Sunroof on my 1996 Land Cruiser still works. Hopefully I didn’t just jinx it...

Brohard?

Because you live in the south and it’s a million degrees in the summer. White cars FTW!

Bright side - used Land Cruisers will drop in price again!

Nice thing about an 80 - you can assume it’s leaking oil to give you a nice passive corrosion resistant undercoat.

The Lexus version of the FZJ80 kept the 1FZ-FE 6 cylinder. V8's weren’t offered until the UZJ100 in 1998.

The standard 1FZ-FE will make it... eventually.

Naked Lunch meets Fear and Loathing.

You just made me feel much better about my ‘96 Land Cruiser getting a cool 10.5mpg in town.

Fix it! Valve cover gasket on the 80 is trivial. Do the spark plug seals and the distributor gasket while you’re in there.

Nice try - except no one is allowed to open carry in an airport.

Not sure how by any stretch of the imagination you could paint Bernie Sanders as warmongering, but whatevs...

I don’t know how old you are. I’m guessing 20-ish or younger based on your description of it as a short life so far. I’m 41 and I can tell you in my memory, at 20 the world seemed full of possibilities. We believed that as a society we were doing better. We were improving. Sure we had the cold war and we were raised…

In Switzerland they don’t need no stinkin’ police cars. They just take your picture all sneaky-like and mail you the ticket later. You’ll never see them watching you and they don’t make deals like our squishy American traffic laws allow for. Ask me how I know.

It proves at least as much as your unsourced assertions that higher nominal tax rates discourage “initiative and effort” (not sure if those are two different things). On the other hand, I could refer you to the economies of both the UK and Germany, both of which impose tax rates up to 45% (with another 5.5% surcharge…

Bullshit. My income has roughly quadrupled over the past ten years, with higher taxes each step along the way. Same thing when I purchased investment properties and improved the value of my home - higher (and more complicated) taxes. I’m not allowed to deduct mortgage interest or student loan interest. And at no point…

Depends on the color and finish but for solid primary colors I still love the sheen of a good urethane single stage polished out. Over-reliance on clear for shine can wind up looking too plasticky for my tastes.

Last time I checked Honda does taffeta white as a single stage, no clear coat. Problem is they still lay it on as thin as a base/clear system. I think a couple other manufacturers might run whites as single stage but yeah, vast majority are base+clear.
