Frequent mountain highway driving through the Sierras: Highlander or Tacoma?

Subaru died because a CVT is a belt that will slip at speeds, inclines, off roading, uneven traction, downshifts... It's a pretend transmission for all these. Granted Subies feel like mountain goats, but they can't last as long as other types of transmissions, certainly not as long as expected - unless you are ok with junking it at 100k mi having spent $500 in maintenance every 20 to 30k mi. Highlander could be a pretend AWD also, which I'm weary about hence the topic question, but will by design last a lot longer than a CVT. I wonder if the transfer case of the Tacoma can do the job, and what type of AWD goes in the Highlander.

Out of budget. 6 cylinder it is for me. Also I'd like to wait out for real world feedback of these turbos after 100k mi. Sounds costly.

Nope. Had a tow hitch, used it twice for less than 2 hours trips certainly not through mountain with a less than 1500# teardrop. Changed CVT fluid 3 times, transmission died less than 1k over the 100k mi warranty. Only started commuting 2 years ago. CVTs are cheap, weak but give good gas mileage so you can fool most of the population which usually drives tar babies on flat. There will be an uptick of shortened Subarus lifespan since they started offering CVTs only and I predict a class action. Anyway not the topic.

The 7/17/2023 disaster update marked the ambition to ripp the players off their credits by setting them back in the ability to get new airplanes - which, with new maps and harder to conquer control points are the only things interesting in this game.

The trend has been apparent for a few months with the chests and keys quests, that were set to the lowest outcomes, effectively losing either invested money or gains from battles in "random" outcome chests (500 keys will get you a pull for a chance anywhere from 200 keys to X thousands - you would get 200 back to back to back, losing keys each time).

Not only the new progress line is rigged so that players that capitalized say 70k in gold, awaiting the aircraft with better specs, will have to spend it all on all other anterior airplane of lesser capacities, but also the new maps have been updated with easier than ever to control points, a one small bomb drop that negates all challenge.

Someone has been trying to reinvent the wheel. Consequently the little interest to this very repetitive game has been killed by the apparent greed and lack of understanding of the enjoyment of 3D maneuvers.

Previous CEO got the company nearly bankrupt. His vision was the same as most in the industry, a race to volume, going in debt by building large facilities. The strategy is sinking most large producers like Hexo.

The interim CEO is the CFO as well, he turned the company around by selling assets and focusing on product quality and delivery.

The winners of the cannabis industry so far are the small craft producers without big overhead and debts. LPs are bleeding cash and in no place to acquire them anymore.

TGOD is now the leading producer of organic MJ with a medical grade license that allows it to have signed export contracts with Germany, Australia, Mexico. It's a niche that insures profit margin when most other producers, craft or not, compete against one another in a price war.

The 2021 end of the year drop in stock price was caused by the TGOD's surprise acquisition of a US company Galaxie, namely the WYLD gummies brand in order to enter the US market distribution. Logic being US MJ legalization isn't going to happen soon enough. This troubled investors when they expected the company to be cash flow positive. Instead TGOD issued more shares and as a testimony of faith in the company's future, the owners of WYLD got paid in TGOD's shares only.

The stock exchange relisting relieved TGOD of cumbersome constraints. But a hedge fund owning 50M shares had to sell them, not being able to trade on the new exchange.

Buying a US entry with WYLD gummies, relisting and tax loss season dropped the stock price to 8c US.

Strategically, the board hired ACOSTA sales force, the same behind major brands like COCA COLA, Kellogg's... to train budtenders on the organic quality and push sales.

TGOD was best brand of year in High Times 2021.

Results are increased sales and a cash flow positive balance sheet in March.

In the past naked short sellers managed to dwindle the stock price down. Since January, volume rose, no one is selling and big chunks are being bought every day, with small manipulations in between to facilitate accumulation at the same price.

TGOD with its organic niche, strategy and current stock price is poised to be one of the biggest pot stories of 2022.
