I can see some things that require significant ongoing expenses. Like subscription to a cell phone based wireless data plan. 

EV range. Ie car has 100kwh battery, and you own the entire battery. But you have to pay more to use the full battery range. 

This. This is why I still come here! Hahaha

The issue with the FJ was that it was too milquetoast. And the 4runner was the same thing with good visibility, regular rear doors, and better rear seats. For only a little more $. There was little reason to choose the FJ. Toyota needed to go for a bronco level SUV with the FJ to see bigger sales like the bronco is…

To me I think about half are we early concept. And at least a few are near production ready. You can tell by the wheels and interior. The Tacoma obviously is a production ready taco. The EV part who knows. And some cars appear to be also ready for production. But some are pretty far off it looks. 

Jose - I think you have some really good insight here on the future of those brands and products. I think the big SUV is a Highlander. But probably also an ascent.

It’s the bronco sport of FJ cruisers.

What? Have you learned nothing from Tesla? It needs one giant wiper attached to a used wind turbine blade on the a pillar! That how EVs do!

Toyota land cruiser. Over 6k lbs. 25 gallon tank. 13mpg. I think we have a winner. 

i love me some HF packing blankets. I actually use them occasionally on very tight off-road obstacles. I have pretty good rock protection underneath and all around. But there’s places where you’ll just kiss the side of a big rock face on your door if you tilt just wrong. A moving blanket on the rock can really reduce…

It’s cold outside today. You sit on a throne of lies!!

The law in Connecticut is the use of force necessary. That’s not quite the same thing as equal force. If a person reasonably believes that a person is going to inflict significant harm on them, deadly force is justified in response. Connecticut also allows deadly force to protect property from a variety of trespasses…

This is not how it works. 

Ford superduty 6.0 powerstroke. I've never experienced anything like it. It was SOOO bad. I think half it's miles came from the back of a tow truck. 

Okay chicken little. You’d better stay safely in your home. If that’s too dangerous for you, I’m sure driving is absolutely terrifying.

Logging is not Christmas tree cutting. The risks are not comparable.

Have you ever cut down a 60 foot tree? And a 6 foot tree? You wouldn’t use the same saw for starters. So the chainsaw may not care, but they’d be totally different saws with different risks. Not to mention the enormous differences in risk of cutting trees weighing thousands of lbs in the forests vs one weighing tens…

You think Christmas tree harvesting is logging?? Hahahaha. That has to be a joke! 

I don’t think that matters to the choice between fake and real trees. Do you really want to compare the dangers and employee injuries from oil and gas exploration, the chemical refining, and the production of the plastics and metals? I don’t think it’s even remotely close.

I’m guessing this is kind of a joke. But if not - have you ever cut down a tree? It isn’t particularly difficult or dangerous. I’ve cut down hundreds in my lifetime for a variety of reasons. I cut down about 20 per year on my own property just for general thinning and clearing deadfall.
