  1. If you didn't winterize/had water in the engine there's a pretty good chance the freeze we had this year could have cracked it. Hopefully it's just bad gas.
  2. Lake Austin boating season 2024 is officially underway.
  3. Oh, my bad, didn't realize we were in the Trey's hot takes on military spending Europe vs the US thread
  4. Way worse than that, rust on every bolt under the truck. I wouldn’t buy that, even if it was for a kid and expected to be totaled in 3 years. It’s going to have issues with the brakes, power steering and other little things
  5. FJ is a good first car. It's slow so it should keep the speeding in check, and it's amazingly safe. One FJ got rammed by multiple semi trucks going around 60 during the ice storm a few years ago in FW and the driver lived. I bought mine with 125k miles, have put 13k on in a year and a half and have only had one issue I had to take to the shop, a transfer case leak that cost $2k to fix. There's several posts in the FJ forum about guys not having it in the shop till 200k+ miles. The ones I looked at with >200k miles all seemed worn out compared to the one I got. The big thing you need to watch out for is rust. Toyota had some issues around that time with the coating on the frames. The 2010 I bought was from Canada and was rusting out. I had just totaled my 4runner and hurt my back so I didn't crawl under it when I bought it. I crawled completely under my 2012. Dealer thought I was nuts when he saw me completely under the truck crawling around. I took the 2010 to a body shop to get the frame/underside sand blasted and repainted and he crawled under and 5 seconds later came back up and said "sell it now". I bought it for $21k, drove it for a year and a half and sold it for $18 to a dealer. I saw it listed at a used car lot in Phoenix for $25k. I bought the 2012 for $28k, but it had a few thousand in addons including bumpers, roof rack and a winch. Later year models have more features and off road options than the older ones. If I totaled this one I'd look for a 2012-2014 with around 100k miles. If I was buying one for my kid I'd probably be ok with a 2007-2010 with 200k on it. Should run fine and have a once a year or so starter/alternator/fluid leak that will set you back $500-$1000.
  6. What time in the stream is the crazy hand? Video was from the start for me
  7. If you want to discuss american politics or tucker carlson there are threads for that in the cr
  8. I need this as I have decided to start microwaving my food
  9. Do you have an OC in one of those funny shapes?
  10. Played Big O tournament at Lodge on Monday. With 16 people left I had 800k in chips out of 3.7 million, no one else had $200k. Don’t win a hand for an hour, enter the final table with about 250k. Limp along for a bit, one guy refuses to chop and we’re down to 5 when I go on a run and end up knocking two out and we’re down to 3 and a have 3.3 million of the chips. I end up losing 5 all ins in a row, getting scooped each time and each time I was a huge favorite after the flop. I have AA234, villain KJ985, flop J65, two bricks. Next hand I have J6432 he has AAKT8, flop J65, turn 5, river brick. End up chopping and I got $1334. Went to bullets to play big o on Thursday and got slaughtered. came to TCH for the plo tournament, was chip leader with 4 left and we chopped and I won $730. playing plo bomb pot now
  11. Wow looks like a completely new dog in the last picture Tucker going counter surfing again. Pretty good hops for a 100 pound dog that should be around 60 pounds, 43 inch counter there
  12. There's a Tucker Carlson thread if you want to discuss that dipshit
  13. At the end of WW2 the same thought occurred to many people. The Roosevelt's wife was campaigning for camps to hold all the returning military to be quarantined for a while before letting them back into the country. Soldiers came home and there was no murder or crime spike.
  14. Final tally tournament 2 buy ins at $150, won $1000 = +$700 hold em -$200 plo bomb pot +$1020 pretty good night +$1520
  15. Guy sits down with $500. I know I’ve played with him and kinda remember him as a dick. My hand is 2456 Flop is 223 and KQ3 I check, he pots for $45, only I call. turns are 6’s on both boards. I check, he bets $100, I call. rivers are 2 and 7 giving me quad 2s and the nut straight I pot, he repots, I call. He had KQQ7 he stands up, says “I guess I’m not as good at this game as I thought, how the fuck do you call $100 with the lowest boat possible?” leaves to go play hold em. whole table was laughing at him, apparently no one likes him
  16. Donked off $200 in hold em, finally got a seat at plo bomb pot table.
  17. As a follow up to previous story, had turned $1000 into $300. Favorite hand during the downturn I have AA2s3s6. I raise preflop and get 2 callers. Flop is 4s5s7. I’m trying to figure out how to get them all in and they pot and repot ahead of me. I repot and all three of us are all in. turn is a 3, river is 6s, giving me straight flush and nut low. First guy turns over A2 and second guy turns over 7s8s. So nut low, straight flush gets me 1/4 of the pot. So it’s about 2am and the game is breaking. The hold em game going on happened to break right before us and 3 guys, 2 of which I know are complete idiots say they will play big o. The other guy who came over turned out to be really bad at big o but had a horseshoe up his ass and ran $500 up to $3000. Favorite hand I had with him I had AAJT3. He raises $30 pre flop and 2 of us call. Flop AJ3. Other guy in hand pots, idiot raises to $200 and we both call. Turn is a 5, they pot and repot and I’m out. What did he raise preflop with? K9742. Other guy had 42 too and they chop. we end up playing till 7am and I turned the $300 into $999, so I ended up playing 13 hours and lost $1. played the big o tournament at the lodge Monday and finished 4th and won $644. played the double board bomb pot tournament Thursday and fired two bullets and was out just after the first break. Drove down to bullets for the big o and ended up winning $250 came up to TCH for the Friday PLO. First buy in didn’t win one hand out right, just chopped one hand. Chip leader had $200k and I had around $20k. He raised preflop and I called with KdQsJd9s. flop is Td9dTc. I jam and he instantly calls and shows T9. Turn is a small card and I stand up assuming I’m drawing dead. Turns out I wasn’t as the Qd hits giving me a straight flush. Got going hitting straights and flushes and ran it up to 150k. Other big stack kept knocking people out. We got down to two and first payed $1275 and second $850. He had around $400k and I had $150k in chips. I offered him $1125 and me $1000 and he took it. now playing hold em waiting to degen it up playing at the plo bomb pot table
  18. updated that thread title Israel stuff here Iran / Red sea stuff there US political shit about these in the CR plz
  19. red sea thread should be the place for the iran stuff in my opinion, but open to ideas
  20. Owned a 98 4Runner and currently drive a 2012 FJ which has a bunch of the same parts, what do you want to know?
  21. As big of a bitch he was about mercedes race strategy, his head may explode after Ferrari fucks him out of a few podiums after dumb decisions.
  22. I have an FJ cruiser. I love it and will probably never get rid of it. But it's not great for long highway drives. I want to get something 10-20 years old that's sporty and would be good for the highway. Would like to keep it under $10k. Stick shift would be nice. Poking around craigslist and autotrader I've seen some challengers, 350/370z's, a few lexus' and a few mercedes that might fit the bill. I don't want a 40 year old car but is there something like a Tarus SHO or Grand National from the mid 2000's? Type-R? May fall back to an E63 AMG like I had before, but any ideas on something I should look for? Maybe something like this: Infiniti G35 Coupe 2005 3.5 Low Miles $4500 https://austin.craigslist.org/cto/d/austin-infiniti-g35-coupe-low-miles/7706862436.html
