    Qft. Wait until you see bay boats.  Not at all unheard of to go over 200k.  

    Yeah, but important is important. It’s crazy. Last CC I bought 2003 used was a 1999 was 21k. I’m looking for 17 ft crappie boat and almost all are this price. Like I say, I have to go to sleep so I can yell at clouds tomorrow.

    Wait, so now trucks are luxury goods? We have very different opinions of that term. I also don’t know that i would agree the average new truck buyer is “young” people unless we have a very different opinion on the term young. My back parking lot at the office has an eclectic mix of vehicles, there is only one newer model truck. Most staff people are in large/small SUV’s, older trucks for the male interns, and a couple of cars.

    Just pointing out that youngsters are willing to put up big bucks for stuff. Honestly how many of those trucks are purchased vs leased. I’m not a surly 2% but I’m not willing to finance or lease a vehicle for 6-8 years. Look up average vehicle loans nowadays. It is stupidity to us olds.

    I would drop the “extremely”. Do a google search for most reliable trucks. I looked at a handful of lists and the Tacoma consistently was at the top of these lists. However, I do think much of the legend is anecdotal.

    All vehicles are so much better nowadays. 
    Us olds member when if you kept a vehicle over 70000 miles you were playing with fire. This was 80’s.

    If something near the majority drives them, by default it can’t be a status symbol. Plus, there is nothing status like about most trucks. This whole train of thought is completely illogical for a sub $XXXXX vehicle or we have different ideas of status. It’s an SUV with a bed that gets used occasionally if anything. Hell spending $60k on a new F150 makes more sense than a large segment of vehicles on the road for someone looking to buy new.

    Read some report a few days ago that “luxury goods” are almost always purchased by “young” people nowadays. 
    So yes it is a status symbol for youngens. Most just haven’t figured out interest rates on CC.

     

    Will yell at clouds tomorrow as it almost 8pm and I have to go to sleep.

    Back in my day we made do with a single .50 cal and it worked fine in every kind of weather. Now everybody thinks they need a dual barrel .50 and I bet they never even point it anything.

    So fricking old school. 
    In todays world the ruskies could fall on your head at any time. Half the wolverines are dead or have aids so please realize the issues of todays 50 cal owners and quit trying to block our rights.

    I bought a Nissan, the bed is small, the gas mileage is pretty shitty, but it gets me to my backwater fishing spots and I only have to commute once a week.  spacer.png

    I also have a tractor, I only need it a few days a year, but when I do need it, I have it.

    Speaking of fishing spots, uhhhh pm me. swear to Arch Manning and the holy ghost I want let them known.

  7. I drove a truck for 30 something years. Sold the boat (used at least 2 per month) and got a small suv. Hated it. 
    Sold it and bought a tacoma. Told the wife if I ever decide to do work on the house or yard I will need it, in case I don’t want to pay someone else to do it.  Haven’t needed it yet. But like it.  Figure it’s my last vehicle cause I usually keep 12+ years.

  8. No Pre Jeans anyone?

    Been about 10 years but back then that was on everyone’s Cajun list. Last time there, sitting in a booth and guys behind me talking I couldn’t understand a word they were saying. Figured I was in the right place. 
     

    Also 1st time I had seen the gumbo and tater salad combo.

  9. Honestly only use them to get an idea of cost and then book with actual airline. Cost will be basically the same and if you have problems you deal with airline and not a company that doesn’t care about after the sale. 
     

    Not that airlines care but at least their people have power to make changes.

    Anyone have thoughts on Curacao?

    Just saw this. 
    Don’t go. People are nice. Lots of Swedish young ladies that work hotels if you’re young and single. Or not.
