Yah, I dunno why. There are other fiction books and sci-fi I blaze straight through. Dune, for whatever reason; not so much. Maybe it's the age in which it was published that makes for different...

Those trucks are over $80k now. They afford them because they spend all their money or they finance them for 80 or 90-some months.

From someone who has been down with food poisoning over a dozen times... yah. It's teh suk. The shitty part, it's primarily been from eating out.

Ironically, Porsche specs winter wheel and tire sizes for all of their cars. They expect you to drive it in the winter.

FKNA, me too! I'm trying to work my way through the book. It's a slog.

Yes, there's that. It's a great reminder that things could be worse and that I should calm my tits about skiing.

As a homeowner, I've rarely used my truck for honey-do things. You can hire for that. :D

Please see: The Shit That Annoys You Thread, down the hall.

They will might, but Toyota, Ford, and the others are selling shit piles of trucks with short beds. They can't suck that much...

Or people aren't doing truck things with their shortbed trucks....

The impact on skiing... it shouldn't be this hard to go ski slide downhill with sticks on our feet. /whine

Head on over the RV sleeping in parking lots thread. Lots of good info in there. I tried going down the half-ton-with-a-camper route and invariably, you'll end up with a three-quarter or one-ton...

Be honest with yourself; do you really need a full-size truck? Or is it a nice-to-have.

With the exception of Toyotas, most other full-size truck OEMs have an unpleasant depreciation curve. And...

Look at the funbags on that hose hound

Fat-Harden, Petulant-Kyrie, and Emo-KD... man, should be a dumpster fire. Good times to come, to be sure.

Eh, only somewhat. The interior bits and other consumables are far more durable than people think, especially compared to some of the garbage major OEMs are putting out these days. Keep in mind that...

If that happens, I hope the trainers are ready to work. Harden looks like he's been hitting takeout, hard.

Totally agreed. It's a unicorn among the 'Yota bros. Layer on the overlanders and your GX is a wet dream for that crowd.

Oddly, it's now become a weird way to park some cash, these sought-after...

That's better. I'm familiar with them and the platform. It's a neat idea. And like I said; the type of truck the majority of truck buyers should buy.


Typical comment from a typical truck owner...

Used car prices are nuts right now.

Any vehicle that remotely relates to the outdoors enjoys a nice premium. Trucks to haul campers, tow trailers, boats, and gear command more money. SUVs for the...

Same. The majority of truck buyers seldom, if ever, need the truck. I like the Ridgeline in concept. The original one was close and the new one is sweet on the inside, but not sure what they were...

Sweet rental car :fmicon:

Kidding, of course. Those are Mustangs done proper.

I hope the Blazer come out pissed and lay waste to the T-Wolves. They need redemption after that tired and uninspired effort against the depleted Bulls. Vegas says Blazers -9.5, but there's no way I...

2021 made it five and a half days before it went off the rails. Fucking lame.

I want off this ride.

In this game, no one wins.

My, how we have fallen.

The prison of disbelief is a tough out, it seems.

There was a time... I have a story... :D

On paper, it makes sense. But I just can't. Not with the way he's played over the years. No thanks.

There are a lot of Blazer fans frothing at the mouth right now; trade CJ for anyone, Nurk is...

Same. And I check the t-stat, which is usually maxed out to 80 degreeds.


They do. A buddy had a Fiat 500e for a hot minute and that thing heated up faster than any car I've ridden in.

Given today's female fashion fad of fake, painted on eyebrows - this is where we are headed.

They do and there is; Willamette Pass. It's a pretty small hill, and it's rather prone to rain, much more so than the other Oregon Cascade ski hills. The upside is that you're far enough south as to...

You could. Bring meth and a healthy love for the damp and gray. Oakridge is quite moist. And remote. Likely too remote for most tech-weenz to relocate.

That crank-the-car-heat-to-max thing is my wife, too. All this despite all cars equipped with auto temp. :nonono2:

Boner town!

That's rad.

What most people fail to realize is that Porsche has always been an engineering and design company, including most Porschephiles. For much of it's life, it build sports cars. They then...

still meh

My, so much angsty gen-x and millennial rage in here. Is everyone grumpy from spending time with their in-laws? Or is everyone still reeling from a gnarly NYE hangover?

Try decaf, some of you......

Flash review of the Deathwish... believe the hype.

After an afternoon of ripping around on some wind-affected, blown-in, and otherwise decent PNWet snow; I really like these skis. I'm a long-time...

Linked up with thefortress yesterday and enjoyed many windy and low-viz hot-laps on MHX before the lifts were locked down.

Now, enjoy just some mediocre beer stoke while we wait out the pineapple...

When used in moderation and you know, when it's actually genuine, it's good. Otherwise, yah, every email is a no-go.

lulz

That is for sure happening at some ski resort, somewhere, this season. Guaranteed.

My point wasn't lifties; the ones I've seen have been great. It's been other skiers and riders being assholes to each other. Or more precisely, some classic PNWet passive-aggressive whisper-shouting....

This pleases me. Mine are mounted up and I aim to get my first day on them tomorrow in what is sure to be a spicy storm day in the PNWet. Although I mounted mine 1cm aft of the recommended line.

2020 would like a word with you...
