  I find it fascinating that this North American First Nations tribe chose to name themselves after the Australian derivative ‘Ute’ (for ‘utility vehicle’) which is basically is the same as a pick-up truck.

    This particular tribe actually visited Australia thousands of years ago and borrowed a ute, they liked it so much they named themselves after it

    I’m pretty sure it’s a linguistic coincidence, they’re a tribe that’s been around for a long time. ☝️🤓

    Yes, because a Native American nation couldn’t possibly have existed before the Australian version of pick-up trucks. If it’s meant to be a joke, didn’t quite land.

      I’m not sure if it’s a home either unless they had sport utility vehicles in… 1897.

      Oh, it landed, just like Taylor Swift arriving at home

      No no, trucks, not land.

    This post left me very confused for a good 30 seconds, why would a bunch of car enthusiasts install solar panels? … Oh

  I’m all for this. There is basically nothing out there.
