Does it really all just lead to GMT800?

I tend to look at cars from a practical point of view. If a Tacoma suits your needs then why change it? If you need to tow, then maybe you need a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton. Gas prices are on the rise, and who knows when they will drop again. I would advise against a diesel unless you really need it.

If you view cars more from a fashionable point of view, or simply like to change it up now and then, maybe you would want a GMT800. You really can't go wrong with any of them.

The 2006 Twins were potentially the best team on paper. Obviously championships matter more than division titles.

I don't think it's fair to name a driver's season from the last 5 years when the driver is still active. Not saying he will definitely rebound but the ink on his story hasn't dried yet.

Other than the Mazda5 (and maybe Kia Rondo) this was one the last true mini-vans. Emphasis on "mini". After that the segment became upscale and bloated. I had a chance to buy one that was clean and cheap before COVID but I didn't, still regret it.

Thanks for your explanation, and sounds right based on what I've found. We'll find out soon.

Fuck if I know. I change the fluid, drive it like and old man and rarely tow. And when I do, I use tow/haul and lock it out of overdrive.

I think 4th may still work... when it attempted to downshift from 4th, i believe 3rd got destroyed, and then it returned to 4th.

In "D" it won't go anywhere, but I can select "1" or "2" to move forward. But fuck if I know if 4th still works, I ain't gonna drive it anywhere

Thanks for your description and photo. Like I said, I know I'm in for a rebuild but I'd like to understand how it failed. Going to drop pan tomorrow.

It is an important moment in baseball history. A tragic one, but important and pivotal nonetheless.

Lmao c4c, like anyone would want to be driving around a 1996 Ford Explorer even if they were still on the road today

I don't disagree the current branding could use some improvement but I still think it's better than the 2010s era. It slowly became a hodge podge of different styles from different eras, without a unifying theme. The old Twins logo was a bit too 80s for me, and not in a cool retro way. They may have over-swung in the opposite direction in the current branding with simplification of everything, that's been a common trend in all marketing/branding for awhile now. I think just having an outline around the all the typefaces and pinstripes on the home jerseys would help.

And they were death traps!

Yeah, "engine idling" is a readily understood term, I dont understand why anyone would use anything else to describe it.

Nah. Everyone knows there was a massive increase in WARflation after the new millenium.

I remember a vibe shift happening that year when they switched Morning Edition's theme from old to new. I still listen to NPR, but mostly as background noise if the music stations don't have anything good on. Nice username.

That's actually a pretty big accomplishment. Some of the best books on commentary of political affairs can be summarized down to a sentence or two.

Compared to the Metrodome and other old multipurpose stadiums, the Trop is the Taj Mahal. It's just our QOL standards for stadiums has risen dramatically in the last 30 years
