    I know if I got so utterly owned by a completely anonymous stranger the very first thing I would do is run to the news and tell them all about it.

      To piss them off, I would add fake breasts to a small sedan and tell them it’s the same thing.

        Ooh I live near cowboys. You do NOT want to piss them off.

        That’s why I told YOU his truck is trans, NOT him.

          I live near cowboys too, and pissing them off is basically a local pastime. They get red in the face if you refer to their lifted pickup Pavement Princess as “gender-affirming care”. They’ll balk at first. Then you drop the “you drive it cuz that’s what real men drive, right? Because it makes you feel manly? Yeah buddy, that’s gender-affirming care.” They’ll piss and moan about how it’s not true, but they’ll remember it going forwards. Every time they start to drop the “real men drive trucks” BS, they’ll remember that conversation.

    I have a Jeep.

    Kind of a useless on-road or urban vehicle and so it’s only used for my frequent trips requiring 4×4.

    Range Rovers are a weird one because they too are pretty useless on-road while also being notoriously useless off-road. Really highlights insecurity, stupidity, ora combination of the two.

      Funny, in Australia Jeep is not respected as an of road vehicle, we don’t do much rock crawling which is where they shine.

      LandCruiser is the off-road vehicle here. Isuzu off-road trucks are also respected

      Jeeps are not sufficiently reliable

        They’re very reliable because of their mechanical simplicity (intentional) which also makes them very easy to work on in the wilderness with a minimalist tool kit by design. Have never had a “failure” in 130,000 and that thing gets mechanically pushed so hard. Granted I maintain it very well due to the role is has.

        But compared to Toyota reliability, that’s kind of their whole reputation. And I guess outside of the few major cities, Australians aren’t exactly surrounded by towns and workshops, so it makes sense they want the most reliable. The LandCruiser is, after all, an agriculture vehicle first, but with fairly good off-road capability as part of that design. They’ve been designed to be in the middle of no where farming for years and be able to limp for months if a part fails and can’t be repaired any time soon.

        Not sure why you’d pick one as a recreation vehicle, though, unless touring extreme remote is your main 4×4ing. I don’t imagine every Australian is into that though. And even then, I’dprobably take an Ineos or a classic Unimog for the lols.

          If that’s the way they are in America, I’m surprised. In Australia and the UK they are famous for being one of very few vehicles where you come out ahead if you buy extended warranty

          Probably a Red Bull can then, because uk and USA cans are like 8” and 10” in circumference. Red Bulls are something like 6.5”.

          Don’t ask why I know this useless info unless you like to know more about geek night trivia, and beer.

    Mortified seems like a strong reaction. Somewhere between annoyed and reflective should be the response.

      He was mortified to find out it was a joke. Imagine how disappointing that would be after calling that number!

    But what if I have a legitimate use for a 4x4 and I use it daily. Do you want me to buy a grocery car?
