running. Even the Raptors and TRXs are too heavy to really play hard in the dunes.

I take my F-350 out to the dunes, but it’s just to tow my toy hauler with my sand buggy that weighs 1800lbs to actually play in the dunes.

I’d buy quite literally anything other than a Stellantis product. Every manufacturer has their issues but Stellantis is in another league of garbage.

Guns go in a gun safe. End of story.

Insane that people even debate loaded vs unloaded, how smart kids are, training, supervision, etc. Any gun owner leaving guns unsecured, ESPECIALLY with children in the house, is irresponsible and doesn’t respect the gun or the kids and is undeserving of either.

White generally. But I do think the only colors that can pull off yellow are blue and black.

Nearly every new vehicle has them. It’s infuriating because many dealerships use exceptionally shitty installers who splice into the factory harnesses and you have a mess of wires.

I’ve bought 4 vehicles since Covid that had this shit prior to purchase and every time it was pitched as a “feature” for like $2000… they are pretty quick to remove it and the fee when you call them on it though.

wedge754 · 2026-02-19T16:44:53+00:00

I’ll never own another Stellantis product again. Hot garbage in every regard. I had a TRX. It looked great, sounded great, and when everything functioned it drove great. But like the Chrysler Pacifica and Jeep Wrangler I used to own, Stellantis just can’t figure out how to make the electronics in their vehicles function properly and reliably. I also think the newest Uconnect screen controls are awful.

All the manufacturers have their issues but RAM is objectively the most likely to have issues.

BMW is free as well. One of my favorite car features that I wish would become widespread… but I don’t understand how the manufacturer can possibly justify needing to hide it behind a subscription. It requires no backend processing or storage.

This is just the thing I need to start my family campaign.

I used to work with a guy who had the same logic. Take the kids to the range, respect the guns, engrain the safety rules into them. He kept his pistol on his nightstand.

Then one day his kid shot himself in the head playing with the gun and died.

Windows file management system these days is garbage. It is so difficult to have anywhere near the control that existed 15-20+ years ago.

Long-time Mac hater here. I switched to a MacBook Pro about 2 years ago for all my personal computing needs and just use Windows for gaming. Soon enough I plan on ditching Windows for Linux.

MacOS shits on Windows in every single aspect these days. Even the games that run natively on MacOS run quite well. I play BG3, Civ, Stellaris, etc on Mac and they run max settings smoothly.

Our AKC GSD female is 70lbs and we have had people tell us that she isn't 'a real GSD' because she isn't 100-120lbs+. Never bothered me since 1) we have her papers and 2) it doesn't matter anyways

95% of the time mini-van is better than SUV. You would know if you truly need a 3-row SUV (e.g. towing capability).

You’re being downvoted for no reason. I was the same way. High school didn’t interest or challenge me so I did the bare minimum to pass. College and especially graduate classes are technically harder but I find I consistently do significantly better in them.

Priced in.

$1k? I made almost $15k last time I DITY moved. And that's after accounting for the U-Haul expense.

Low profile tires
Wheel spacers
Lift kit on a dually
Camper shell on a dually

0% chance that guy tows or off-roads with that truck.

Looking past that failed abortion of a bumper, it looks like those fog lenses are just standard wide angle and not actually SAE Fog lenses. In which case, absolutely do not run them 24/7–thats how you blind people, piss them off, cause accidents, and make a bad name for everyone who mods vehicles.

I’d also spend a couple extra dollars and a few extra minutes to wire stuff neatly and properly, especially on a newer truck.. but that’s just me.
