  1. Yep, same. My 2017 Tundra is hopefully the last truck I'll ever buy. It's paid off, and it's the best truck I've ever owned. At some point in the future, I'd like to get a sporty little coupe to drive around town and for weekend getaways and the like. Hopefully in the next couple years there will be some plugin hybrid cars that fit the bill. Mercedes AMG has the C43, which has the type of powertrain I'm talking about...a turbo 4 with hybrid assist, 400HP, 30ish MPG and a 4 second 0-60...but it's fucking ugly. If BMW would offer a similar powertrain in an M car, I'd probably get on the waiting list for it right now.
  2. Yea, we got about 5 minutes of pea sized hail and maybe 15 minutes of pretty hard rain. Just enough to keep the mtb trails closed another week.
  3. Son is a swimmer, daughter runs track. The worst "Cost per minute" had to be round trip airfare and 3 days in a hotel to watch your daughter run for 58 seconds at AAU Jr Olympics. Both my kids thought they wanted to run/swim in college...until some of their older teammates got the opportunity and came home with stories about how much it sucked. As Brisket posted above, it's a huge time commitment, and unless you're Olympics level elite you'd almost always be better off having a traditional college experience.
  4. Slovakia is a member of NATO, FYI.
  5. Still better than Marco Andretti…
  6. Guess I'll just stand here and wait for that money to trickle down...
  7. Not the thread bump I was hoping for, but it will do.
  8. Red Snapper charter
  9. still alive, huh? Okay.
  10. That looks like it will arrive just in time for my dogs to wake me up freaking out at 3:00 AM.
  11. Depending on what kind of ground you're on, I've seen guys use a spare tire as an anchor point. Dig a deep and narrow hole, run the recovery strap through the center of the wheel, then drop it vertically into the hole.
  12. It really just needs to be a flying gas tank with a small incendiary warhead and a radio controller. Probably a 2 cylinder or 3 cylinder rotax knockoff. Just do the math on fuel consumption and build accordingly. Shit, Google says a Cessna 172 has a range of around 1,000 Km
  13. Hopefully we're sending more guns or at least barrels along with the ammo.
  14. It matches his Molon Labe sticker on the passenger side.
  15. Let's not forget this woman's rise in the alt-right began with her following around and heckling school shooting survivors.
  16. And the employee discount could come in handy.
  17. "Brain worms? He been swimmin in the stock tanks? You know that happened to Jimmy and Darline's boy Maverick last summer. They had to take him to the big hospital over in Brownwood and he was innair for 3 weeks! He's fine now, except for a little twitch in his right eye. But that could be from when he hit that tree on his 3-wheeler."
  18. As wet as it is now, that 3" would pretty much all run off. Fingers crossed.
  19. This. At this point a vote for anyone but Joe Biden might as well be a vote for Trump. We gotta fix this femoral artery laceration before we worry about the broken leg. (Yes, I know he's not running for President this year, but this applies to any of these third party fringe guys)
  20. I know some great carp spots on Buchanan once the level rises. Like fishing tailing reds on a flood tide.
  21. Buy a few drones from Ukraine and solve the problem as soon as they find it.
