you must not have read the same article...

You get a star for that, I am about to get a trailer and hitch for my CX5 so I can give up on my hopes of an efficient small truck.

I don’t want a hypermiling truck that’s for sure, but seriously why can’t I dream-of/have a mid-size (or smaller) truck that will give me better than 24mph on the highway? I don’t have the budget for more than one car, so I want a truck that won’t suck too much for a DD. you were right on the footprint of the car and…

As a former Hilux owner I must disagree. They’re not “dogshit” they’re honest about what they are: they are work trucks and they don’t pretend to be premium bro-trucks (unless you get the top of the line G limited). They are capable but not comfy, I’ll give you that much.

Same here!

I’m so disappointed, I’m just going to hang around here for the comments. As a former Hilux owner (and lifelong Toyota fan) who moved to the USA, I’m still bitter that I can’t have a decent small-midsize manual diesel pickup. Sigh.

Thanks for the early notice! Just bought mine.

Patrick, pardon the boring question but since I would want to daily drive this car: With a 1:1 6th gear, how high are the RPMs at around 70-75mph in top gear on the highway? That transmission sounds great for hooning about, but not so great for a DD with 70% highway duty.

hahaha I like that you “made room” in the bottle.
At any given time I have Appleton rum in my house (I’m a loyal Jamaican after all) but someone left a bottle of Bacardi Limon and I think I will use it for my next infusion as it is a bit too harsh on its own.

I made Peach infused Soju last month and the results were pretty good!
700ml Soju + 3 ripe peaches + 1 liter large-mouthed bottle (mason jar could work well). I peeled the peaches before slicing them because they were too ripe for me to give a good scrub. Actually it worked out better because the result was not dark or…

ROFL! That is a sad story, but hey you never know until you try right?

I’m a rum fan, but I’m no purist, that said I would definitely try Vanilla Rum. What rum are you using as your base?

Nice, I’m going to do some Pineapple-infused Tito’s soon.

My mom had one of those, but never seen her use it. I never knew what it was for until many years later.

I must be getting old, because I find that car rather enticing!

I was born in 83, a year after this movie. But even before I knew about the movie my father and I shared Conan the Barbarian comics. So eventually when I found the movie on VHS (yes I was older, Pops did not approve of that movie for a young kid) it already had nostalgia baked in. Arnold’s portrayal and lines like the…

[tips fedora] Thank you ma’am!

Today is Jamaica’s Independence Day, so in my hometown’s honor I will share a “pre-bottled cocktail” with you: Rum Punch. The recipe is also fun to recite!

Mason jars are also preferable if you’re throwing in fruit (either as garnish or as an ingredient) because then it makes it easier to get to the fruit later. And trust me, you will want to eat said fruit because it soaks up the alcohol!
