Why not spec with Sasquatch?
Buddy owns a tire shop, so I can get what I want through him. Plus, when I ordered it 18 months ago, I was ordering it to leave at the house at the beach to use when we were down there. I wanted cheap (relatively speaking) with a spray out interior for sand and whatever else we got into with very limited options. I was going to leave it as it came. We sold the house right before the hurricane and have not been able to close on a replacement because of the issues down there right now, so Iām just going to daily drive it for now until we see how things shake out. Plus, I still have no idea what I want as my main vehicle. After putting 200 miles on this one today, I donāt think it is my long-term option for a daily driver.
Going to look at tires and lifts tomorrow. That will definitely make me feel better. These dinky tires donāt look right on it even though the BD has a pretty aggressive tire on it.
Picked up the new Bronco and am now officially without a truck for the first time in 25 years. This along with not having a boat is a strange feeling. Itās a little bit of a shock dropping from a Platinum 250 to a spray out interior 2 door Black Diamond. Going to look at older diesels and see what I can find for a weekend hauler.
Opened a 2021 Coy Hill and a 2018 GTS Iāve had sitting. Not a fan of the Coy Hill, Iām not sure I care anything about having another pour of it. The GTS on the other hand was worth the couple hundred bucks I paid for it before things got stupid.
Also, if you are buying new, the RRS has an 8 month wait according to our dealer. Curious what on that list can actually be bought today. Around here the GMās are a no, Expedition is a no, RRās are a no, Escalade is a no, donāt know about the others. Audiās are on lots, but not on your list.
Always preferred Louis Louis over Red Bar. Serve the same or similar menu without all the people. Great Southern was always good if you go into Seaside and the Donut Hole is the place to go for breakfast.
Ultimately, itās July. Everything will be packed. Hit the beach, go eat off hours, and be prepared for a shit ton of people.
Wife has had several of them, Tahoe, then RRS, then Expedition, now Escalade, and probably going back to the RR it looks like. The new Escalade has been the best one of the bunch for a lot of driving. We put quite a few miles on vehicles and I donāt have any issues taking off in it for 1000 mile trip to the beach. The RR Sport was the most fun to drive. The Expedition was fine, but she never cared for it and it didnāt last long.
Wife decided she wanted to go look at Range Rovers again, since it is about her normal trading timeframe. The dealership we have used in the past has an 18-24 month wait on the new ones with people putting down $5000 non refundable deposits. They have something like 300 vehicles on order between them, the RR Sport, and a few others. That is pretty damn nutty for a niche vehicle. You can drive off in a Defender but that was it. Saved me the trouble of buying one, but there is no telling what she comes up with next.
Iām always entertained by these conspiracies around sports, politics, the news, etc. In this look at me era we live in, Iām sure everyone is keeping it quiet these top down directives. That is a perfectly plausible explanation that seems totally legit.
Iām sure refs let things impact their calls, Iām sure the games have gotten too fast for most of them, Iām sure the availability of any angle replay has made their jobs impossible, but the leagues being rigged narrative is stupid. Itās also dumb as hell in game threads. Maybe itās your bias that drives the narrative in your head.
Got home tonight and noticed my pump making a lot of racket. Awesome, low 20ās tonight, steady freezing rain, and a pump that might be going out. Cleaned everything out, backwashed the filter, and set it to medium speed instead of variable and will hope it holds up. Also ran the heater for a while to get the water temp up just in case.
This winter has been brutal on my fairly new pool. During the epic freeze it popped the decking up around one side of the shallow end when water froze under the travertine. It settled to about a .5 inch or less difference in height at this point.
Put me in his camp, I had no idea what it was either when I saw it in the picture. Now I have no idea why it would be on a boat. People and misplaced pop culture references in general are strange.
No better days than blue bird days with no one else out. I prefer it to be a lot warmer at this point in my life before I go out though.
That is one hell of a dock in that picture. Most everything around us has to be floating, so the concept of it is way different than what you see in our area.
I would say in this instance, they would be wrong to go any direction other than peaceful protests/marches. The department response has to play some part in the response that takes place.
No it wouldnāt. There are a number of large corporate headquarters based in Memphis, commercial space availability is as low as itās ever been, development is running wide open right now especially with the Ford deal, etc. Memphis has its issues especially with safety in the central district area, but it is night and day different than it was 15 years ago. Iām in and out of Memphis a lot and I would rather go to Memphis at this point than Nashville.
The officers have all been fired, charges are pending and also filed already against a couple of them, the PD has been extremely open about how bad this looks and is going to look, etc. Weāll see what happens tonight and this weekend, but the PD, City, etc have done what they can to be open and lay everything out in the last week up through releasing the camera footage today
Build taking place this week, should have my 2 door Bronco in the next couple of weeks. Popped up in my Ford Pass app today ready to activate. Ordered it 18 months ago to be an extra vehicle to use at the lake/beach instead of a Jeep, looks like it is going to be the daily driver for a little while.
It doesnāt matter what Iām driving, I park out away from everyone. The easiest way there is not to worry about how everyone else parks, is to park as far away as possible.
No, there was nothing really compelling about the interview from the part I heard. She sidestepped most of his questions about the interesting parts of her life.
They still have a ways to go. Iām considering getting out of mine after 9 months and they are still offering more than I have in it on trade which seemed nuts with the declining used market.
The other thread is a great read. Very odd, but still worth the time.
