Here's the picture. Rolled several times. Airbags deployed. I post this picture keeping in mind that a young man died in this truck. Please let's all pause a moment to remember what is truly important here.

Glad to have the Owl return. Aging males lose high frequency hearing and the bird chirp was tough for me to hear. Women lose low frequency hearing first so the chirp may have been fine for them. Personally I think men lose high frequency so they don't have to listen to their wives, and women...
I've lived in Tucson for most of my 69 years (excluding a total of 13 years).
Here's some useful info on Mt Lemmon where this crash occured. The Mt Lemmom highway runs 27 miles from the base in the desert at below 2000 ft elevation up to the ski valley (the actual Mt Lemmon) up to 9200 ft...
I buy American whenever I can and it is a major consideration. I have a gen 1 R1t. I have a deposit on an R2 but would prefer an R3.
For my next ev , I will be towing behind a motorhome. Kia EV3 single motor will be front wheel drive and I can pull it on a tow dolly. R2 and R3 single motor...
Maybe George Santos can manage the deincentivization. No loyalist goes unrewarded. He's about as qualified as RFK jr, Noem, Gabbard and Matt Gaetz. Maybe even pocket some bucks along the way.
My pickup was scheduled by Rivian as no later than June 28 . My pension check is deposited between the 28th and 30th and I needed it to have the needed amount. I tried to get them to change the pickup date 2 or 3 days later, and they wouldn't. Fortunately the deposit came on the 28th. They do...
Until I see evidence that Rivian windshields chip and crack at a higher rate than other vehicles I won't accept it as being true. I commuted on the Interstate to work and back for 15 years. Every vehicle I owned had at least a repair if not a replacement. 2008 Ford f250, 2003 Hyundai elantra...
Here's one that swings out if you want to spend lots of money. Called Ultraswing. Trailer hitch mounted. Allows for access to hatch. Also get yourself a nice cover to protect and beautify. I have an R1t and a full size spare fits nicely in the bed provided space. I wouldn't be caught without one.
As a regular at the Imperial dunes (Glamis) for 15 years my advice to any truck , SUV owner is enjoy the flats, stay near the roads, never attempt the bowls or hills, never venture off, always travel in groups, and always have numerous backup plans and extraction equipment. I've been stuck...
Reminds me of a couple of movie quotes
"Say, I like the color of your car there, man. What's that s'posed to be? Sort of a cross between piss yella' and puke green, ain't it?" : by Harrison Ford, American graffiti
Nick Pulovski played by Clint Easrwood commenting to Charie Sheen, in the...
Happy to have received full PPF for free and powered Tonneau cover for $500 on my 2024 R1t as they were clearing the store for the gen 2's in June. What a lucky break that was.
What impresses me about Rivian is that with minor modifications it can race top of the line sports cars on the quarter mile, run Pikes peak against modified track vehicles, and offroad against the best off roaders on the market, many of them heavily decked out from the factory or modified...
I may see 1 or 2 per month here in southern Az. I saw my first canyon red R1t yesterday. I've seen El Cap, White, Compass yellow, Blue, mines Silver, Black. Don't think I've seen Limestone or any greens yet. Must be alot more of them in the big progressive metro centers.
So if you repeat your test at 66k miles will we have 3 points needed to see if degradation is linear or Infering a nonlinear curve? At a percentage of remaing total or at a steady rate of decline?
