TIL. Thanks for sharing buddy

You nailed it. The light weight allows it to float a bit more in the rough stuff.

Don’t get me wrong, love the Taco but the Hijet is a rockstar all its own.

That’s because it’s a Mazda in ford clothing

I have a Daihatsu Hijet on my property. Pretty much use it like a quad. Spray paint camo job, 4x4, dump bed, w/ rear locker. Pretty awesome at pulling shit, getting thru muddy spots, etc.

I’ll say this - that little Hijet is a much, much more capable little rig than my 2014 Taco, let alone the stupid bro-dozer in the picture. I’ll probably bring it with me elk hunting next year so I can load up the bed with elk quarters and crawl out of the bush

Taking out a loan for a vehicle does not mean you are rich lol.

Anyone can get financing for a shitty new car, not everyone can figure out how to retire by the age of 55

You forgot complacency and apathy

Pretty sure I read they’re all losing money hand over fist, which is why they’re implementing ads and jacking up prices. Exception being Netflix.

Ah the good ol minivan motor Tacomas. They don’t make ‘em like they used to

Seriously. Had he not ran, or dropped out early, he could have probably started his own fringe news channel and lived a relatively unchanged, trouble free life and probably made some money doing it.

I personally think he expected to lose and wasn’t expecting the Russians to barely tip the scales to eek out an electoral college victory.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve made a shit ton of money in the market by investing in green technology.

My structural engineer buddy often says “I’m still an engineer when the power goes out” lol

Having someone over a barrel doesn’t really work if the guy over the barrel doesn’t care.

I get the vibe McCarthy doesn’t want to be speaker of the house anymore, probably because of the Q crazies he has to treat like “equals” in order to secure their vote.

Yea that was my point re: Nissans aren’t hat they used to be.

A brain damaged chimp could get financing for a Nissan. They certainly aren’t designed for quality anymore, regardless of fuel system

Glad to see you’re happy with your purchase bud

Yea the point I was making is they’re not the same company the once we’re. Nissan of the late 90’s no longer exists.

A 4 year old car should have zero issues but I say that being a Toyota owner.

The Leaf’s air cooled batteries lacking any kind of thermal management is usually a deal breaker for most folks. But yes, I’m sure Nissan chose to do that for quality reasons.

Lol I think their incompetent QA/QC department would like to speak with you.

Nissan vehicles are hot garbage. Go drive a Leaf sometime and see for yourself

It’s really just as simple as tribalistic zero sum game politics. They want to damage the other side at whatever cost. It’s fueled by hate whipped into a frenzy by social media because it makes a lot money for social media companies to have people so engaged in hating others.

I used to be a republican, back before GW Bush & Cheney sent me off to Iraq to go look for yellowcake lol. I also have never used Facebook, Instagram or any other social media platforms outside of Lemmy (formerly Reddit). All of that said, the transformation of the R party into what it is today has been pretty disturbing for me. Frankly it reminds me of the fanatic suicide bomber Islamic extremism you see in the Middle East and elsewhere.

Not counting the suicides, cyber bullying and countless psychological disorders amplified by social media…sure, nobody has died because they didn’t get “likes” lol

Please just fleece them for all they’re worth. They deserve it and will not do anything useful with the money
