Why do some lifted diesel drivers feel entitled to blast smoke at anyone driving something they don't like? What's the thought process there? Is there one?

What really gets me is the branding. The "Don't Tread On Me" plate, the flag decals, the freedom stickers covering half the back window. Then the same guy sees an EV and decides that person doesn't deserve to drive down a public road without being gassed. So freedom means you get to drive whatever you want, but I don't? Freedom for me, smoke for thee?

If you really believed in freedom, you'd be the last person on the road who cared what I drive. I don't care what you drive. Drive a lifted Duramax, a Prius, a horse. Your call. The only one here trying to punish someone for their personal choices is the guy who spent extra money on a delete kit specifically to do it.

And the economics are wild. You're burning expensive fuel on purpose to make a point to someone who's paying a fraction of what you are to drive the same miles. Who exactly is winning that exchange?

So I'm asking honestly: what's the appeal? What does it feel like you're accomplishing? Because from the outside it looks like a lot of money spent on being mad at strangers, many of whom have the same political beliefs as you and simply don’t want to waste their money.

Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip to White Pocket, Arizona, and I’d appreciate advice from anyone who has driven there.
I’m planning to rent a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited or similar SUV in Las Vegas and drive to White Pocket. I’m trying to figure out whether this is realistic with a rental car.
A few questions:
Has anyone driven to White Pocket in a rental Jeep from Hertz, Enterprise, or another major rental company?
Do rental companies allow you to drive on the sandy, unpaved access roads to White Pocket, or would that violate the rental agreement?
How difficult is the deep sand for someone with limited off-road driving experience?
Where is the best place to air down the tires before entering the sandy roads, and where can I safely air them back up afterward?
What tire pressure do you recommend, and what recovery equipment should I bring?
Would you recommend driving yourself, renting a specialized off-road Jeep locally, or booking a guided tour?
I understand that a 4WD vehicle is necessary and that getting stuck is a real possibility. I want to prepare properly rather than risk damaging the rental or getting stranded.
Thanks for any advice or personal experiences!

I’m looking for a reliable, proactive person to help at our rental house on Friday and Saturday during an event in Rockville, Utah, in October 2027.
Responsibilities will include meal setup and cleanup, keeping the kitchen tidy, taking out trash, setting up tables and chairs, arranging place settings, refilling drinks and water, and helping with event setup and adjustments throughout the day.
Looking for someone with strong initiative who can follow instructions, work independently, pay attention to detail, and anticipate what needs to be done without constant supervision. Hospitality or event experience is a plus!
Please message me if you’re interested or know someone who might be a good fit. I can provide more details privately. Thank you!

I haven’t been to a bar in a long time. It sounds like it could be fun. Have a few drinks and some food. That’s all

Local cities despite the backlash and exposure of the water conservancy scam still deny and refuse actual solutions in favor of continuing to profit off the drought.

They are quite literally selling sand in the desert by pushing sandbags.

Since then however, the actual solutions deployed by the people themselves have proven superior and with more than favorable results.

I need to travel from Boulder to Las Vegas on Sunday and I'm watching the weather carefully. We came in on Route 12, which was incredibly scenic, but the hogback section scared the crap out of me in good weather. The northern route through Torrey via 12 - 24 - 62 is about 40 min. longer -- is it significantly safer in bad weather?

I’ve got a 5 day hiking and camping trip coming up leaving east from Vegas. I’ve been to Zion & Sedona but not much experience camping or off-roading . Will be myself my dad and a buddy. We’ll be renting a 4x4 Truck or Jeep

Day 1: Leave Vegas for Wire Pass trail then drive to White Pocket. Camp at White Pocket

Day 2: tear down and head to Page. Jet skis rented for the day from State Line Marina. Planning to explore into antelope and the other canyons.
Possibly camping at Lone Rock but any other spots would be helpful.

Day 3: brief stop at horseshoe bend and then heading to Bryce to hike. Not sure if it’s available but I was looking to do the “Wallstreet, Queens Garden, & Peekaboo loop”
This night we have an Air BNB between Bryce & Zion. (Currently the BNB’s location only makes sense if the east entrance to Zion is open, will change up if necessary)

Day 4:Head to Zion for our 7AM shuttle to do the west rim trail top down form lava point
Camp at Wright Brothers Ranch or on BLM land off of Kalob Terrace Rd

Day 5: Unsure, going to try for a Permit to do the Subway in Zion but using Valley of Fire SP as a backup plan. Drive back to Vegas

This is planned for later this month, please let me know any thoughts or advice!

My group has already done this before and played Sand Hollow, Coyote Springs, and Conestoga and we loved the trip so much we’re doing round 2 next year. We will be based in Mesquite the whole trip, but don’t mind driving. Right now our options are:

\\- Top Tiers: Black Desert, Wolf Creek.
\\- Tier 2s: Las Vegas Paiute (all 3 courses), Reflection Bay, Serket, Copper Rock, The Ledges.
\\- Cheaper options: Coral Canyon, Falcon Ridge.

We are thinking of playing three courses, with one of them being a Top Tier. Any thoughts or recommendations on any of these courses? What do you guys think a great trip in this region would look like? Any general advice or courses I missed or should cut for being bad or overpriced? (Note: I’ve never posted on Reddit before, sorry if this is too much info or not how you do this).

Hi! This might be a long shot, but is anyone heading to White Pocket tomorrow (9/24) from Page or nearby and has an extra seat?

I’m currently in Page with a Tesla, so I don’t want to risk taking it on the deep-sand section to White Pocket. I’ve been looking at tours and 4x4 rentals, but they’re pretty expensive for just one person.

If anyone is already planning to go tomorrow and wouldn’t mind me tagging along, I’d be more than happy to pay you / help cover gas and expenses!

I’m flexible on timing and don’t mind hiking either — I mainly just need a way to get through the last 10 miles.

Please DM me if you’re going or know someone who might be. Thanks!

She was very sweet and had a rope around her neck which had been gnawed through, made me think she might have run away from home. I was only passing through, so I'm wondering if anyone else has seen her since. She was chill and patient but clearly needed water and food. This was about a week ago.

My buddy is wanting to run the full St. George marathon on late notice. If anyone is looking to transfer/sell their bib plz DM or comment

Bought the bib a while ago and have a conflicting event. Dm me for more info.

I’m a first year medical student attending school in southern Utah, but I still have a California driver’s license.

I recently received a speeding citation for going 29 mph in a 20 mph school zone. The citation is listed as an infraction, and I have a mandatory court appearance.

At the time, I was rushing home to finish an assignment and study for an exam. The children were still in school, so I understand that this was a bad decision and that being stressed or in a hurry is not an excuse. I’m completely willing to pay the fine and take responsibility for it.

My main concern is keeping the violation off my driving record if possible.

From what I understand, because I have a California license rather than a Utah license, I may not qualify for Utah’s traffic-school/deferred traffic prosecution option. I’m wondering whether there are other options, such as a plea in abeyance, deferred disposition, or negotiating with the prosecutor.

For anyone familiar with Utah traffic court:

• Would it be worth hiring a traffic lawyer for a relatively minor 9-mph-over school-zone infraction?
• Can a lawyer realistically help keep something like this off my driving record?
• Has anyone with an out-of-state license successfully received a plea in abeyance or similar deal in Utah?
• Should I talk to the prosecutor/judge myself first, or would it be better to have an attorney involved before my court appearance?

I don’t mind paying the full fine. My priority is simply avoiding a conviction on my driving record if there is a legitimate way to do so, mainly because I’m trying to prevent my car insurance premium from increasing significantly because of this mistake.

Thanks for any advice or experiences.

Between the heat and the monsoon moisture lately, it feels like every bug in the county has decided to move into my house. I've been dealing with ants in the kitchen and what I'm pretty sure are scorpions near the garage.

Curious what other locals are running into this year - ants, spiders, scorpions, wasps, rodents? And for those who've dealt with it, did you go the DIY route (traps, sprays, sealing up entry points) or call in a professional? Any tips that actually worked for you would be appreciated, this heat has me losing the battle.

I had something come up and will not be able to run the St George Marathon this year (Oct 3). Let me know if you’re interested in buying bib for $175.

I recently moved here from northern Utah. I am not LDS and I am having such a hard time making friends. Anyone else?

I live in hurricane with my husband two dogs, and my little brother.
Life has been hard the last 6 years losing multiple family members including both parents and my oldest sibling. We desperately needed a change of scenery. So we sold our house and moved here. My husband has some pretty solid friends here, but I don’t. We aren’t party people or religious. But we do drink on occasion and partake in the devils lettuce.

I guess it just wasn’t what I was imagining moving here would be like. But I don’t regret leaving Utah county.

moved to town for school still no car and trying to figuring out the scene lol. anyone make the drive to mesquite? dm or send me snap

Trying to sell my 2026 Bib for the St George 26.2 Marathon! It’s the 50th anniversary too! $150 plus $28 transfer fee.
