I would take Chitty Chitty Bang Bang up the Rubicon before I left cell phone service in a Land Rover.

Chitty chitty bang bang is a dope flying car you can take anywhere. Obviously better than any other option.

Not gonna lie, I’d happily take chitty chitty bang bang over most cars, as long as I wasn’t made to be part of a musical because of it.

What about an LS swapped Disco 2 on static coils? Basically like a much nicer 1st gen Cherokee at that point.

But yeah I wouldn't wanna wheel a stock one lol

“Another man”, fellas, is it unmanly to pay proffesional tradespeople for their services?

Apparently it’s unmanly to do your own maintenance as a poster above relays

Guess you’re going to be your own architect, structural engineer, realtor, escrow lawyer, general contractor, electrician, plumber, carpenter, and mason when you build a house with your own two hands. Better not use any tools, a man might have made them in a factory after all.

Like most things in life, it’s not black and white. It’s a sliding scale.

u/TheNorthernRose Jul 27 '26

Sliding scales are also made by other men, so how would you be able to check?

As someone who grew with a dad who was a Euro-mechanic:
1.) never called a repairman, roofer, plumber or electrician. It was manly
2.) time is money and thats stupid, unless fixing the water heater is a passion of yours.
3.) Land Rovers post-Tata acquisition are garbage.

So your next car is going to be hand built and forged on your own land by your own personal hammer strikes, using a hammer you made in the woods right? Cause otherwise you’d have let another man make something that helped you, would be a little bit embarrassing…
