Happy Birthday Gramps ☯️

I hope you got your wish — to watch the final round of the US Open in peace.

You lying fuck, Race. You’re way older than that.

I miss America damn it!

Walked through Car d’ Alene last Saturday. OMG. We used to be a serious nation
Cars had soul. Cars had style. There was a pecking order of coolness embodied in one’s vehicle.
Now we have endless rows of gray, white and black Toyota/Hyundai/Kia/Nissan SUVs that are indistinguishable from one another. Couldn’t tell you the difference between a 2015 model and a 2025 model of any make these days
Same with architecture Bland

Send nudes!

Toyota’s SUVs have plenty of style and look cool. Those other brands are for fags.
-
Nobody is waxing up their Highlander and entering them in car shows.
And the Throbber has two of them. Gray and darker gray.

I’m hearing that late stage capitalism sucks donkey balls
Just what I’m hearing don’t twist
Congrats to @RaceBannon on the 69!
-
They now feature shit powertrains, though.
-
I'm probably the only poster here who has tried to keep the cool, American car legacy going. You could be driving a Hellcat Charger with plenty of room for 4 and a large trunk. Hell, even a Durango SRT or a Escalade V would get a cool vote from me - the Escalade V screaming around Downtown DC a few week ago was a riot!
Instead, we're talking about fucking Toyotas.
-
Oh, and happy birthday to our Duck Fighter Illustrated fren.
-
I wouldn't touch a Chrysler product with 10 foot pole. Garbage.
Escalades are douchey AF.
People forget the Tundra is one of the most "American" made trucks on the road. Our Sequoia was made in Indiana.
I do like a the newer Z71 Tahoes. That's a nice looking ride that would be an extension of my personality.
-
Did I say Highlander @PurpleThrobber? I said Landcruiser, 4 Runner and Sequoia. They car show cars for the record.
I think they'll get the kinks our of the drive train @BleachedAnusDawg . Not my problem though. I have the 5.7L I Force V-8 which is one of the most reliable engines on the road.

The primary issue with the new drivetrains, IMO, is that they're all moving to turbo-4 cylinders in large, heavy SUV's. Not a great recipe for longevity when that turbo is constantly having to spool to get the rig moving, but they do have impressive looking specs that will sell people on buying them. FYI, the Lexus GX is the rig to get with its twin turbo 6-cylinder (and happens to be better looking, too).
This is important birthday advice for Race.

Sounds like I need to get my diesel suburban in a car show.
-
Late 1980 's Suburbans and K-5's are peak American SUVs.
The Ford Explorer was the beginning of the end.
-
Ours is a 2021, but I figure if Kias can be in a car show, so can the burb
-
You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman and the least Childless Cat Lady among us!
-
keeping it cool American car legacy superiority guy heard from, every board has one.
Fuck Vanity
-
A little vehicular vanity if you can afford it never hurt anyone.
-
Proud owner of a '97 4Runner LMTD and '02 Tundra AC SR5… and I wouldn't trade 'em for anything.
-
you sound poor brah
-
I laffed. Probably get it from my grandpas, but I prefer to buy products that last a long time, unlike most of the planned obsolescence BS produced now. Plus, most of these new vehicles are plastic and look like dogshit. Fuck all that, I need me some chrome. But hey, what the fuck do I know? I'm screaming at the clouds more everyday. And I don't have the skrill to go out and buy a G-Wagon. No, I'll happily mob my 3rd gen 4Runner with a shit eatin' grin on my face.
TLDR: Poor confirmed. -
We have 3 cars:
Mrs Nacho drives a 2021 Volvo XC60. It’s their “midsize” SUV but it’s pretty fucking small.
I drive a 2023 Ford F150 hybrid not because I set out to buy a hybrid but because the only F150 I could find last year that met all my criteria was a hybrid. My initial look was at a 2024 Tundra but the extra $25k and part of the design had me go back to a Ford.
My all American classic is a 1984 Jeep CJ7. I came close to putting it up for sale last year but thought better of it and now plan to keep it until I’m 80 at which point it gets offered to the Nacho offspring.
-
Rather than buy newer cars that run like older cars, I’d rather just keep my older cars, that, let’s face it, run like shit. But at least it has 5 ashtrays. So there’s that.
And happy birthday Race.

My dad had a 1967 z28. Not many of those were made.
-
Which one?
