    You know why they don't build computers in the UK?

    Couldn't figure out a way to make them leak oil.

    I was at a Sonics game once, and they brought a pair of new Harleys out to center court at the half. When they cleared the floor for the second half of the game, they had to send a dude with a spray bottle and towel out there to clean up the oil one of them leaked.

    If a vehicle isn't reliable, it should just be driven off a cliff. That's why people stroke themselves over Japanese rigs. I've had my Tacoma for almost 20 years and 370k miles and it's left me stranded zero times - which just happens to be the acceptable amount of times. That's a big selling point for me.

    We got a foot of snow last night, so I'm going to go out and do some 4x4 driving. Just trying to figure out the best way to get out of town without some fucktard hitting me. You should see these retards try to drive around out there.

    Here in N. Idaho, we call them "the fucktards from W. Washington and California overpaying for real estate".

    But we like their home equity/cash deals in spite of their lack of snow-driving skills.



    Hey now @PurpleThrobber I’m a so cal kid who can outdrive any of you N. Idaho fucks in the snow.
    I don't think so, Holmes. You can't rank amateurs with professionals - the natives are in a different league altogether. Snow drivin' and red neckin' go hand in hand.

    Wasnatch Mts of Utah of get more snow than Lookout Pass. Lots of redneck Mormons to go snow 4 x 4 ing in the snow with when I was in HS. Trust me on this one. I’m the Rocky Bobby of snow driving.

    I’ve been deep into the woods with @dflea in the isis mobile. Walking out would have sucked.
    Walking out would have sucked ass, and coming back to your truck later to find it fucked up by meth heads or rampaging indians sucks worse. Truck must start.

    What the fuck is the deal with the new colors Toyota has for the Tacoma, though? Is that periwinkle? Or baby shit tan? I mean, the color of the truck isn't all that important to me, but who walks into the showroom and picks out the periwinkle Tacoma?

    Don’t buy new.

    Buy used, 1-2 years old with under 10k miles. Save many Thousands.

    No Ford love?

    Expedition 335k sold it running like a champ. 2 wheel bearings and a couple of fuel sensors for about $50 each, and just brakes, tires and fluids( full synthetic oil every 10k, Tranny oil at 50k)

    Explorer 220k ‘04, same maintenance regiment as the Expo but it burned up wheel bearings. 14 in all. Most were replaced under warranty but, the inconvenience was a nuisance.

    Explorer 340k. ‘14, fires right up and runs great. Probably trading it for a 2020 this year

    Escape 2014 2.0 turbo, 225k, flawless. Best snow vehicle ever created. Period. End of discussion.

    Yes, I drive a lot.

    Fuck trucks. 7 seats come in handy from time to time and you can rent a trailer that will hold twice your truck bed from Home Depot or U- haul for like $30 bucks when you need a dump run

    I drive a truck to put dead things in the back. And filthy, dirty things.

    If you have 7 seats, then that makes it likely a bunch of people will want a ride. Fuck that shit.

    Yeah, that blue is weird on non-sports cars, but I like that quicksand/tan color. Gives it a military look.

    Based on experience there are some brands/badges that I'll never own again:
    Rover
    Jag
    BMW
    Anything Chrysler or close to it
    Nissan/Infiniti

    I'm sure there are others, I just haven't been stupid enough to buy them yet.

    At @Swaye , seeing that terrorist makes me sad. Do you have any ideas about how to get Bazey over here? @PurpleBaze ?

    Is it the whole Muslim concept of borrowing and interest that offends him?
