    Do flats count in the car problems equation?

    i drove the Tesla without shoes on last night and man its nice to feel the responsiveness of a real ev

    you know how the tundra has a non linear gas pedal? The Tesla does not. Or maybe that’s the plaid setting?

    reliable? That’s been our 2015 4Runner

    why can't Ferd put the RaptorR engine in a 4wd Lariat F150?

    nobody wants all that silly offroad crap on a pavement princess.

    that would sell like hotcakes.

    If they made that pkg...i would drive it wearing flip-flops.

    That's why. The EPA and Cali have made it so high selling stuff can't have low MPG.

    <sitting here waiting for the Chevron deference case to take affect>

    EPA....now I'm all lathered up.


    Cali?
    isn't that the state that is going to give certain non-citizens up to $150k to buy a new home...but citizens don't qualify?

    that state?

    Whatever this forum told me to do
    one of the few things in life that gets me balled up is when someone else tells me what I "need".

    we have allowed ourselves to be minions for decades.

    In rebellion,
    I will drive the '34 Ford all weekend.
    the electric choke is broke,
    it runs rich,
    and should properly black smoke the nearby environment sufficiently.

    for compoundingly synergistic efficiency of all of the above

    I will drive the '34 in flip flops.

    so, if you see a husky old dude with ankle tan lines driving a hot rod....pay him no mind.

    just smile and wave.

    this should have went without saying....


    socks and flip-flops are a sacrilege.

    and if you wear Birkenstocks, you mean nothing to me.

    crocs as well.


    buncha lazy bastards.

    When I'm wearing socks and have to duck outside for something for a second, I'll generally throw my flip flops on to bother my wife.

    I know this post is old news in the land of "Tundras Live" but I thought I'd share anyway.

    Quick back story: I'm now in my 40s and a full-time desk jockey. My only exercise is dirt biking (single track/ hard enduro) & drumming. Over the past year, I've definitely felt the effects of a mostly sedentary lifestyle and poor diet, have certainly felt less "manly" and recently had my T checked - it's on the low end of normal (or so I'm told). I'm now making life changes as living and feeling like this SUCKS.

    Although Mrs. PolishedTRD has always joked that I have ridiculous grip strength, I had to know where I stand. I need a win, haha. So after seeing this post, I bought the 167 & 195 lb Captains of Crush grippers.

    In my right hand is the #1.5 167lb & in my left is the #2 195lb. This is a screen shot of a vid the Mrs. took of me squeezing both. I have a little ways to go with the right, but FWIW, I am predominantly right handed, and still on the mend from a broken distal phalanx and fractured metacarpal in the 4th finger of my right hand.

    Shitty sleep. My shoulder woke me up at 340A from pain. Took an Oxy (I had Tylenol before bed) and went to the couch to sleep on the recliner. Back up at 650A with some pain still and walked up stairs. Slept until 930- still not feeling it.
